Third row elements

The Extended Iliickel method also allows the inclusion ofd orbitals for third row elements (specifically, Si. P, Sand CD in the basis set. Since there arc more atomic orbitals, choosing this option resn Its in a Ion ger calc ii 1 at ion. Th e m ajor reason to in cin de d orbitals is to improve the description of the molecular system. 

Third row elements such as sulfur can expand their va lence shell beyond eight electrons and so sulfur-oxygen bonds in sulfoxides and sulfones are sometimes represented as double bonds... 

Thioesters Like chlorine sulfur is a third row element with limited ability to donate a pair of 3p electrons into the carbonyl tt system With an electronegativ ity that IS much less than Cl or O however its destabilizing effect on the carbonyl group IS slight and thioesters he m the middle of the group of carboxylic acid derivatives m respect to reactivity... 

The i5p-titanium(IV) atom is hard, ie, not very polarizable, and can be expected to form its most stable complexes with hard ligands, eg, fluoride, chloride, oxygen, and nitrogen. Soft or relatively polarizable ligands containing second- and third-row elements or multiple bonds should give less stable complexes. The stabihty depends on the coordination number of titanium, on whether the ligand is mono- or polydentate, and on the mechanism of the reaction used to measure stabihty. 

All the third-row elements have a neon core containing ten electrons The ele-...

The simple trend in the formulas shown by the third-row elements demonstrates the importance of the inert gas electron populations. The usefulness of the regularities is evident. Merely from the positions of two atoms in the periodic table, it is possible to predict the most likely empirical and molecular formulas. In Chapters 16 and 17 we shall see that the properties of a substance can often be predicted from its molecular formula. Thus, we shall use the periodic table continuously throughout the course as an aid in correlating and in predicting the properties of substances. 

In Chapter 6 we saw that the chemical compounds of the third-row elements display a remarkable regularity. Return to Chapter 6 and reread Section 6-6.2. The same simple trend in chemical formulas is discovered in the second row of the periodic table. Now we have a basis for explaining why these trends are found. 

As we saw in Chapter 19, chlorine represents the other extreme in chemical reactivity. Its most obvious chemical characteristic is its ability to acquire electrons to form negative chloride ions, and, in the process, to oxidize some other substance. Since the tendency to lose or gain electrons is a result of the details of the electronic structure of the atom, let us try to explain the chemistry of the third-row elements on this basis. 

Here M might be any of the third-row elements. Compounds of this structure may, of course, act as bases by releasing hydroxide ions, breaking the M—OH bond. The hydroxide ion, then, can accept a proton from an acid HZ ... 

Let us apply these ideas to the third-row elements. On the left side of the table we have the metallic reducing agents sodium and magnesium, which we already know have small affinity for electrons, since they have low ionization energies and are readily oxidized. It is not surprising, then, that the hydroxides of these elements, NaOH and Mg(OH)z, are solid ionic compounds made up of hydroxide ions and metal ions. Sodium hydroxide is very soluble in water and its solutions are alkaline due to the presence of the OH- ion. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base. Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2, is not very soluble in water, but it does dissolve in acid solutions because of the reaction... 

Except for argon, the third-row elements make up an important fraction (about 30%) of the earth s crust. Silicon and aluminum are the second and third most abundant elements (oxygen is the most abundant). Both the occurrence and the mode of preparation of each element can be understood in terms of trends in chemistry discussed earlier in this chapter. 

Trends in the properties of AH of vaporization and boiling point for the second- and third-row elements are compared in Table 20-V.

Earlier, Ahland and coworkers56 noticed that metal and metallic salts which form complexes with Lewis bases can be divided into two classes, namely one which interacts mostly with the donors bearing a first row element as a center and a second which coordinates preferentially with those of second and third row elements. 

According to Anh s theory, the cyclopentadienes having snbstitutents of second and third row elements such as SR and SeR at the 5-positions are expected to react with syn n facial selectivity since the stabilization dne to n-jt interaction in such systems is larger than 1. The observation contradicted the prediction [3,4,7]. We and Ohwada...
