Ionic radii atomic number

Irving-Williams series when the strength of metal-binding constants is largely a function of ionic radius, atomic number, and valence.

The data in Table 7.1 show that, as expected, density, ionic radius, and atomic radius increase with increasing atomic number. However, we should also note the marked differences in m.p. and liquid range of boron compared with the other Group III elements here we have the first indication of the very large difference in properties between boron and the other elements in the group. Boron is in fact a non-metal, whilst the remaining elements are metals with closely related properties. 

The reason why lanthanides of high atomic number emerge first is that the stability of a lanthanide ion-citrate ion complex increases with the atomic number. Since these complexes are formed by ions, this must mean that the ion-ligand attraction also increases with atomic number, i.e. that the ionic radius decreases (inverse square law). It is a characteristic of the lanthanides that the ionic radius...

Most lanthanide compounds are sparingly soluble. Among those that are analytically important are the hydroxides, oxides, fluorides, oxalates, phosphates, complex cyanides, 8-hydroxyquinolates, and cup-ferrates. The solubility of the lanthanide hydroxides, their solubility products, and the pH at which they precipitate, are given in Table 2. As the atomic number increases (and ionic radius decreases), the lanthanide hydroxides become progressively less soluble and precipitate from more acidic solutions. The most common water-soluble salts are the lanthanide chlorides, nitrates, acetates, and sulfates. The solubilities of some of the chlorides and sulfates are also given in Table 2. 

The increase in i>p 0 is due to a progressive increase in the coupling of M-0 and P-0 vibrations with an increasing atomic number of the lanthanide ion. Similarly, McRae and Karraker (201) have found that the Pp 0 increases with decreasing ionic radius in the complexes of TPP with lanthanide nitrates. This trend has, however, been explained by them in terms of relative influence of attractive and repulsive forces in these complexes. As the size of the lanthanide ion decreases, the repulsive forces in-...

As early as 1920 s Goldschmidt, Pauling and Zachariasen (5—7) observed the additivity of atomic and ionic radii to reproduce the interatomic distances very closely. However, the early lists of ionic radii were based on a cation coordination number of six and a fixed value for the ionic radius of either O - or F. Goldschmidt was first to notice that the radii varied with CN. 

This Group IIA (or Group 2) element (atomic symbol, Ca atomic number, 20 atomic weight, 40.078 electronic configuration = ls 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s ) loses both As electrons to form a divalent cation of 0.99A ionic radius. Ionic calcium combines readily with oxygen ligands (chiefly water, phosphates, polyphosphates, and carbox-ylates) to form stable metal ion complexes. Ca under-... 

For ions of the same charge, the ionic radius increases as you go down any column because the elements of higher atomic number have a greater number of electrons in a series of electronic shells progressively farther from the nucleus. The change in ionic size along a row in the chart just above shows the effect of attraction by protons in the nucleus.
