Elements 912 table electron configuration

We have already observed (in Exercise 21-2) that the alkaline earths have similar chemistry. As shown in Table 21-1, they have similar electron configurations. Table 21-111 shows that each element has two valence electrons. With these basic likenesses in mind we shall explore the chemical trends among these elements. 

Make an electron configuration table like Table 22-1 for the fifth-row transition elements— yttrium (Z = 39) through cadmium (Z = 48). In elements 41 through 45, one of the 5s electrons moves over to a 4d orbital. In element 46, two electrons do this. 

Group 13/III is the first group of the p block. Its members have an ns np1 electron configuration (Table 14.5), and so we expect a maximum oxidation number of +3. The oxidation numbers of B and A1 are +3 in almost all their compounds. However, the heavier elements in the group are more likely to keep their s-electrons (the inert-pair effect, Section 1.19) so the oxidation number +1 becomes increasingly important down the group, and thallium(I) compounds are as common as...

Consequently all the halogens occur as halides. All these elements belong to the same group 17 of the periodic table which is indicated by the observed gradation in properties of these elements as is expected from their electronic configuration (Table).

A modem periodic table usually shows the atomic number along with the element symbol. As you already know, the atomic number also indicates the number of electrons in the atoms of an element. Electron configurations of elements help to explain the recurrence of physical and chemical properties. The importance and usefulness of the periodic table lie in the fact that we can use our understanding of the general properties and trends within a group or a period to predict with considerable accuracy the properties of any element, even though that element may be unfamiliar to us. 

To illustrate the relationship between the elements electron configurations and their placement in the periodic table, into what four blocks can the periodic table be divided ... 

Note. The electronic configuratioa of any element can easily be obtained from the periodic table by adding up the numbers of electrons in the various quantum levels. We can express these in several ways, for example electronic configuration of nickel can be written as ls 2s 2p 3s 3d 4s. or more briefly ( neon core ) 3d 4s, or even more simply as 2. 8. 14. 2... 

The detailed electronic configurations for the elements atomic numbers 5 5-86 can be obtained from the periodic table and are shown below in Table 1.5.

Whether an element is the source of the cation or anion in an ionic bond depends on several factors for which the periodic table can serve as a guide In forming ionic compounds elements at the left of the periodic table typically lose electrons giving a cation that has the same electron configuration as the nearest noble gas Loss of an elec tron from sodium for example yields Na which has the same electron configuration as neon... 

Elements at the right of the periodic table tend to gam electrons to reach the elec tron configuration of the next higher noble gas Adding an electron to chlorine for exam pie gives the anion Cl which has the same closed shell electron configuration as the noble gas argon... 

The electronic configuration for an element s ground state (Table 4.1) is a shorthand representation giving the number of electrons (superscript) found in each of the allowed sublevels (s, p, d, f) above a noble gas core (indicated by brackets). In addition, values for the thermal conductivity, the electrical resistance, and the coefficient of linear thermal expansion are included.

Magnesium [7439-95-4] atomic number 12, is in Group 2 (IIA) of the Periodic Table between beryllium and calcium. It has an electronic configuration of 1T2T2 3T and a valence of two. The element occurs as three isotopes with mass numbers 24, 25, and 26 existing in the relative frequencies of 77, 11.5, and 11.1%, respectively. 

Bromine [7726-95-6] Bi2, is the only nonmetallic element that is aUquid at standard conditions. Bromine [10097-32-2] Br, has at no. 35, at wt 79.904, and belongs to Group 17 (VIIA) of the Periodic Table, the halogens. Its electronic configuration is. The element s known isotopes...
