Electron Configurations
• Don’t have to write out the entire
electron configuration.
• There is a short-cut:
– Keeps focus on valence electrons
– An atom’s inner electrons are
represented by the symbol for the
nearest noble gas with a lower atomic
number.
K: [Ar]4s1

Exceptions to the order of filling
Electron Configurations
• The chemistry of an atom occurs at
the set of electrons called valence
electrons
• The valence electrons are electrons
in an atom’s highest energy level.
– For the Group – A elements, it is the
outermost s & p e- of the atom.
– Specifically the 2 s electrons + 6 p
electrons (octet electrons)
• The arrangement of the valence elead to the element’s properties.
History of the Periodic Table
• 70 elements had been discovered by
the mid-1800’s, but until Dmitri
Mendeleev, no one had a come with
a way to organize the elements.
– Mendeleev came up with the first
working system of filing the elements.
• He listed the elements in columns in
order of increasing atomic mass, and
then put columns together that were
similar
History of the Periodic Table
• Mendeleev left gaps in the table since
there were no current elements that
seemed to fit those spots
– Those elements were eventually
discovered and they fit perfectly into
an open spot.
• The 1st scientist that set the table in
order of atomic number was Henry
Moseley
History of the Periodic Table
• The modern PT is arranged by
increasing atomic number
– Increases from left to right, and top to
bottom
• This establishes the periodic law
– When the elements are arranged in
order of increasing atomic #, there is
a periodic repetition of their phys &
chem properties
Periodic Properties
• An element’s properties can go hand
in hand with electron arrangement
• We can use an element’s location on
the PT to predict many properties.

Atomic radius
Electron affinity
Electronegativity
Ionization energy
Ionic Size
Periodic Properties
• The radius of an atom is defined by
the edge of its last energy level.
– However, this boundary is fuzzy
• An atom’s radius is the measured
distance between the nuclei of 2
identical atoms chemically bonded
together - divided by 2.
Periodic Properties
• As we examine atomic radius from left
to right across the PT we see a gradual decrease in atomic size.
– As e- are added to the s and p
sublevels in the same energy level,
they are gradually pulled closer to the
highly positive nucleus
• The more e-’s in the atom the less
dramatic this trend looks
Periodic Properties
• The change in atomic radii across the
PT is due to e- shielding or to the
effective nuclear charge
– As we move across
the PT we are adding
e- into the same general vol. in which case
they will shield or
interact with each
other (repulsion)
Periodic Properties
– We are also adding protons into the
nucleus which increases the p+-einteraction (attraction)
• So the nucleus gains strength while
the e- aren’t gaining much distance,
so the atom is drawn in closer and
closer to the nucleus.
– Decreasing the overall radius of the
atom
Periodic Properties
• How does the size of an atom
change when electrons are added or
removed?
As an Atom loses
1 or more electrons
(becomes positive),
it loses a layer
therefore, its radius
decreases.
Periodic Properties
• How does the size of an atom
change when electrons are added
or removed?
As an Atom gains
1 or more electrons
(negative), it fills its
valence layer,
therefore, its radius
increases.
Periodic Properties
• Elements in a group tend to form ions
of the same charge.
– Modeled by electron configurations.

Periodic Trend of Ionic Charges
The Transition Elements are almost
unpredictable, and sometimes have
more than one possible charge -- due to
d orbitals --
Tend to lose
electrons to
become
positive
Tend to gain
electrons to
become
negative
Periodic Properties
• Another periodic trend on the table is
ionization energy (a.k.a. potential)
– Which is the energy needed to
remove one of an atoms e-s.
– Or a measure of how strongly an
atom holds onto its outermost e-s.
• If the e-s are held strongly the atom
will have a high ionization energy
Periodic Properties
• The ionization energy is generally
measured for one electron at a time
• You can also measure the amount of
energy needed to reach in and pluck
out additional electrons from atoms.
– There is generally a large jump
in energy necessary to remove
additional electrons from the atom.
the amount of energy required to remove
a 2p e– (an e- in a full sublevel) from a Na
ion is almost 10 times greater than that
required to remove the sole 3s e-
Periodic Properties
• There is simply not enough energy
available or released to produce an
Na2+ ion to make the compnd NaCl2
– Similarly Mg3+ and Al4+ require too
much energy to occur naturally.
• Chemical formulas should always
describe compounds that can exist
naturally the most efficient way
possible
Periodic Properties
• Another periodic trend dealing with
an e- is electron affinity
– Which is a measure of the ability of
an atom to attract or gain an electron.
• Atoms that tend to accept an e- are
those that tend to give a neg. charge.
– The closer to a full outer shell an
atom has, the higher the affinity
(more neg. the measurement)
Periodic Properties
• An atoms ability to lose an e- or gain
an e- can be used to understand the
Octet Rule
• Octet Rule: atoms tend to gain, lose,
or share electrons in order to acquire
a full set of valence electrons.
– 2 e- in the outermost s sublevel + 6 e–
in the outermost p sublevel= a full
valence shell
Periodic Properties
• Electronegativity is a key trend.
– It reflects the ability of an atom to
attract electrons in a chemical bond.
– F is the most electronegative
element and it decreases moving
away from F.
• Electronegativity correlates to an
atom’s ionization energy and electron
affinity
