APPENDICES 1 Periodic Table

Unless the bonding about A is of extreme ionic or covalent type, only the total VA is expected to match the empirical valency of an atom as reflected, e.g., in its position in the periodic table (Appendix B). 

With more than 100 elements besides carbon in the periodic table (Appendix 2), you might fear that the number of H chemical shift correlations is endless. However, except for a few specialized applications, the most important heteroatoms to which hydrogen finds itself bonded are oxygen and nitrogen. But before we discuss these two specific cases, here is a useful generalization As the electronegativity (Table 6.1) of X increases, both the acidity and chemical shift of a hydrogen bonded directly to X increase. 

The formula for water, H2O, is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. By looking at the periodic table (Appendix D) you can find the mass of a hydrogen atom as 1 amu, and the mass of an oxygen atom as 16 amu. 

A major difficulty obvious to scientists at that time involved the fact that while it was known from the Periodic Table (Appendix I) that there was space for only 11 elements between lead and uranium, approximately 40 radioelements were known in the decay series from uranium to lead. To add to the confusion was the fact that it was found that in many cases it was not possible to separate some of the radioelements from each other by normal chemical means. For exanq)le, the radioelement RaD was found to be chemically identical to lead. In a similar manner, spectrographic investigations of the radioelem t ionium showed exactly the same spectral lines that had been found previously to be due to the element thorium.

Appendix 1 also shows how the periodic table of the elements (Appendix 5) can be built up from the known rules for filling up the various electron energy levels. The Bohr model shows that electrons can only occupy orbitals whose energy is fixed (quantized), and that each atom is characterized by a particular set of energy levels. These energy levels differ in detail between atoms of... 

This experiment established the nuclear model of the atom. A key point derived from this is that the electrons circling the nucleus are in fixed stable orbits, just like the planets around the sun. Furthermore, each orbital or shell contains a fixed number of electrons additional electrons are added to the next stable orbital above that which is full. This stable orbital model is a departure from classical electromagnetic theory (which predicts unstable orbitals, in which the electrons spiral into the nucleus and are destroyed), and can only be explained by quantum theory. The fixed numbers for each orbital were determined to be two in the first level, eight in the second level, eight in the third level (but extendible to 18) and so on. Using this simple model, chemists derived the systematic structure of the Periodic Table (see Appendix 5), and began to... 

Figure 10.6 The modern extended periodic table, showing the older (Roman) and modern (numerical) labeling for the groups. Elements heavier than lawrencium (Z= 103) have been omitted, since they have no naturally occurring isotopes, and the s-, p- and -blocks have been separated for clarity. Further details of the elements can be found in Appendix VI.

The Roman numeral suffix is part of the name of the metal. Thus iron(III) is one word. Stock notation should be used for all metals that have a variable valence. This includes almost all the transition elements and the elements immediately around lead on the periodic table. Stock notation is often omitted for Zn, Cd, and Ag, as they do not have variable valence. The valences of some common metals and acids are listed in Appendix C. 

For each of the elements below, use the aufbau principle to write the full and condensed electron configurations and draw partial orbital diagrams for the valence electrons of their atoms. You may consult the periodic table in Appendix C, or any other periodic table that omits electron configurations. 

The values for ionization energy in the periodic table in Appendix C are first ionization energies. Construct a bar graph to show the relative sizes of lEi values for the main group elements. If available, use spreadsheet software to plot and render your graph. 

Copy the following bond pairs into your notebook. Use the electronegativity values in the periodic table in Appendix E to indicate the polarity of the bond in each case.

The molar masses of elements are determined by using mass spectrometry to measure the masses of the individual isotopes and their abundances. The mass per mole of atoms is the mass of an individual atom multiplied by the Avogadro constant (the number of atoms per mole). However, there is a complication. Most elements occur in nature as a mixture of isotopes we saw in Section B, for instance, that neon occurs as three isotopes, each with a different mass. In chemistry, we almost always deal with natural samples of elements, which have the natural abundance of isotopes. So, we need the average molar mass, the molar mass calculated by taking into account the masses of the isotopes and their relative abundances in typical samples. All molar masses quoted in this text refer to these average values. Their values are given in Appendix 2D. They are also included in the periodic table inside the front cover and in the alphabetical list of elements inside the back cover. 

Table 12.1 gives a selection of standard potentials (at 25°C) a longer list can be found in Appendix 2B. Standard potentials of elements vary in a complicated way through the periodic table (Fig. 12.10). However, the most negative—the most electron-pushing species—are usually found... 

You can find the updated Mendeleev s periodic table of in Appendix D. 

Reading the periodic table takes a little practice. To begin with, each element has its own box with two key numbers. The atomic number of the element, or the number of protons its atoms contain, is at the top of the box. (See the table in the Appendix on pages 92-93.) Below the atomic number is the element s symbol letter or letters. The elements name is printed below the symbol, and underneath the name is the atomic weight. Element boxes on some periodic tables may include only the element symbol and atomic number.
