4.2Periodicity
4.2 Periodicity
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the lesson the students should be able to
(a) Explain the variation in atomic radii
i) across Period 2 and 3
ii) down a group.
(b) Compare and explain the atomic radius of an
element to its corresponding ionic radius

Radii
(a) Variation In Atomic Radii

 The size/radius of atom is difficult to be defined


because the electron cloud has no clear boundary.
 The atomic radius is taken as half of the distance
between the nuclei of two adjacent identical atom.
 Example:

Radius, r = a (Å)

Size  volume
V = 4/3 πr3 , V r

Radii
(a) Variation In Atomic Radii

There are two major factors affecting the size of atom


in the Periodic Table :

i. Effective nuclear charge (Zeff)

ii. Value of the principal quantum number of


the valence electrons ; shielding effect

4.2 Trends : Atomic & Ionic
Radii
(a) Variation In Atomic Radii
i) Effective nuclear charge, Zeff
The charge an electron actually experiences as a
result of shielding (screening) effects by other
electrons.
Electrons moving around the nucleus do not
experience equal strength of nucleus attraction.
Electrons closer to the nucleus experience stronger
nucleus attraction than the electrons further away
from the nucleus.

Radii
(a) Variation In Atomic Radii
i) Effective nuclear charge, Zeff
The effective nuclear charge,Zeff which is the
“positive charge” felt by an electron is given by :

Zeff = Z – S

Where ...
Z = number of proton
S = number of electrons filled at the inner
orbital or number of inner / core

Radii
(a) Variation In Atomic Radii
i) Effective nuclear charge, Zeff n=1
Example 1 : n=2
Consider the lithium atom with
electronic configuration of 1s2 2s1
The inner 2 electrons ( 1s2 ), shield the outer 2s1
electrons from the positive charge of 3 protons.
Therefore : Zeff = Z–S
= 3–2
= +1
Zeff experienced by the 2s electron is only + 1 8

Radii
(a) Variation In Atomic Radii
i) Effective nuclear charge, Zeff n=1
Example 2 :
Consider a sodium atom.
n=2
Na : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
n=3
core electron
The 3s electron would be perfectly screened from
the positively charged nucleus.
Zeff = Z – S
= + 11 – 10 = + 1
Thus, the valence electron would experience an
attraction to a net positive charge of only +1 9

ii) The Shielding Effect


It is also known as the screening effect.
The Shielding Effect is caused by the mutual
repulsion between electrons of inner shell and
the electrons occupying valence shell.
It also occurs between electrons of the same shell
but is less effective compared to that of electrons
of different shells.

Example …

Na : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 K : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
The shielding effect on valence è of Na is less than K.
Therefore, when n increases, the shielding effect
increases. 12
