Chlorine nucleus, properties

The same argument can be made for each alkali atom because there is only one outer electron, one can model an alkah atom as a hydrogen-like atom with one electron and a nucleus made up of the true nucleus and the inner electrons. As above, this argument hinges on the fact that the inner electrons tend to be in the lowest possible states, while the Pauli exclusion principle forbids any two electrons from occupying the same state. And indeed, spectral data for alkali atoms resembles spectral data for hydrogen. Moreover, the chemical properties of the alkali atom is similar. For example, each combines easily with chlorine to form a salt such as potassium chloride, lithium chloride... 

The chemical properties of the chlorobenzenes and chloroethylenes differ strikingly from those of saturated aliphatic chlorine compounds and of aromatic compounds with chlorine substituted in a side chain. For example, methyl chloride and benzyl chloride are hydrolyzed by boiling alkali, giving the corresponding alcohols, whereas chlorobenzene is not affected by this treatment. In general there is a pronounced diminution in reactivity of a chlorine atom adjacent to an aromatic nucleus or double bond. 

Isotopes. Elements which like chlorine have uneven atomic weight really consist of a mixture of atoms of different masses but of the same atomic number. Ordinary chlorine, for example, of atomic weight 35.45 consists of a mixture of atoms of masses 35 and 37 of which there are about three times as many of the former as of the latter. These two atomic species are called isotopes. It is the atomic number, or the charge of the nucleus, which determines the chemical properties of the element so the different isotopes are identical in chemical properties and cannot be separated by any chemical processes. Thus the uniformity of the atomic weight of chlorine wherever found. The isotopes must have been uniformly mixed at the creation of our earth and no process since has ever sorted them out into separate fractions. 

The nucleus of an atom also contains neutrons. Neutrons are neutral - they have no electrical charge. Therefore, in theory, if an atom of chlorine had 17 protons and one neutron in its nucleus it would make no difference to its chemical properties. That is because it is the number of electrons in the outer electron shell that controls chemical properties, and it is the number of protons in the nucleus (the atomic number) that characterizes what the element is. Therefore, in theory, the nucleus of an atom of chlorine could have any number of neutrons in its nucleus - it would still be an atom of chlorine as long as it has 17 protons. So what is the difference between these atoms with varying numbers of neutrons There are two answers (aren t there always ). 

Langmuir s conception of the structure of the atom also threw a flood of light upon the meaning of isotopes—atoms of the same chemical and physical properties but differing in mass. Since chemical affinity depends upon the electrons in the outermost shell, Langmuir believed chlorine isotopes, for example, to have the same number of electrons outside the nucleus. Each chlorine isotope has seventeen free electrons of which seven are in the outermost shell. Since, however, they... 

Modification of the properties of the phenyl silicones is possible through chlorination of the aromatic nucleus.43 One or more chlorine atoms may be substituted for hydrogen in each ring, as by chlorination of the phenylchlorosilane with iron powder as a carrier. The chloro-phenylchlorosilane is then hydrolyzed, and the resulting silicols are condensed by heat, just as is done with unsubstituted phenylchloro-silanes. The product is a brittle fusible resin, but it melts at a higher temperature than phenyl silicone and is less flammable. If an average of three chlorine atoms has been introduced into each phenyl nucleus, the product will not bum at all. 

Isotopes of a chemical element are nuclides with the same number of protons (Z) but a different number of neutrons N) in the atomic nucleus. Isotopes of a chemical element (e.g., H and of hydrogen Cl and Cl of chlorine or Fe, Fe, Fe and Fe of iron, respectively) have the same number of protons (Z) and possess the same chemical properties, but differ in the number of neutrons (N) and thus in the mass number (A). With increasing Z, the number of neutrons in a stable atomic nucleus is higher than the number of protons. For mono-isotopic elements.

The chlorine substituents on the 2- and 7-positions of the fluorenylidene nucleus have a meta relationship to the carbene-carbon atom. Halogen substituents in these positions are electron withdrawing inductively. Since these substituents increase ACjj, it is clear that electron donating and electron withdrawing groups have opposite influence on the magnitude of AGst and thereby, in a predictable way, the substituents control the chemical properties of these carbenes. 

The addition of an electron to a neutral atom is described quantitatively by its electron affinity. This process produces a negatively charged particle called an anion, whose chemical properties bear no relationship to those of the neutral atom. In adding an electron to a neutral atom the principal force which operates is the attractive force of the positive nucleus. The attractive force of the positive nucleus decreases as the periods increase, because as additional electron shells are added to the atom, the outer electrons become more insulated from the nucleus by the intervening electron shells. It is easier to add an electron to the valence shell of fluorine (Period 2) than to that of chlorine (Period 3), and easier yet to add an electron to the valence shell of chlorine (Period 3) than to that of bromine (Period 4). The ease of forming anions within Group VII of the Periodic Table is F > Cl > Br > I. 

Many properties of nuclei can be simply explained on this basis. An example is provided by - Ne. The properties of this nucleus and related nuclei (such as - Ne and - Na), indicate that the - Ne nucleus has a prolate deformation from spherical shape that is, it is elongated. The structure expected for an aggregate of five helions is the trigonal bipyramid, five helions in positions corresponding to those of the chlorine atoms in phosphorus pentachloride (Figure 7-6), in agreement with the observed prolate deformation. 

The number of protons in the nucleus, and hence the nuclear charge, explains the structure of electrons surrounding the nucleus, which, in tinri, explains the chemical behaviour of the basic substance. This also resolves the dilemma as to where the (properties of) chlorine and sodium go in cooking salt the sodium in common salt, which remember is sodium the element, smely inhabits the same ordinary sensible world as the compound substance of which it is a component [Hendry, 2006a, 325].
