I. Development of the Periodic Table
The modern periodic table is credited to Dmitri
Mendeleev
Table is based on the periodic law
II. Electron Configuration
Quantum Mechanical Theory describes the behavior
of electrons in atoms.
A. Electron Spin and the Pauli Exclusion Principle
Electron configurations
can also be represented
in an orbital diagram
In an orbital diagram the
direction of the arrow
shows the electron spin
Orbital diagram
number of electrons
in the orbital or subshell
1s1
principal quantum
number n
angular momentum
quantum number l

H

B. Multi-electron atoms
In H and He the energy
of the orbital depends
only on principle
quantum number
For atoms with more
than 2 electrons, the
energy depends on l & n
Example
Lithium
What are the possible
quantum numbers for
the last (outermost)
electron in Cl?
Magnesium
C. Electron configuration of multi-electron atoms
Now that we know the
energy of orbitals we can
build ground state
electron configuration
for other elements.
We use Hund’s rule of
filling degenerate
orbitals to fill them
singly with up spin first
Hund’s Rule
III. Electron Configuration, Valence Electrons and the
Periodic Table
The highest principle number
increases by 1 going down a
row
As you move across a row the
number of electrons increases
by 1 in the outer most energy
level.
IV. QM Model Explains Ions
A all atoms in a column
will have the same
number of valence
electrons
V. Periodic Variations of Physical Properties
The chemical and physical properties of elements are
a periodic function of atomic number
Recall that the number of electrons is equal to the atomic
number of an element
Properties to be considered
Atomic Radius (and Ionic Radius)
Effective Nuclear Charge
Ionization Energy
Electron Affinity
A. Atomic Radius
Atomic radius is the
average bonding radii
between 2 nonbonding
atoms
Atomic Radius Trend
B. Effective Nuclear Charge
Zeff is the “positive
charge” felt by an
electron.

VI. Ionic Radius
Radius of cations/anions
Effects physical and
chemical properties of an
ionic compound
VI. Ionic Radius
A. Ionization Energy
Minimum energy
required to remove an
electron from a gaseous
atom
B. Electron Affinity
Measure of how easily an
atom will accept an
electron
C. Electronegativity
An atom’s ability to
attract electrons to itself
in a chemical bond.
