The paper resulted from an invitation to contribute to what eventually became a three-volume dedication to the memory of Lowdin. In addition to addressing the question of whether the n + rule has been derived, I used this opportunity to explore the reduction of the periodic table in more general terms. 

The relatively bulky tetraoctylammonium halides act as powerful protective agents and stabilizers for particles consisting of one or more transition metals of the groups 6-11 of the periodic table [62,172,184]. In this special case, the stabilizing cation [NR4] is combined with the reductant [BetsH]" in the same molecule the surface-active protective agent [NR4] [X] species is formed at the reduction centre itself in high local concentration (see Equation (2)). 

In Sec. 13.2 we will learn to determine oxidation numbers from the formulas of compounds and ions. We will learn how to assign oxidation numbers from electron dot diagrams and more quickly from a short set of rules. We use these oxidation numbers for naming the compounds or ions (Chap. 6 and Sec. 13.4) and to balance equations for oxidation-reduction reactions (Sec. 13.5). In Sec. 13.3 we will learn to predict oxidation numbers for the elements from their positions in the periodic table in order to be able to predict formulas for their compounds and ions. 

Metals are located at the left side of the periodic table and therefore, in comparison with nonmetals, have (a) fewer outer shell electrons, (b) lower electronegativities, (c) more negative standard reduction potentials and (d) less endothermic ionization energies. 

Periodic table, a table of standard reduction potentials, and a table containing various equations and constants are provided.

The metallic properties increase down any column and towards the left in any row on the periodic table. One important metallic property is that metal oxides are base anhydrides. A base anhydride will produce a base in water. These are not oxidation-reduction reactions. Many metal oxides are too insoluble for them to produce any significant amount of base. However, most metal oxides, even those that are not soluble in water, will behave as bases to acids. A few metal oxides, and their hydroxides, are amphoteric. Amphoteric means they may behave either as a base or as an acid. Amphoterism is important for aluminum, beryllium, and zinc. Complications occur whenever the oxidation number of the metal exceeds +4 as in the oxides that tend to be acidic. 

Chemically, nonmetals are usually the opposite of metals. The nonmetallic nature will increase towards the top of any column and toward the right in any row on the periodic table. Most nonmetal oxides are acid anhydrides. When added to water, they will form acids. A few nonmetals oxides, most notably CO and NO, do not react. Nonmetal oxides that do not react are neutral oxides. The reaction of a nonmetal oxide with water is not an oxidation-reduction reaction. The acid that forms will have the nonmetal in the same oxidation state as in the reacting oxide. The main exception to this is N02, which undergoes an oxidation-reduction (disproportionation) reaction to produce HN03 and NO. When a nonmetal can form more than one oxide, the higher the oxidation number of the nonmetal, the stronger the acid it forms. 

The same trends are expected to be found when the atom X is varied along another column of the Periodic Table, i.e. decreasing electronegativity of X along a column should lead to lower ctcx energy. Thus, for example, in the reductive C—X bond cleavage of PhCOCRR XPh, the half wave reduction potential is less for X=S than X=042). Relevant computational results are shown in Table 4. 

For the metal, A increases on descending a column in the periodic table. In addition, CT state energies are affected by the ease ofoxidation/reduction of the ligands and metal ion. For MLCT transitions, more easily reduced ligands and more easily oxidized metals lower the MLCT states. 

Odour was determined in accordance with Standard Methods (A.P.H.A. 80). Table II shows how almost total deodorization is obtained when aera tion treatment is practised. With the other types of treatment, too, there is a reduction in odour, most marked in the second period of tests (Jul.—Oct.), when temperatures are higher. In this period odour reduction is already considerable after 60 days. 

Triphenyl sulphur, selenium and telurium cations are reductively cleaved at less negative potentials, moving down the periodic table (Table 5.4). At the first po-larographic wave, a one-electron process results in the formation of phenyl radicals, probably adsorbed on the mercury surface. Only the reaction of triphenylsul-phonium ions has been studied in detail and the products are diphenylsulphide and diphenylmercury. A second polarographic wave has E/, = -1.33 to -1,39 V vs. see over the range of pH 5 to 12 and reduction at the plateau of this wave gives diphenylsulphide and benzene [53].

Thinking about the position of elements in the periodic table and their valence electron structure should help in understanding the relative order of the reduction potentials. Fluorine gas is very electronegative and readily accepts electrons to obtain a stable configuration. Conversely, alkalines and...
