Group 15 elements table

P group elements. Molecules with p group elements already have been studied with the P3 approximation and they probably will remain inviting objects of study with this method. Errors obtained for the p group elements (Table 5.5) are somewhat larger than those found for organic molecules. Groups VI and VH are especially problematic.

Radon is the heaviest of the hehum-group elements and the heaviest of the normal gaseous elements. It is strongly radioactive. The most common isotope, Rn, has a half-life of 3.825 days (49). Radon s scarcity and radioactivity have severely limited the examination of its physical properties, and the values given ki Table 3 are much more uncertain than are the values Hsted for the other elements. 

For main group elements the number of framework electrons contributed is equal to (t + a — 2) where v is the number of valence shell electrons of that element, and x is the number of electrons from ligands, eg, for Ff, x = and for Lewis bases, x = 2. Examples of 2n + 2 electron count boranes and heteroboranes, and the number of framework electrons contributed by their skeletal atoms, ate given in Table 1. 

By far the most common CN of hydrogen is 1, as in HCl, H2S, PH3, CH4 and most other covalent hydrides and organic compounds. Bridging modes in which the H atom has a higher CN are shown schematically in the next column — in these structures M is typically a transition metal but, particularly in the Mi-tnode and to some extent in the x3-mode, one or more of the M can represent a main-group element such as B, Al C, Si N etc. Typical examples are in Table 3.3. Fuller discussion and references, when appropriate, will be found in later chapters dealing with the individual elements concerned.

The radii of cations and anions derived from atoms of the main-group elements are shown at the bottom of Figure 6.13. The trends referred to previously for atomic radii are dearly visible with ionic radius as well. Notice, for example, that ionic radius increases moving down a group in the periodic table. Moreover the radii of both cations (left) and anions (right) decrease from left to right across a period. 

These structures (without the circles) are referred to as Lewis structures. In writing Lewis structures, only the valence electrons written above are shown, because they are the ones that participate in covalent bonding. For the main-group elements, the only ones dealt with here, the number of valence electrons is equal to the last digit of the group number in the periodic table (Table 7.1). Notice that elements in a given main group all have the same number of valence electrons. This explains why such elements behave similarly when they react to form covalently bonded species.

The periodic table groups elements with similar chemistry. It is of great value just as a correlating device. It is even more powerful when coupled with an understanding of the structure of atoms. So, it is appropriate to consider this topic before examining the relationships that establish the periodic table.

FIGURE 1.50 Hie first ionization energies of the main-group elements, in kilojoules per mole. In general, low values are found at the lower left of the table and high values are found at the upper right. 

The usefulness of the main-group elements in materials is related to their properties, which can be predicted from periodic trends. For example, an s-block element has a low ionization energy, which means that its outermost electrons can easily be lost. An s-block element is therefore likely to be a reactive metal with all the characteristics that the name metal implies (Table 1.4, Fig. 1.60). Because ionization energies are...
