They therefore are therefore monovalent .They exist in oxidation state X- The number of energy levels increases down the group from Fluorine to Astatine. The more the number of energy levels the bigger/larger the atomic size. e.g. The atomic size/radius of Chlorine is bigger/larger than that of Fluorine because Chlorine has more/3 energy levels than Fluorine (2 energy levels). Atomic radius and ionic radius of Halogens increase down the group as the number of energy levels increases. The atomic radius of Halogens is smaller than the ionic radius. This is because they react by gaining/acquiring extra one electron in the outer energy level. The effective nuclear attraction on the more/extra electrons decreases. The incoming extra electron is also repelled causing the outer energy level to expand to reduce the repulsion and accommodate more electrons. Table showing the atomic and ionic radius of four Halogens

This is because Chlorine atom/molecule reacts by gaining/acquiring extra one electrons. The more/extra electrons/energy level experience less effective nuclear attraction /pull towards the nucleus .The outer enegy level expand/increase to reduce the repulsion of the existing and incoming gained /acquired electrons. Electronegativity The ease of gaining/acquiring extra electrons is called electronegativity. All halogens are electronegative. Electronegativity decreases as atomic radius increase. This is because the effective nuclear attraction on outer electrons decreases with increase in atomic radius. The outer electrons experience less nuclear attraction and thus ease of gaining/acquiring extra electrons decrease. It is measured using Pauling’s scale. Where Fluorine with Pauling scale 4.0 is the most electronegative element and thus the highest tendency to acquire/gain extra electron. Table showing the electronegativity of the halogens.
It is measured using Pauling’s scale. Where Fluorine with Pauling scale 4.0 is the most electronegative element and thus the highest tendency to acquire/gain extra electron. Table showing the electronegativity of the halogens. Halogen F Cl Br I At Electronegativity (Pauling scale) 4.0 3.0 2.8 2.5 2.2 The electronegativity of the halogens decrease down the group from fluorine to Astatine. This is because atomic radius increases down the group and thus decrease electron – attracting power down the group from fluorine to astatine. Fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table because it has the small atomic radius. Electron affinity The minimum amount of energy required to gain/acquire an extra electron by an atom of element in its gaseous state is called 1st electron affinity. The SI unit of electron affinity is kilojoules per mole/kJmole-1 . Electron affinity depend on atomic radius. The higher the atomic radius, the less effective the nuclear attraction on outer energy level electrons and thus the lower the electron affinity. For halogens the 1st electron affinity decrease down the group as the
43 atomic radius increase and the effective nuclear attraction on outer energy level electrons decrease. Due to its small size/atomic radius Fluorine shows exceptionally low electron affinity. This is because a lot of energy is required to overcome the high repulsion of the existing and incoming electrons. Table showing the election affinity of halogens for the process X + e -> X- The higher the electron affinity the more stable theion.i.e Cl- is a more stable ion than Br- because it has a more negative / exothermic electron affinity than Br- Electron affinity is different from: (i) Ionization energy. Ionization energy is the energy required to lose/donate an electron in an atom of an element in its gaseous state while electron affinity is the energy required to gain/acquire extra electron by an atom of an element in its gaseous state. (ii) Electronegativity. -Electron affinity is the energy required to gain an electron in an atom of an element in gaseous state. It involves the process: X(g) + e -> X-(g) Electronegativity is the ease/tendency of gaining/ acquiring electrons by an element during chemical reactions.
(ii) Electronegativity. -Electron affinity is the energy required to gain an electron in an atom of an element in gaseous state. It involves the process: X(g) + e -> X-(g) Electronegativity is the ease/tendency of gaining/ acquiring electrons by an element during chemical reactions. It does not involve use of energy but theoretical arbitrary Pauling’ scale of measurements. Physical properties State at room temperature Fluorine and Chlorine are gases, Bromine is a liquid and Iodine is a solid. Astatine is radioactive . All halogens exist as diatomic molecules bonded by strong covalent bond. Each molecule is joined to the other by weak intermolecular forces/ Van-der-waals forces. Melting/Boiling point The strength of intermolecular/Van-der-waals forces of attraction increase with increase in molecular size/atomic radius. Iodine has therefore the largest atomic radius and thus strongest intermolecular forces to make it a solid. Iodine sublimes when heated to form (caution: highly toxic/poisonous) purple vapour. Halogen F Cl Br I Electron affinity kJmole-1 -333 -364 -342 -295
44 This is because Iodine molecules are held together by weak van-derwaals/intermolecular forces which require little heat energy to break. Electrical conductivity All Halogens are poor conductors of electricity because they have no free delocalized electrons. Solubility in polar and non-polar solvents All halogens are soluble in water(polar solvent). When a boiling tube containing either chlorine gas or bromine vapour is separately inverted in a beaker containing distilled water and tetrachloromethane (non-polar solvent), the level of solution in boiling tube rises in both water and tetrachloromethane. This is because halogen are soluble in both polar and non-polar solvents. Solubility of halogens in water/polar solvents decrease down the group. Solubility of halogens in non-polar solvent increase down the group. The level of water in chlorine is higher than in bromine and the level of tetrachloromethane in chlorine is lower than in bromine. Caution: Tetrachloromethane , Bromine vapour and Chlorine gas are all highly toxic/poisonous.

Using Bromine water Yellow colour of bromine water fades in test tubes containing sodium iodide. -Coloured Solution formed. Explanation The halogens displace each other from their solution. The more electronegative displace the less electronegative from their solution. Chlorine is more electronegative than bromine and iodine. On adding chlorine water, bromine and Iodine are displaced from their solutions by chlorine. Bromine is more electronegative than iodide but less 6than chlorine. On adding Bromine water, iodine is displaced from its solution but not chlorine.

47 Bond energy is the energy required to break/ form one mole of chemical bond II. Explain the trend in bond Energy of the halogens above: -Decrease down the group from chlorine to Iodine -Atomic radius increase down the group decreasing the energy required to break the covalent bonds between the larger atom with reduced effective nuclear @ charge an outer energy level that take part in bonding. (c)Group VIII elements: Noble gases Group VIII elements are called Noble gases. They are all non metals. Noble gases occupy about 1.0% of the atmosphere as colourless gaseous mixture. Argon is the most abundant with 0.9%. They exists as monatomic molecules with very weak van-der-waals /intermolecular forces holding the molecules. They include: All noble gas atoms have a stable duplet(two electrons in the 1st energy level) or octet(eight electrons in other outer energy level)in the outer energy level. They therefore do not acquire/gain extra electron in the outer energy level or donate/lose. They therefore are therefore zerovalent . The number of energy levels increases down the group from Helium to Randon.
They therefore do not acquire/gain extra electron in the outer energy level or donate/lose. They therefore are therefore zerovalent . The number of energy levels increases down the group from Helium to Randon. The more the number of energy levels the bigger/larger the atomic size/radius. e.g. The atomic size/radius of Argon is bigger/larger than that of Neon because Argon has more/3 energy levels than Neon (2 energy levels). Atomic radius noble gases increase down the group as the number of energy levels increases. The effective nuclear attraction on the outer electrons thus decrease down the group. The noble gases are generally unreactive because the outer energy level has the stable octet/duplet. The stable octet/duplet in noble gas atoms lead to a Element Symbol Atomic number Electron structure State at room temperature Helium He 2 2: Colourless gas Neon Ne 10 2:8 Colourless gas Argon Ar 18 2:8:8 Colourless gas Krypton Kr 36 2:8:18:8 Colourless gas Xenon Xe 54 2:8:18:18:8 Colourless gas Radon Rn 86 2:8:18:32:18:8 Radioctive
48 comparatively very high 1st ionization energy. This is because losing /donating an electron from the stable atom require a lot of energy to lose/donate and make it unstable. As atomic radius increase down the group and the 1st ionization energy decrease, very electronegative elements like Oxygen and Fluorine are able to react and bond with lower members of the noble gases.e.g Xenon reacts with Fluorine to form a covalent compound XeF6.This is because the outer electrons/energy level if Xenon is far from the nucleus and thus experience less effective nuclear attraction. Noble gases have low melting and boiling points. This is because they exist as monatomic molecules joined by very weak intermolecular/van-der-waals forces that require very little energy to weaken and form liquid and break to form a gas. The intermolecular/van-der-waals forces increase down the group as the atomic radius/size increase from Helium to Radon. The melting and boiling points thus increase also down the group. Noble gases are insoluble in water and are poor conductors of electricity.

Neon is used in street and advertisement light Helium is mixed with Oxygen during deep sea diving and mountaineering. Helium is used in weather balloon for meteorological research instead of Hydrogen because it is unreactive/inert.Hydrogen when impure can ignite with an explosion. Helium is used in making thermometers for measuring very low temperatures. 49 C. PERIODICITY OF ACROSS THE PERIOD. (See Chemical bonding and Structure)
PERIODICITY OF CHEMICAL FAMILES (Patterns down the group) The number of valence electrons and the number of occupied energy levels in an atom of an element determine the position of an element in the periodic table. i.e The number of occupied energy levels determine the Period and the valence electrons determine the Group. Elements in the same group have similar physical and chemical properties. The trends in physical and chemical properties of elements in the same group vary down the group. Elements in the same group thus constitute a chemical family. (a) Group I elements: Alkali metals Group I elements are called Alkali metals except Hydrogen which is a non metal.
The trends in physical and chemical properties of elements in the same group vary down the group. Elements in the same group thus constitute a chemical family. (a) Group I elements: Alkali metals Group I elements are called Alkali metals except Hydrogen which is a non metal. The alkali metals include: Element Symbol Atomic number Electron structure Oxidation state Valency Lithium Li 3 2:1 Li+ 1 Sodium Na 11 2:8:1 Na+ 1 Potassium K 19 2:8:8:1 K+ 1 Rubidium Rb 37 2:8:18:8:1 Rb+ 1 Caesium Cs 55 2:8:18:18:8:1 Cs+ 1 Francium Fr 87 2:8:18:32:18:8:1 Fr+ 1 All alkali metals atom has one electron in the outer energy level. They therefore are monovalent. They donate /lose the outer electron to have oxidation state M+ The number of energy levels increases down the group from Lithium to Francium. The more the number of energy levels the bigger/larger the atomic size. e.g. The atomic size of Potassium is bigger/larger than that of sodium because Potassium has more/4 energy levels than sodium (3 energy levels). Atomic and ionic radius The distance between the centre of the nucleus of an atom and the outermost energy level occupied by electron/s is called atomic radius. Atomic radius is measured in nanometers(n).The higher /bigger the atomic radius the bigger /larger the atomic size. 2 The distance between the centre of the nucleus of an ion and the outermost energy level occupied by electron/s is called ionic radius. Ionic radius is also measured in nanometers(n).The higher /bigger the ionic radius the bigger /larger the size of the ion. Atomic radius and ionic radius depend on the number of energy levels occupied by electrons. The more the number of energy levels the bigger/larger the atomic /ionic radius. e.g. The atomic radius of Francium is bigger/larger than that of sodium because Francium has more/7 energy levels than sodium (3 energy levels). Atomic radius and ionic radius of alkali metals increase down the group as the number of energy levels increases. The atomic radius of alkali metals is bigger than the ionic radius.
The atomic radius of Francium is bigger/larger than that of sodium because Francium has more/7 energy levels than sodium (3 energy levels). Atomic radius and ionic radius of alkali metals increase down the group as the number of energy levels increases. The atomic radius of alkali metals is bigger than the ionic radius. This is because alkali metals react by losing/donating the outer electron and hence lose the outer energy level. Table showing the atomic and ionic radius of some alkali metals Element Symbol Atomic number Atomic radius(nM) Ionic radius(nM) Lithium Li 3 0.133 0.060 Sodium Na 11 0.157 0.095 Potassium K 19 0.203 0.133 The atomic radius of sodium is 0.157nM .The ionic radius of Na+ is 0.095nM. This is because sodium reacts by donating/losing the outer electrons and hence the outer energy level. The remaining electrons/energy levels experience more effective / greater nuclear attraction/pull towards the nucleus reducing the atomic radius. Electropositivity The ease of donating/losing electrons is called electropositivity. All alkali metals are electropositive. Electropositivity increase as atomic radius increase. This is because the effective nuclear attraction on outer electrons decreases with increase in atomic radius. The outer electrons experience less nuclear attraction and can be lost/ donated easily/with ease. Francium is the most electropositive element in the periodic table because it has the highest/biggest atomic radius. Ionization energy
3 The minimum amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom of element in its gaseous state is called 1st ionization energy. The SI unit of ionization energy is kilojoules per mole/kJmole-1 .Ionization energy depend on atomic radius. The higher the atomic radius, the less effective the nuclear attraction on outer electrons/energy level and thus the lower the ionization energy. For alkali metals the 1st ionization energy decrease down the group as the atomic radius increase and the effective nuclear attraction on outer energy level electrons decrease. e.g. The 1st ionization energy of sodium is 496 kJmole-1 while that of potassium is 419 kJmole-1 .This is because atomic radius increase and thus effective nuclear attraction on outer energy level electrons decrease down the group from sodium to Potassium.

It requires therefore less energy to donate/lose outer electrons in Potassium than in sodium. Physical properties Soft/Easy to cut: Alkali metals are soft and easy to cut with a knife. The softness and ease of cutting increase down the group from Lithium to Francium. This is because an increase in atomic radius, decreases the strength of metallic bond and the packing of the metallic structure Appearance: Alkali metals have a shiny grey metallic luster when freshly cut. The surface rapidly/quickly tarnishes on exposure to air. This is because the metal surface rapidly/quickly reacts with elements of air/oxygen. Melting and boiling points: Alkali metals have a relatively low melting/boiling point than common metals like Iron. This is because alkali metals use only one delocalized electron to form a weak metallic bond/structure. Electrical/thermal conductivity: Alkali metals are good thermal and electrical conductors. Metals conduct using the outer mobile delocalized electrons. The delocalized electrons move randomly within the metallic structure.
