Atomic structure and periodic table

1.5a Atomic structure and periodic table

1.5a Relative massesThe unit of mass is 1/12 of the mass of an atom of the isotope Carbon-12 (12C=12 exactly)


The Relative Atomic Mass (Ar)of an element is the ratio of the mass of an average atom of that element to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of the nuclide Carbon-12.

The Relative Isotopic Mass of a nuclide is the ratio of the mass of one atom of that nuclide to 1/12 of the mass of a Carbon-12 atom.

The Relative Molecular Mass (Mr)of a substance is the ratio of the mass of an average molecule of that substance to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of the nuclide Carbon-12.


Task1.5a Explain what is meant by

The relative atomic mass of helium is 4.002602.


The relative isopotic mass of deuterium is 2.0000.

The relative molecular mass of water is 18.

1.5b mass spectrometer

Uses of mass spectrometers


The mass spectrometer can detect the abundance of isotopes such as U-238 and Pb-206.


In any one place the Earth concentrates some minerals like uranium but not others like lead. So some rocks form containing uranium but not lead.

U-238 is radioactive and decays to form Pb-206 over time.

This process is controlled by the half life of U-238 which is 4.5*109 years. The relative abundance of U-238 to Pb-206 can be used to calculate the age of the rock.

Rock is found to have ages up to about 4 thousand million years, but not older. This is the age of the Earth when the first solid rock formed from the magma on the surface of the cooling planet.


Radiocarbon dating using C-14 can be used to similarly date organic matter.


The mass spectrum of an element shows the relative isotopic mass (m/e) and relative abundance of each isotope of the element being tested.


In a mass spectrum the height of each peak = the relative abundance.

The Relative Atomic Mass of an element can be found by finding the sum of the products of the relative abundance of each isotope and its relative isotopic mass and the dividing by the total relative abundance.



work sheets mass spetrometer ( AS level)

Write a sentence for each stage in the formation of a mass spectrum.


Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus

The Relative Atomic Mass of an element is the weighted (to take account of relative abundance) average of the the Relative Isotopic Masses of all of the isotopes of that element.E.g. Chlorine has two isotopes with mass numbers (and relative isotopic masses
35 and37

35 37

75% is Cl and 25% is Cl

17 17


Let there be 100 atomsTotal mass of 100 atoms = (75 * 35) + (25 * 37) = 3550

Average mass of an atom (relative atomic mass of chlorine) = Total mass /Number of atoms=3550/100so relative atomic mass of chlorine = 35.5

PRACTICE QUASTIONS

1. Bromine exists as two isotopes with mass numbers 81 and 79. If there is 50% of each isotope in a sample what is the relative atomic mass of bromine?
2. Calculate the relative atomic mass of the following:(a) gallium 60% Ga 69 and 40% Ga 71
(b) neon 90% Ne 20 and 10% Ne 22
(c) silver 50% Ag 107 and 50% Ag 109
(d) boron 20% B 10 and 80% B 11
(e) neon 90.92% Ne 20, 8.82% Ne 22 and 0.26% Ne 21.
(f) lead 52.3% Pb 208, 22.6% Pb 207, 23.6% Pb 206 and 1.5% Pb 204.

ionization energies


The first ionisation energy is the enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous atoms of an element each lose an electron to form gaseous ions each with a single positive charge.

It is the enthalpy change for the reaction: M(g) ---> M+(g) + e-

The second ionisation energy is the enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous ions of an element each with a single positive charge each lose an electron to form gaseous ions each with a double positive charge.

It is the enthalpy change for the reaction: M+(g)---> M2+(g) + e-

All of these ionizations involve the removal of a negative electron from a positive nucleus. The attraction between these must be over come by supplying energy. The process is always endothermic. Example 1st IE of Na = +500kJmol-1


Task1.5d.1 Define the third ionisation enthalpy for the element M and give an equation.

Task1.5d.2 Define the first ionisation enthalpy for sodium, magnesium, chlorine and neon.


Task1.5d.3 Define the second ionisation enthalpy for lithium, aluminium and oxygen.


1.5e Electronic structureThe graph of successive ionisation energies against ionisation number shows electrons grouped into three energy levels or quantum shells with similar energies.

Electron 1 (ionisation number = 1, removed first) from the third shell, electrons 2-9 in second shell, electrons 10 and 11(removed last) from first shell closest to the nucleus.

Electron 1 is on its own in the outer shell indicating that this element is in group 1. The graph of first ionisation energy against atomic number shows the grouping of electrons into s, p (and d) subshells (orbitals) within the (quantum shells) energy levels. The general trend is for ionisation energy to increase with increasing atomic number across a period but 1st IE B < 1st IE Be and 1st IE O < 1st IE N.

PRACTICE QUSTIONS

Label the diagram with symbols for the elements.


Label electrons removed as s or p.

Write two sentences using the frame: The ionisation energy (increases/decreases) (from left to right across a period/down a group) because (distance from outer electrons to nucleus is increasing/the nuclear charge in increasing)

structure

Chemistry: Structure.
Metallic bonding.
Metallic bonding is the array of positive ions surrounded by sea of free mobile electrons.
Metals are strong because of the powerful attraction between the positive centres and the free electrons.
Metals can conduct electricity because the free electrons can move through out the structure carrying heat energy.
Metals are malleable and ductile because the layers of atoms can slide over each other when force is applied.
An alloy is a mixture of metals
Example of alloy: brass [mixture of copper & zinc]
Alloys are hard because in alloys, the different metals have slightly different size. This breaks up the regular arrangement & makes it more difficult for the layers to slide.

Structure of Diamond

Diamond & graphite are having a giant co-valent structure.
In diamond, each carbon atom is strongly co-valently bonded with four other carbon atoms leading to a three dimentional network.
Diamond is hard due to the strong carbon-carbon co-valent bonds.
Diamond does not conduct electricity because all the electrons in the outer level of the carbon atoms are tightly held in co-valent bonds between the atoms. So no free electrons to move around and carry electricity.
Diamond does not dissolve in water or any other solvents because of the powerful co-valent bonds between the atoms.
Diamond is used in cutting concrete and glass because it is hard.
Diamond is used for making jewellery because it is shiny in nature.
Diamond is having a high sublimation point because of the strong co-valent bonds between the carbon atoms.

Structure of graphite

In graphite, each carbon atom is strongly co-valently bonded to three other carbon atoms leading to a hexagonal ring. Graphite has a layer structure and the layers are held by weak vanderwall’s force of attraction.
Graphite can conduct electricity because each carbon atom is strongly co-valently bonded to three other carbon atoms leaving an electron free. This free electron can carry electricity through out the structure.
Graphite is soft because the layers can slide over each other with the help of weak vanderwall’s force of attraction.
Graphite is not soluble in any solvent because of the strong co-valent bonding between the carbon atoms in the hexagonal ring.
Graphite is having a high sublimation point because of the strong co-valent bond between the carbon atoms.
Allotropy: some elements occur in more than one physical form. Eg: carbon (diamond & graphite).

Structure of sodium chloride.

Sodium chloride is having a giant ionic structure.
In solid sodium chloride, each sodium ion [Na+] is surrounded by 6 other chloride ion [Cl-] with strong electrostatic force of attraction.
Sodium chloride is having high melting point due to the strong electrostatic force of attraction between the ions.
Sodium chloride does not conduct electricity because the ions are held by strong electrostatic force of attraction. They are not free to move.
Sodium chloride conduct electricity in liquid state because the ions are free to move and can carry electricity.

Simple molecular structure

The molecules exist in simple molecules and weak force of attraction held them together. So they may be solid, liquid, or gas.
Simple molecules have low melting & boiling point due to the weak intermolecular force of attraction.
Ice, solid iodine, & solid carbondioxide are examples of simple molecular crystals. They have low melting point due to the weak intermolecular force.
Carbondioxide shape: linear.
Methane shape: tetrahydral.
Water shape: non-linear.
Ammonia shape: pyramidal.

monomers
A single molecule that has the ability to combine with identical or similar molecules, a process also known as polymerisation.
polymers
A polymer is a large molecules composed of repeating structural units (monomers) connected by covalent chemical bonds
PERIODIC TABLE



The elements in the periodic table are arranged according ti the increasing atomic number. In the peridoic table there are eight main groups and seven periods. The elements in the same groups have similar properties because they have the same number of electrons in their outer shell. The group number of the elements is the same as the number of the outer electrons. 3/4 of the periodic table is filled with metals. There are other elements called the semi metals whos hare both the properties of metals and non metals.They conduct like metals and are brittle like non-metals.

GROUP 1

They are called alkali metals because they react with water to form strong alkali. The increase in number of shells and atomic size causes increase ub the reactivity down the group because bigger the atom, the less its attractive force towards the nucleus. Group 1 metals have one electron in the outermost shell which is why they are called group 1. They are less dense than group 2 metals because they have only one electron in the outermost shell and they're stored under oil to prevent them from reacting iwth oxygen and water vapour form at the atnoshpere as it is dangerous.


Reaction with water

Sodium is a strong alkali, when it reacts with water :

1) It floats and melts.
2) Hydrogen gas is produced.
3) It forms sodium hydroxide.

Sodium + water ---------------> Sodium hydroxide + hydrogen
Na + H2O ---------------------> NaOH + H2
Na + HOH -------------> NaOH + H2

Potassium when reacting with water :

1) It floats.
2) It catches fire and burns with a lilac flame.
3) It forms potassium hydroxide and hydrogen.

Potassium + water --------------------> Potassium hydroxide + hydrogen
K + H2O --------------------------------> KOH + H2
K + HOH -------------------------------> KOH + H2

Lithium

Lithium forms Lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas when reacting with water.

Li + H2O ----------------> LiOH + H2

Rubedium (Rb)

Rb + H2O -----------> Rb (OH) + H2

When rubedium reacts with water :

1) Heat is produced.
2) Explosion takes place.
3) It forms Rubedium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
Group 2

* Group 2 elements are known as alkaline earth metals.

* They can form strong alkali and they occur widely on earth crust.

* They are metals.

* They have melting points and densities that are quite low for metals.

* They react with air, water or steam to form oxides and hydroxides.

* They show the same reactivity trend as group 1, increasingly reactive as you go down the group.

* They form compounds in which the metal has a +2 ion.

* They form white or colorless compounds which gives colorless solutions.

* The alkaline earth metals are reactive, but less reactive than the alkali metals.
