The general group trends, and a comparison with the chemistry of the metallic elements of Group 13 (Al, Ga, In and Tl), will be deferred until the next chapter.

The series M(PP)C1 (PP = 2,ll-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)benzo[c]-phenanthrene M = Cu, Ag, Au) is interesting in showing group trends (Table 4.7) where the silver and copper complexes have trigonal coordination and the gold member is linear [50]. 

Since the decomposition of the Meisenheimer intermediate is not the ratedetermining step, the trends for the leaving groups are quite different from common nucleophilic substitution. The leaving group trends for SnAt substitutions were reported to have the following order F > N02 > SOPh > Cl > Br I > OAr > OR > SR52 53. 

In their electrochemical surface properties, a number of metals (lead, tin, cadmium, and others) resemble mercury, whereas other metals of the platinum group resemble platinum itself. Within each of these groups, trends in the behavior observed coincide qualitatively, sometimes even semiquantitatively. Some of the differences between mercury and other. y- or p-metals are due to their solid state. Among the platinum group metals, palladium is exceptional, since strong bulk absorption of hydrogen is observed here in addition to surface adsorption, an effect that makes it difficult to study the surface itself. 

Analyzing Information Are there any groups that are an exception to the group trends identified in question 2 Describe possible reasons for these exceptions. 

As shown in Table 4.55, this quantity increases going down the periodic column in each group, a trend that is known to hold generally throughout the d-block elements. This d-block trend is in contrast to the corresponding main-group trend for bond strengths to diminish down a periodic column. 

Research one of the most recently discovered elements. New elements are created in particle accelerators and tend to be very unstable. Because of this, many of the properties of a new element cannot be determined. Using periodic group trends in melting and boiling point, predict whether the new element you selected is likely to be a solid, liquid, or gas. 

The group trend for boiling point is the same as the trend for atomic radius. For the compounds formed between hydrogen and the first three elements of group 16 (VIA), H2S has a lower boiling point than both H2O and H2Se.

Relativistic effects increase the building energies of the electrons and so they contribute to the irregularities in group trends and make appreciable contribution to high I.E. and hence chemical inertness of some heavy element (e.g. Gold and mercury).
