Figure 7.3 Periodic table with color-coding of main group elements, noble gases, transition metals, group 2B metals, lanthanides, and actinides.

Hydrogen combines with many elements to form binary hydrides MH (or M H ). All the main-group elements except the noble gases and perhaps indium and thallium form hydrides, as do all the lanthanoids and actinoids that have been studied. Hydrides are also formed by the more electropositive transition elements, notably Sc, Y, La, Ac Ti, Zr, Hf and to a lesser...

There are several forms in which the elements of the periodic chart may be arranged. The version shown here is one of the forms now in widespread use. Groups I, II, III, etc., and the noble gases are called the Main Group Elements. All of their inner shells are fully occupied with electrons. The other elements are called the Transition Elements. They all have at least one inner shell that is only partially filled with electrons. Referring to the entire table, the numbers written above the symbols of the elements (always whole numbers) are the atomic numbers of the elements, and the numbers written below the symbols of the elements (not necessarily whole numbers) are the atomic weights of the elements. Parentheses indicate insufficient information exists or material is not yet official. 

B Main group elements are in the A families, while transition elements are in the B families. Metals, nonmetals, metalloids, and noble gases are color coded in the periodic table inside the front cover. 

Neon has eight valence electrons and all of them are paired, hence the valence orbitals of neon are completely filled. Therefore neon is very unreactive and does not bond with any other element. Similarly, the group 8A elements (noble gases) helium and argon are very unreactive. However, krypton and xenon may form bonds under certain conditions. 

Reductive elimination is simply the reverse reaction of oxidative addition the formal valence state of the metal is reduced by two (or one in a bimetallic reaction), and the total electron count of the complex is reduced by two. While oxidative addition can also be observed for main group elements, this reaction is more typical of the transition elements in particular the electronegative, noble metals. In a catalytic cycle the two reactions always occur pair-wise. In one step the oxidative addition occurs, followed for example by insertion reactions, and then the cycle is completed by a reductive elimination of the product. 

Noble Metal Promotion Effects. In the group of noble metals Ru, Re and Pt have been extensively studied as promoter elements for Co-based F-T catalysts, whereas other metals, such as Rh, Pd, Os and Ir, are only reported in limited occasions. Hence, we will focus our attention on the promotion effects induced by Ru, Re and Pt.

True, except for the group 18 noble gas elements, which are not assigned an electronegativity number. The trend is that electronegativity decreases with an increasing number of shells down any one atomic group (vertical column) of the periodic table. 

The pattern of ion formation by main-group elements can be summarized by a single rule for atoms toward the left or right of the periodic table, atoms lose or gain electrons until they have the same number of electrons as the nearest noble gas atom. Thus, magnesium loses two electrons and becomes Mg2+, which has the same number of electrons as an atom of neon. Selenium gains two electrons and becomes Se2, which has the same number of electrons as krypton. We shall discover the origin of this rule in Section 2.3. 

The periodic trends in main-group elements become apparent when we compare the binary compounds they form with one specific element. All the main-group elements, with the exception of the noble gases and, possibly, indium and thallium, form binary compounds with hydrogen, so these hydrides can be examined to look for periodic trends. We meet the binary hydrides several times in this chapter and the next, so, at this stage, we confine the discussion to a brief survey and see how their properties reveal periodic behavior. 

Group 8A—Noble gases Helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and radon (Rn) are gases of very low reactivity. Helium, neon, and argon don t combine with any other element krypton and xenon combine with very few. 

Group 8A (noble gas) elements are essentially inert they rarely gain or lose electrons. 

Group 8A elements (noble gases), such as neon, rarely form covalent bonds because they already have valence-shell octets.

In group 18, noble gases become less inert with increasing Z. A relatively high reactivity of element 118 was foreseen by earlier considerations [154,12], Element 118 was predicted to be the most electropositive in the group and to be able to form a 118-C1 bond. 

The crystal structures adopted by the binary carbides and nitrides are similar to those found in noble metals. The resemblance is not coincidental, and has been explained using Engel-Brewer valence bond theory [5]. Briefly, the main group elements C and N increase the metal s effective s-p electron count, so that structures and chemical properties of the early transition metals resemble those of the Group 8 metals. This idea was first introduced by Levy and Boudart [6] who noted that tungsten carbide had platinum-like properties.
