PERIODIC PROPERTIES
CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS AND PERIODICITY IN PROPERTIES
Need for classification:
It is verydifficult to studyindividuallythe chemistryof all the elements and millions of their compounds,
hence to simplify and systematize the study of chemistry of the elements and their compounds, they are
classified into groups and periods. Early attempt to classify the elements:
Classification of Lavoiser
Elements had been classified into two major groups by Lavoiser
1. Metals
2. Nonmetals
This classification was based on the differences in their properties.
1.
The metal word itself can be considered an acronym in which each alphabet signifies a characteristic of
these substances:
M = malleability. The most malleable beingAu and Pt.
sblock < pblock < dblock > fblock.
M = melting point (also boiling point) of the metals in general is high. Metal having the highest melting
point is Tungsten (W) and the highest boiling point is Renium (Re).The lowest melting point is of Mercury
(Hg) and it is one of the two elements in the periodic table which are liquid at 25oC. (The other being
Bromine).
The element having highest mp is W.
Element having lowest mp and bp is He.
2.
E stands for elasticity (Youngs modulus)

E is also for electropositive.
E also for good conductors of Electricity. Best isAg > Cu >Au. Metals are good conductors of electricity
and heat due to the presence of free mobile delocalized electrons.
Graphite and black phosphorous are also conductors of electricity but not of heat.
Whenever a compound of metal is electrolysed metal always deposited at cathode while non metal at
both anode as well as cathode.
3.
T = Tenacity (Tensile/ductile means elongation) Most tensile/ductileAu/Pt.

Least Pb
T = Toughness/ Hardness. Hardest is W. Exception : diamond is the hardest material ever known.
Synthetic hard materials are called abrasive. These are
CorundumAl2O3, Carborundum SiC, Borazone BN, Boron carbide B4C (non stoichiometric), Tantalum
Carbide and Tungsten Carbide as hard as diamond.
4.
A=Allotropy/polymorphism, shown mainly by nonmetals. Metals such as Sn show polymorphism.

=Atomicity, Number of atoms in the molecule of an element.Atomictyis verysignificant for nonmetals
because it reveals the shape of the molecules and physical properties (state) of the molecules.
A=Alloys formation.
BANSAL CLASSES Private Ltd. Gaurav Tower, A-10, Road No.-1, I.P.I.A., Kota-05
Alloys are homogeneous mixture of two or more metals. It may also have some non metals as well.
Every alloyis a solid solution except the alloys of Hg which is a solution of a solid into a liquid. The alloys
of mercuryare called amalgum.Alloys of metals with at least a nonmetal are called interstitial compounds.
Alloys of only metals of nearly similar character are called substitutional compounds. Steel is a
homogeneous mixture. It also is an interstitial compound.
Purpose of alloying a metal are:
a.
To increase the utility of the metals eg. fuse wire (Pb+ Sn + Bi). It melts in boiling water.
b.
To increase the hardness.
Alloying is property of metals not of nonmetals.
5.
L = lustre, Shine property of metals. Each metal having a characteristic.
6.
S = sonorous. Each metal gives special sound on beating.
Dobereiners law of traids:

It was first attempt towards classification. He arranged similar elements in a group of three elements
called triad and the atomic mass of the middle elements of the traid is approximately the arithmetic
mean of the other two.
e.g. Ca40 Sr87.5 Ba137
At. wt. of Sr =
137 40
88.5
2
88.5 is nearly similar to 87.5 of atomic wt. of Sr.

Such a group of elements is called Dobereiners triad.

Dobereiner could arrange only a few elements as triads and there are some such elements present in a
triad, whose atomic weights are approximately equal, e.g.
Fe
Co
Ni
Ru
Rh
Pd
There fore, this hypothesis was not acceptable for all elements.
Newlands law of octaves:
When the lighter elements are arranged in order of their increasing atomic weights, then every eighth
element is similar to the first element in its properties, similarly as the eighth node of a musical scale
is similar to 1st one. e.g. Na 8th element resembles in their properties with Li. Similarly K the 8th
element with Na and so on.

positions on the descending part of the curve.
Halogens and the noble gases (except helium) occupy positions on the ascending part of the curve.

MENDELEEVS PERIODIC LAW

(i)
(ii)
Mendeleevs Periodic Law - The physical and chemical properties of elements are the periodic
function of their atomic weight
Characteristic of Mendeleevs Periodic Table (a) It is based on atomic weight (b) 63 elements were known, noble gases were not discovered.
(c) 12 Horizontal rows are called periods. (d) Vertical columns are called groups and there were 8
groups in mendeleevs Periodic table. (e) Each group upto VIIth is divided into A & B subgroups.
Asub groups element are called normal elements and Bsub groups elements are called transition
elements. (f) The VIIIth group was consists of 9 elements in three rows (Transition metals group).
(g) The elements belonging to same group exhibit similar properties.
MODIFIED MENDELEEFS PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS
(iii)
e.g.-
Merits or advantages of Mendeleevs periodic table (a) Study of elements - First time all known elements were classified in groups according to their
similar properties. So study of the properties become easier of elements.
(b) Prediction of new elements - It gave encouragement to the discovery of new elements as some
gaps were left in it. Sc (Scandium), Ga (Gallium), Ge (Germanium),Tc(Technetium) were the elements
for whom position and properties were defined by Mendeleev even before their discoveries and he
left the blank spaces for them in his table.
Blank space at atomic weight 72 in silicon group was called Eka silicon (means properties like silicon)
and element discovered later was named Germanium.
Similarly other elements discovered after mendeleev periodic table were.
Eka aluminium - Gallium (Ga)
Eka Boron - Scandium (Sc)
Eka Silicon - Germanium (Ge)
Eka Manganese - Technetium (Tc)
(c) Correction of doubtful atomic weights - Correction were done in atomic weight of some elements.
Atomic Weight = Valency Equivalent weight.
Initially, it was found that equivalent weight of Be is 4.5 and it is trivalent (V = 3), so the weight of Be
was 13.5 and there is no space in Mendeleevs table for this element. So, after correction, it was
found that Be is actually divalent (V = 2). So, the weight of Be became 2 4.5 = 9 and there was a
space between Li and B for this element in Mendeleevs table.
Corrections were done in atomic weight of elements are U, Be, In, Au, Pt.
(iv)
Demerits of Mendeleevs periodic table (a) Position of hydrogen - Hydrogen resembles both, the alkali metals (IA) and the halogens (VIIA) in
properties so Mendeleev could not decide where to place it.
(b) Position of isotopes - As atomic weight of isotopes differs, they should have placed in different
position in Mendeleevs periodic table. But there were no such places for isotopes in Mendeleevs
table.
(c) Anomalous pairs of elements - There were some pair of elements which did not follow the
increasing order of atomic wts.
eg. Ar and Co were placed before K and Ni respectively in the periodic table, but having higher atomic
weights.

MODERN PERIODIC LAW

Mosley proved that the square root of frequency () of the rays, which are obtained from a metal on
showering high velocityelectrons is proportional to the nuclear charge of the atom. This can be represented
by the following expression.
= a (Zb) where Z is nuclear charge on the atom and a and b are constants.
The nuclear charge on an atom is equal to the atomic number.

According to modern periodic law. The properties of elements are the periodic functions of their atomic
numbers

Structural features of the long form of the periodic table.

On the basic of the modern periodic law, a scientist named Bohr proposed a long form of periodic
table that was prepared by Rang and Warner.
It consists of 18 vertial columns called groups and 7 horizontal rows called periods.
Elements of groups, 1, 2, 13 17 are called normal or representative elements.
Elements of groups 3 11 are called transition elements.
The 14 elements with atomic numbers (Z) = 58 71 (occurring after lanthanum 57La in the periodic
table) are called lanthanides or rare earth elements and are placed at the bottom of the periodic
table. The 14 elements with atomic numbers (Z) = 90 103 (Occurring after actinium 89Ac in the
periodic table) are called actinides and are placed at the bottom of the periodic table.
The Eleven elements with Z = 93 103 (93Np 103Lr) which occur in the periodic table after uranium
and have been prepared from it by artificial means are called transuranics. These are all radioactive
elements.
The elements belonging to a particular group are said to constitute a chemical family which is usually
named after the name of the first element. For example, Boron family (group 13), carbon family (group
14), nitrogen family (group 15), and oxygen family (group 16). In addition
to this, some groups
have typical names. For example,
Elements of group 1 are called alkali metals
Elements of group 2 are called alkaline earth metals
Elements of group 16 are called chalcogens
Elements of group 17 are called halogens
Elements of group 18 are called zero group or noble gases.

The long form of the periodic table contains seven periods. These are :
1st period (1H 2He) contains only two elements. This is the shortest period.
2nd period (3Li 10Ne) and third period (11Na 18Ar) contain 8 elements each and are called
short periods.
4th period (19K 36Kr) and 5th period (37Rb 54Xe) contain 18 elements each and are called long
periods.
6th period (55Cs 86Rn) contains 32 elements and is the longest period.
7th period (87Li ) is, however, incomplete and contains at present only 24 elements.
In yet another classification, the long form of the periodic table has been divided into four blocks (i.e.,
s, p, d and f ), depending upon the subshell to which the last electron enters.
MERITS OF LONG FORM OF PERIODIC TABLE OVER MANDELEEFS PERIODIC TABLE
Positions of Isotopes and Isobars - Isotopes have same atomic number and the periodic table is
based on atomic numbers. Therefore, various isotopes of the same elements have to be provided the
same position in the periodic table. Isobars gave same atomic weights but different atomic numbers and
therefore they have to be placed at different positions.
The positions of actinides and lanthanides is more clear now because these have been placed in IIIB
groups and due to paucity of space, these are written at the bottom of the periodic table.
In the periodic table a diagonal line from B toAt separates the metals, nonmetals and metalloids from
one another. The elements like B, Si,As, Te,At, that are situated near this line are metalloids i.e. these
have characteristic of both metals and nonmetals.
The general electronic configuration of the elements remains same in group.
DEFECTS OF LONG FORM OF PERIODIC TABLE
The position of hydrogen is still disputable as it was there in Mendeleef periodic table in group IAas well
as IVA & VIIA.
Helium is an inert gas but its configuration is different from that of the other inert gas elements
Lanthanide and actinide series could not be adjusted in the main periodic table and therefore they had to
be placed in a separate block below the periodic table.
CLASSIFICATION IN BLOCKS
s-block elements.
Elements of groups 1 and 2 including He in which the last electron enters the s-orbital of the valence
shell are called s-block elements. There are only 14 s-block elements in the periodic table.
p-block elements.
Elements of groups 1318 in which the last electron enters the p-orbitals of the valence shell are called
p-block elements.
d-block elements.
There are three complete series and one incomplete series of d-block elements. These are: 1st or 3dtransition series which contains ten elements which atomic numbers 2130 (21Sc 30Zn).
2nd or 4d-transition series which contains ten elements with atomic numbers 39 48 (39Y 48Cd).
3rd or 5d transition series which also contains ten elements which atomic numbers 57 and 72 80
(57La, 72Hf 80Hg).
4th or 6d transition series which is incomplete at present and contains only nine elements. These are
89Ac, 104Rf, 105Ha, Unh (Unnihexium, Z = 106), 107Ns (Neilsobohrium), 108Hs (Hassium), 109Mt
(Meitherium), Uun (Ununnilium, Z = 110) and Uud (Unundium, Z = 112) or Ekamercury. The element,
Z = 111 has not been discovered so far. Thus, in all there are 39 d-block elements.
f-Block elements are called inner-transition elements. In these elements, the f-subshell of the
anti-penultimate is being progressively filled up. There are two series of f-block elements each
containing 14 elements. The fourteen elements from 58Ce 71Lu in which 4 f-subshell is being
progressively filled up are called lanthanides or rare elements. Similarly, the fourteen elements from
90Th 103Lr in which 5 f-subshell is being progressively filled up are called actinides.

TEMPORARY NOMENCLATURE
The IUPAC proposed a system for naming elements with Z > 100.
The names are derived by using roots for the three digits in the atomic number of the elements and
adding the ending -ium. The roots for the numbers are:
0
1
2
3
4
5
6

nil
un
bi
tri
quad pent hex
sept oct
enn
In certain cases the names are shortened; for example, bi ium and tri ium are shortened to bium and
trium, and enn nil is shortened to ennil.
The symbol for the element is made up from the first letters from the roots which make up the name. The
strange mixture of Latin and Greek roots have been chosen to ensure that the symbols are all different.

Anomalous behaviour of the first element of a group:

The first element of a group differs considerably from its congeners (i.e. the rest of the elements of
its group). This is due to (i) small size (ii) high electronegativity and (iii) non availability of d-orbitals
for bonding. Anomalous behaviour is observed among the second row elements (i.e., Li to F).
11
EFFECTIVE NUCLEAR CHARGE
In a polyelectronic atom, the internal electrons repel the electrons of the outermost orbit. This results in
decrease the nuclear attraction on the electrons of the outermost orbit.
Therefore, only a part of the nuclear charge is effective on the electrons of the outermost orbit. Thus, the
inner electrons protect or shield the nucleus and thereby decrease the effect of nuclear charge towards
the electrons of the outermost orbit.
Thus the part of the nuclear charge works against outer electrons, is known as effective nuclear
charge
Z *Z
Z* = effective nuclear charge

s = shielding constant and Z = nuclear charge
Ascientist named slater, determined the value of shielding constant and put forward some rules as
following.
The shielding effect or screening effect of each electron of 1s orbital is 0.30.
The shielding effect of each electrons of ns and np i.e. electron of the outermost orbit, is 0.35.
The shielding effect of each electron of s or p orbitals of the penultimate orbit (n 1) is 0.85.
The shielding effect of each electron of s or p orbital of the prepenultimate orbit (n 2) and below this is1.0.

Periodic Properties: Properties which are directly or indirectly related to their electronic configuration and
show a regular gradation when we move from left to right in a period or from top to bottom in a group
are called periodic properties. Some important periodic properties are atomic size, ionization energy
electron affinity, electronegativity, valency, density, atomic volume, melting and boiling points etc.
12
(a)
Atomic size : It refers to the distance between the centre of the nucleus of the atom to the outermost
shell containing electrons. Since absolute value of the atomic size cannot be determined, it is usually
expressed in terms of the following operational definitions.

For heteronuclear diatomic molecule.AB, while difference between the electronegativity values of
atomAand atom B is relatively larger, (XA and XB) are the electron negativity in Pauling Scale.
dAB = rA + rB 0.09 |(XA XB)| [Bond length or radius expressed in ]
where XA and XB are electronegativityvalues of high electronegative elementAand less electronegative
element B, respectively. This formula was given by Stevenson & Schomaker.
Note : Covalent radius is slightly smaller then actual radius.

(ii)
Van der Waalsradius. It is defined as one-half of the distance between the nuclei of two non-bonded
isolated atoms or two adjacent atoms belonging to two neighbouring molecules of an element in the solid
state.
By definition, van der Waalsradius of an element is always larger than its covalent radius.
Variation of atomic radii :
(i) Across the period atomic radii decreases
(ii) Where we move from 17th group to 18th atomic radii increases the period decreases

Ionic size. An atom can be changed to a cation by loss of electrons and to an anion by gain of
electrons. A cation is always smaller than the parent atom because during its formation effective
nuclear charge increases and sometimes a shell may also decrease. On the other hand, the size of
an anion is always larger than the parent atom because during its formation effective nuclear charge
decreases e.g..
Mg2+ < Mg, Cl > Cl
The size of a cation is smaller in comparison to the size of its corresponding atom. This is because of the
fact that an atom on losing electrons/s form a cation, which has lesser number of electrons/s than the
number of proton/s. This results in increase in the effective nuclear charge.
Size of cation
Examples -
1
Amount of positive ch arg e or Z eff
(1) Mn > Mn+2 > Mn+3 > Mn+4 > Mn+6 > Mn+7 (size)
(2) Pb+2 > Pb+4
The size of an anion is greater than the size of its corresponding atom, because the number of electrons
present in the anion gets larger than the number of protons due to gain of electron/s. This results in
decrease in the effective nuclear charge.
Size of anion Amount of negative charge
O0 < O1 < O2
Size of Isoelectronic Series
Isoelectronic ions or species are the neutral atoms, cations or anions of different elements which have
the same number of electrons but different nuclear charge e.g..
The size of the isoelectronic species depends upon their nuclear charge Greater the nuclear charge,
lesser the radii.
The ionic radii decrease moving from left to right across any period in the periodic table

IONISATION POTENTIAL
The energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from the outermost orbit of one mole of
isolated gaseous atoms of an element, is called ionisation potential (IP). This ionisation is an endergonic
or energy-absorbing process.
An electron cannot be removed directly from an atom in solid state. For this purpose, the solid state is
converted to gaseous state and the energy required for this is called sublimation energy.

The energy required to remove one electron from a neutral gaseous atom to convert it to monopositive
cation, is called first ionisation potential (Ist IP). The energy required to convert a monopositive cation to
a diapositive cation is called second ionisation potential (IInd IP) of an atom
Ist IP < IInd IP < IIIrd IP because as the electrons go out of the atom, the ionic size goes on decreasing
and the amount of positive charge goes on increasing.
Factors Affecting Ionisation Potential
Atomic size : When the size of an atom is very large the electron of the outermost orbit bound to the
nucleus by weaker attractive forces. Such an electron will be readily removed from the atom. Therefore.
The value of ionisation potential will be low.
(i)
Ionisation potential
(ii)

atomic size
Effective Nuclear Charge : Atomic size decreases with increase in effective nuclear charge because,
higher the effective nuclear charge stronger will be the attraction of the nucleus towards the electron of
the outermost orbit and higher will be the ionisation potential
Ionisation potential Effective nuclear charge
(iii)
Shielding Effect : The electrons of internal orbits repel the electrons of the electron of the outermost
orbit due to which the attraction of the nucleus towards the electron of the outermost orbit decreases and
thus atomic size increases and the value of ionisation potential decreases.

shielding effect

(iv)
Stability of half filled and fully filled orbitals : The atoms whose orbitals are half-filled (p3, d5, f7) or
fully-filled (s2 , p6 , d10 , f14) have greater stability than the others. Therefore, they required greater
energy to for removing out electron. However stability of fully filled orbitals is greater than that of the
half filled orbitals
I.P.of fully filled orbitals I.P. of half filled orbitals
(v)
Penetration power : In any atom the s orbital is nearer to the nucleus in comparison to p, d and f
orbitals. Therefor, greater energy is required to remove out electron from s orbital than from p, d and f
orbitals. Thus the decreasing order of ionisation potential of s, p, d and f orbitals is as follows
s > p > d> f
Io n isa tio n p o te n tia l p e n e tra tio n p o w e r
Periodic Table & Ionisation Potential

(a)
In a Period : The value of Ionisation potential normally increase on going from left to right in a period,
because effective nuclear charge increases and atomic size decreases.
Exceptions :
In second period ionisation potential of Be is greater than that of B, and in the third period ionisation
potential of Mg is greater than that ofAl due to high stability of fully filled orbitals.
In second period ionisation potential of N is greater than O and in the third period ionisation potential of
P is greater than that of S, due to stability of half filled orbitals.
The increasing order of the values of ionisation potential of the second period elements is
Li < B < Be < C < O < N < F < Ne
The increasing order of the values of ionisation potential of the third period elements is
Na < Al < Mg < Si < S < P < Cl < Ar
InnerTransition Elements : The size of inner transition elements is greater than that of d block elements.
Therefore the value of ionisation potential of f block elements is smaller than that of d block elements
and due to almost constant atomic size of f block elements in a period the value of their ionisation
potential remains more constant than that of d block elements.
In a Group
The value of ionisation potential normally decreases on going from top to bottom in a group because
both atomic size and shielding effect increase.
Exception :
The value of ionisation potential remains almost constant from Al to Ga in the IIIAgroup.
(B>Al , Ga > In)
IP1(Sn) < IP1(Pb)
IP1(In) < IP1(Tl)
In the periodic table the element having highest value of ionisation potential is He.
The values of ionisation potential of noble gases are extremely high, because the orbitals of outermost
orbit are fully-filled (ns2 , np6) and provide great stability.
In a period, the element having least value of ionisation potential is an alkali metal (group IA) and that
having highest value is inert gas (Group 0)
17
Applications of Ionisation Potential

The elements having high values of ionisation potential have low reactivity, e.g. inert gases.
The value of ionisation potential decreases more on going from top to bottom in a group in comparison
to a period. Therefore, reactivity of metal increases and the atom forms a cation by loss of electron.
1
Re activity of metal
The elements having low value of ionisation potential readily lose electron and thus behave as strong
reducing agents.
1
Re ducing property
The elements having low value of ionization potential readilylose electron and thus exhibit greater
metallic property.

Metallic property
The elements having low value of ionisation potential readily lose electron and thus have basic property.

N+1 (6e) = 1s2, 2s2, 2p2
O+1 (7e) = 1s2, 2s2, 2p3
F+1 (8e) = 1s2, 2s2 , 2p4

(B) The first ionisation potential of Na is less than first I.P of Mg
(C) The first I.P. of Al is less than the first I.P. of Mg
(D) The second I.P. of Mg is greater than the second I.P. of Na
(D)
ELECTRON AFFINITY (EA)
The energy released on adding up one mole of electron to one mole of neutral atom (A) in its gaseous
state to form an anion (A) is called electron affinity of that atom. In general, electron affinity is
associated with an exothermic process.
A(g) + e A (g) , Heg = En
When one electron adds up to a neutral atom, it gets converted to a unit negative ion and energy is
released. On adding one more electron to the mononegative anion, there is a repulsion between the
negatively charged electron and anion. In order to counteract the repulsive forces, energy has to be
provided to the system. Therefore, the value of the second electron affinity is positive.
A (g) + e A2 (g) ,Heg = + En Heg : Electron gain enthalpy
Factors Affecting Electron Affinity
Effective Nuclear charge : When effective nuclear charge is more, then the atomic size less. Hence
EA increases.
Electron affinity Effective nuclear charge
Atomic Size orAtomic Radius : When the size or radius of an atom increases, the electron entering the
outermost orbit is more weakly attracted by the nucleus and the value of electron affinity is lower.

Shielding Effect : Shielding effect is directly proportional to atomic size and atomic size is inversely
proportional to electron affinity.

Stability of Fully-Filled and Half-Filled Orbitals :

The stabilityof the configuration having fully-filled orbitals (p6, d10, f14) and half-filled orbital (p3 , d5 , f7)
is relativelyhigher than that of other configurations.
Periodic Table and Electron Affinity :

In a period, atomic size decreases with increase in effective nuclear charge and hence increase in
electron affinity.
Exception :
On going from C6 to N7 in the second period, the values of electron affinity decreases in stead of
increasing. This is because there are half-filled (2p3) orbitals in the outermost orbit of N, which are more
stable. On the other hand, the outermost orbit in C has 2p2 configuration.
In the third period, the value of electron affinity of Si is greater than that of P. This is because electronic
configuration of the outermost orbit in P atom is 3p3 , which being half-filled, is relatively more stable
The values of electron affinity of inert gases are zero, because there outermost orbit has fully-filled p
orbitals.
In a period, the value of electron affinity goes on decreases on going from group IA to group IIA. The
value of electron affinity of the elements of group IIA is zero because ns orbitals are fully-filled and such
orbitals have no tendency to accept electrons.
In a Group
The values of electron affinity normally decrease on going from top to bottom in a group because the
atomic size increases which decreases the actual force of attraction by the nucleus.
Exceptions (E.A. 2nd period p-block element < E.A. 3rd period p-block element)
The value of electron affinity of F is lower than that of Cl, because the size of F is verysmall and compact
and the charge densityis high on the surface. Therefore, the incoming electron experiences more repulsion
in comparison to Cl . That is why the value of electron affinity of Cl is highest in the periodic table.
The values of electron affinity of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals can be regarded as zero, because
they do not have tendency to form anions by accepting electron.

ELECTRONEGATIVITY
The measure of the capacity or tendency of an atom to attract the shared pair of electrons of the covalent
bond towards itself is called electronegativity of that atom.
Electronegativity is a relative value that indicates the tendency of an atom to attract shared electrons
more than the other atom bonded to it. Therefore it does not have any unit. Pauling was the first scientist
to put forward the concept of electronegativity.
The numerical value of electronegativity of an atom depends on its ionisation potential and electron
affinityvalues.
Factors Affecting Electronegativity
