Periodicity, ionization energies

Related to ionization energy periodic trends follow those of ionization energy. 

For elements, both electron affinity and -> ionization energy periodically change with atomic number. The ionization energy is usually easier to measure than the electron affinity. Therefore, numerical values of Eea are determined by measuring AionH (X ).

Information on ionization energies, solubiUties, diffusion coefficients, and soHd—Hquid distribution coefficients is available for many impurities from nearly all columns of the Periodic Table (86). Extrinsic Ge and Si have been used almost exclusively for infrared detector appHcations. Of the impurities,... 

The stability of the electronic configuration is indicated by the fact that each element has the highest ionization energy in its period, though the value decreases down the group as a result of increasing size of the atoms. For the heavier elements is it actually smaller than for first-row elements such as O and F with consequences for the chemical reactivities of the noble gases which will be considered in the next section. Nuclear properties, particularly for xenon, have been exploited for nmr spectroscopy and Mdssbauer... 

The electron configuration or orbital diagram of an atom of an element can be deduced from its position in the periodic table. Beyond that, position in the table can be used to predict (Section 6.8) the relative sizes of atoms and ions (atomic radius, ionic radius) and the relative tendencies of atoms to give up or acquire electrons (ionization energy, electronegativity). 

In this section we will consider how the periodic table can be used to correlate properties on an atomic scale. In particular, we will see how atomic radius, ionic radius, ionization energy, and electronegativity vary horizontally and vertically in the periodic table. 

Identify periodic trends in radii, ionization energy, and electronegativity. 

Consider the fluorides of the second-row elements. There is a continuous change in ionic character of the bonds fluorine forms with the elements F, O, N, C, B, Be, and Li. The ionic character increases as the difference in ionization energies increases (see Table 16-11). This ionic character results in an electric dipole in each bond. The molecular dipole will be determined by the sum of the dipoles of all of the bonds, taking into account the geometry of the molecule. Since the properties of the molecule are strongly influenced by the molecular dipole, we shall investigate how it is determined by the molecular architecture and the ionic character of the individual bonds. For this study we shall begin at the left side of the periodic table. 

The location of the metals in the periodic table is shown in Figure 17-4. We see that the metals are located on the left side of the table, while the nonmetals are exclusively in the upper right corner. Furthermore, the elements on the left side of the table have relatively low ionization energies. We shall see that the low ionization energies of the metallic elements aid in explaining many of the features of metallic behavior. 

From Exercise 21-4 we see that the decreasing ionization energies observed for the alkaline earth atoms are readily explained in terms of their increasing size moving down in the periodic table. Notice that the ionization energy trend going down in the periodic table is the same as the trend going to the left in the periodic table.
