PERIODIC TRENDS

On Tuesday we spent time going over the work sheets, or test review- and here are the answers.

Section 6.3

1. Atomic radii cannot be measured directly because the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus does not have a clearly defined
c. Outer edge

2. Which diagram best represents the group and period trends in atomic radii in the periodic table?
c. diagram c

3. The general trend in the radius of an atom moving down a group is partially accounted for by the
d. Shielding of the outer electrons by inner electrons.

4. A------ is an atom, or bonded group of atoms, that has a positive or negative charge.
b. Ion

5. An atom becomes negatively charged by
a. Gaining an electron

6. Which diagram best represents the relationship between the diameter of a sodium atom and the diameter of a positive sodium ion?
a. Diagram a

7. What is ionization energy?
Energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous form

8. Explain why an atom with a high ionization-energy value is not likely to form a positive ion?
A high ionization-energy value indicates that the atom has a strong hold on it’s electron and is not likely to lost an outer electron and form a positive ion

9. What is the period trend in the first ionization energies? Why?
The 1st ionization energies generally increases as you move left to right across a period. The increased nuclear change of each successive element produces and increased hold on the valence electrons.

10. What is the group trend in the first ionization energies? Why?
The 1st ionization energies generally decrease as you move down a group because atomic size increases down a graph, the valence electrons are far then from the nucleus and there for less strongly attached to the nucleus as a result, less energy is required to remove the valence electron.

11. State the Octet rule.
Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electron to a quire a full set of eight valence electron.

12. What does the electro negativity of an element indicate?
Its atom’s ability to attract electron in a chemical bond
13. What are the period and group trends in electronegativities?
Increases left to right across a period and decreased as you move down a group.

Surprise, Surprise, Missing Scribe

Well since no one scribed for Tuesday and it's Wednesday... I'll scribe for Tuesday and Wednesday...

Well Tuesday was a fairly straightforward day.... I woke up in the morning... Panicked because I had a math test... Found out I did miserable on another math test... Then... Ohh Chemistry..

Well On Tuesday. WE HAD A SUB!!! (I scribe on sub days) <--- Hahaha

Mr. Bennet was his name I think.. He pretty much talked the entire period on the review sheets that we did.. It was like another day in wonderland.. Hah. We finished the Chapter 5 review. Then we went over the Chapter 6 review and then the Chapter 9 review. We went over every question and eventually were let out by the end of class for lunch =)

ON WEDNESDAY!!!

We had a Test.. (And another sub) What fun.. Well to be honest it was pretty straight forward on what we learned this unit. Nothing really surprising. Can't really spoil anything.. sigh..

Tomorrow we start CHEMICAL KINETICS.. Cant wait!!! ( I HOPE YOUR THERE MRS. K)

BTW... SECOND FUNCTION ROCKS MY SOCKS!!!!! <--- Had to say that =)

March 19, 2007

Okay so today in class, we went over a few sheets that were given to us before the weekend. First of all, we went over the Atomic Worksheet: Trends in the Periodic table. We basically just answered the questions, and as for number 1 & 6, we drew it out on the smart board. We also went over the worksheet based on Using the Periodic Table (Chapter 6). And finally, we went over a few of the answers for Electrons in Atoms. We didn't quite finish, but we got up to the fourth page.

But anyway, just a reminder ... there is a test on Wednesday, so get ready and start studying!

Monday, March 19 Notes

Periodic table trends and handout explanation

Sean here sorry for the late post, took me a while to figure out my password, anyway for thoses who missed what was done today we discussed the electronegativity of elements or if you will their ability to attract electrons by way of chemical bonding. I suggest you take out out your table of electronegativity, that would be that sheet package you got earlier in the year. As you can see fluorine has a electronegativity of 4.10 making it the most electronegative element on the table, if you do not see this you might have the wrong sheet. For those who missed today/yesterday's class take out one of the blank periodic tables received today, each element will have a subshell as seen in the electron configuration sheet (the one with the arrows in the boxes) this being said every element in groups I and II will have subshell on the outside with the exception of hydrogen and helium who are labeled as 2S. So if you want you can colour in the S, D,P and F sections, for instance as said before I and II should be labeled as S so fill in those columns along with 3 to 12 as D , 13 to 18 as P and finally the lanthanides and actinides (the bottom ones) as F, the colours you have to use won't matter as long as you can distinguish between them. Now for the second blank sheet you will need to point out a series of things. Now as we move from left to right on the electronegativites table we find that obviously the electronegativity is increasing so on the blank table draw an arrow pointing right and label it as eletronegativity increasing, the eletronegativity also decreases as you go down a group so you can label that. Now we go onto ionization energy AKA the energy needed for a element to take an electron from a gaseous atom. I won't go into a deep discussion about this so remember high ionization energy equal low possibility to form a positive ion and a low one means it will lose its outer electron with ease, so left to right on the table again draw a arrow pointing right and write ionization energy increases, this goes like the electronegativity going down a group, so arrow down ionization decreases. This same increase goes for the negative ions also, so left to right increase in ions you get the point anyhow lastly we go to atomic radius, now what would this be, atomic radius is the distance between the atoms nucleus to its outer most stable orbital. The atomic radius can be found by cutting the distance between the nuclei with the nuclei of a similar atom in half. You might not be able to find the distance of two nuclei yourself, apparently it takes equipment which is just out of the common student's hands to find said distance. Atomic radius is similar to ionic radius in the sense of distance between two things hence the radius part but ionic radius is the distance between cations and anions in crystal ions. Back to the table draw two arrows going down a group, one with atomic radius increasing and ionic radius increasing. Thus the table is pretty much done.

Reminder: test on wednesday
review: Do it, I guarantee it will not bite.
The scriber in line out of a random pick will be ...kayyy, due to user names of course it's random, good luck with the scribe and for those who haven't scribed the wait to be picked is worse than the actual scribe.

My notes of atomic structure

Hi ms K.

i'm very impressive by the ways you taught the electrons configuration through music which's incretible exprience ihave never heard before. what i'm interested to know is that

Electrons configurations

1. show electrons in an element and their energy level and sublevel.

For example Nitrogen (atomic number 7)
1s² 2s² 2p³ the main principle of aufbau in electrons configuration is to fill with the lowest energy state. In order to represent an atom's electron configuration you should consider two convenient methods. one method is known as an orbital diagram. It includes a box for each of the atom's orbitals.An empty box represents an unoccupied orbital, a box containing a single up arrow represents an orbital with one electron, and a box containing both up and down arrows represents a filled orbital.
Reminder: Test on Atomic Structure is Tuesday, March 20.
Reminder: Finish activity sheet-Ch.5 Study Guide for tomorrow
The next scribe will be Sean

Orbital Diagrams/Electron Configurations

in class yesterday we went over the quantum mechanical model. we discused how it is similar and how it is different from the Bohr model. we also went over contributors to the Q.M.M. like G.P Thomson. We corrected the activity sheet on Q.M.M.

we looked at something new about how to do electron configuration, the arrangement of electrons. we looked at the three principles, aufbau principle, Hund's rule and Pauli exclusion principle. Check the handouts for more information on this topic.

Today's Notes

Scribe Post

Yesterday, we were asked to complete two worksheets, that were given by the SUB. The two questions were 1 through 8 on the back of the "The Bohr Model of Hydrogen Atom", and to complete the worksheet called "Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom Worksheet" the answers are in the worksheet with the Smart people on it, but we were not given information about 2 of the Smart people, Wolfgang Pauli and Werner Heisenberg. So i didn't hand in the worksheets, though they were due by the end of the class. So I feel that i should tell the right answers for the 2 Wolfgang Pauli: Only 1 electron in each energy level state is allowed, and Werner Heisenberg: Suggested the dual nature of matter (wave/particle). He placed a fundamental limitation on how precisely we can know both the location and the momentum of any object. Sorry This is late, and Eddie knows he is scribe next anyways.

Atomic Structure

hello...

Note: the atomic emission spectrum of an element is the set of frequencies of the electromagnetic waves emitted by atoms of the element. it is different from visible spectrum because visible spectrum is a continuous range of colours while in atomic emission spectrum consists of several individual lines of colour.Each element's atomic emission spectrum is unique and can be used to determine if that element is part of an unknown compound.

at the beginning of class, we looked at the atomic emission spectrum of the noble gasses. I was having trouble seeing the spectrum and only saw few of them...

starting from left to right...

for hydrogen, I saw red, blue and purple
Argon = red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple
Iodine = red yellow green
Helium = red, orange, yellow, green
for the last two elements we did........i didn't saw any spectrum......hope you got 'em ^_^

after that "mini-light" show, we corrected our homework that was given out last Friday "Atomic Structure Assignment 1"

here are the questions and answers (front side)

1. define the terms wavelenght and frequency.
- wavelenght is the distance between two crest - frequency is the number of cycles that pass a point in 1 second.

2. arrange the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wave lenght: Ultraviolet waves, microwaves, radio waves and X rays.
- X rays, Ultraviolet waves, microwaves and radio waves

3. state which type of electromagnetic energy--ultraviolet light or infrared light--has the a) shorter wave lenght b) higher frequency c) lower energy
- a) ultraviolet light b) ultraviolet light c) infrared light

4. describe the difference between a continuous spectrum and a line spectrum.
- continuous spectrum is a pattern of colours - line spectrum is a pattern of single line

5. hydrogen's emission spectrum has 4 lines on it. what does each line represent?
- it represent an electron falling 1 energy level to the next energy level

6. what is a line spectrum and how is it produced?
- line spectrum = pattern of single line, produced when light consists of only a few distinct wavelengths pass through a spectroscope

7. describe how spectroscopy can be used to identify a gas.
- used to identify ions in a solution, specific ions give off a characteristic colour by passing the light from flam tests.

8. write a paragraph that explains the chemistry behind a fireworks display, include the ground state, excited state, Bohr model of atom, flame test.
- DUE THIS WEDNESDAY!!

(back side)

2. which part of the electromagnetic spectrum do the atomic emission spectra show?
- the visible spectrum

3. would the atomic emission spectrum for each sample change if you repeated the procedure?
- No, because each element has its own atomic emission spectrum and all elements has different spectrum

4. what does each line in an atomic emission spectrum represent?
- it represent the energy of electrons


I choose you....................ALLEN to be the next scribe!

MIssing: Blog for March 06, 2007

Sorry it took so long!
But you know what they say, "It's better late than never."

So, just a recap on March 06, 2007:

The "Oxidation-Reduction Compare and Contrast Frame" sheet and the "Redox Reactions" sheet were corrected and handed back.

Here are the corrections:
"Oxidation-Reduction Compare and Contrast Frame"
Oxidation
Historical Definition:
Any reaction that involved a reactant combining with oxygen was an oxidation reaction.
Example:
Burning substances - oxygen present.
Rusting / Corrosion - oxygen reacts with metal.

Present Definition:
A process by which a substance had given up their electrons.
Example:
Al(s) --------> Al³⁺_(aq) + 3e^-

Mnemonic Device:
O - Oxidation
I - Is
L - Losing
or
L - Losing
E - Electrons
O - Oxidation

When Balancing a Redox Reaction:
One substance is oxidized and it is also the reducing agent.
Its oxidation number increases.

Reduction
Historical Definition:
When oxygen is removed by a compound to produce a metal.
Example:
2Fe₂O₃(s) + 3C(s) ------> 4Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)

Present Definition:
A process in which a substance gains electrons.
Example:
Al³⁺(aq)+ 3e^--------> Al(s)

Mnemonic Device:
R - Reduction
I - Is
G - Gaining
or
G - Gaining
E - Electrons
R - Reduction

When Balancing a Redox Reaction:
One substance is reducedand it is also the oxidizing agent.
It's oxidation number decreases.

"Redox Reactions"
1. Redox reactions are characterized by: d. transfer of electrons.
2. If a calcium atom loses two electron, it becomes: c. oxidized.
3. In a redox reaction, an oxidizing agent is: d. reduced.
4. An oxidation reaction occurs: a. at the same time a reduction reaction occurs.
5. Consider the equation Ca(s) + O₂(g) ------> 2CaO(s). In this reaction, calcium is oxidized because it: c. loses electrons.
6. The number of electron lost by an element when it forms ions is the element's: b. oxidation number.
7. A loss of electrons is: a. oxidation.
8. Redox reactions can involve: d. ions, molecules, or uncharged atoms.

9. - 15. Redox Reactions

Equation:
#16
Oxidized: Cd
Reduced: Ni²⁺
OA: NiO₂
RA: Cd

#17
Oxidized: Fe
Reduced: Cu
OA: SO4
RA: Fe

#18
Oxidized: Sb
Reduced: I
OA: I2
RA: Sb

#19
Oxidized: S
Reduced: O
OA: O2
RA: Cu2S

#20
Oxidized: Pb
Reduced: Pb⁺⁴
OA: PbO₂
RA: Pb

#21
Oxidized: N^-3
Reduced: N⁺⁵
OA: NH4NO3
RA: NH₄NO₃

#22
Oxidized: C
Reduced: Fe
OA: Fe₂O₃
RA: CO

FINALLY!

Ms. Kozoriz had written down steps on "Balancing Redox"

1. Assign oxidation numbers to each element.
2. Identify and write oxidation half reaction and reduction half reaction.
3. Balance in terms of electron numbers and atoms.
4. Add H2O and H to balance acidic reaction.
5. Do a change check for both half reactions.
6. Multiply through so electron number is the same in the reduction and oxidation half reaction.
7. Add both half reactions cancelling electrons and any other substances.
8. Do a final change check!

* Sorry again it took so long but we all know brilliance takes time =P.

Atomic Structure

The test was handed back on Friday. We also started the Atomic Structure Unit; worksheets were handed-out.



Electromagnetic Energy - Light Energy

Light Energy is a form of energy that is transferred by radiation and is thought to move in the forms of waves.

Frequency - cycles per unit in time. (eg. in lightwave - the # of cycles pass a point in one second)



Wavelength is the distance between the crest or troughs. The wavelength of visible light is mostly measured in nanometres.

___________________________________________

Line Spectrum is a spectrum in which energy is concentrated at particular wavelengths; produced by excited atoms and ions as they fall back to a lower energy level.

Continuous Spectrum is when all the wavelengths of lights are represented. Line Spectrum on the other hand, is a distinct of coloured lines rather than a rainbow. In an element, the line spectrum is unique in each ones; no two elements have the same atomic emission spectrum. It's like a fingerprint.

I hope these helped you with the Assignment. =)

Oh yeah. Next Scribe will be Ruschev.

20. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Worksheet

March 7, 2007

Today we went over the oxidation-reduction worksheet which she handed out yesterday for homework. We did these questions on the white board and Ms.K did some on the smart board.

annnnnd tomorrow is our "brief" test...so study, study, study! thats all no notes just the worksheet.

Wed, March 7 Notes

Missing Scribe For Friday March 2 (sorry)

Well, on Friday, we received worksheets. We had an option to either hand it in on Friday or Monday, but now it would be too late. Well the sheet that was handed in was a review, to check if you know what oxidation and reduction was. The other was about Balancing Equations using a different method, if a redox reaction occured. Here is a guide to interpreting that sheet:

Firstly, find the oxidation numbers, but remembering to use the "Rules for Determining Oxidation Numbers."

Lets use Ag₂S + Al -> Al₂S₃ + Ag

Ag: is reduced because it is gaining one electron. +1 to 0 (more negative number)
S: remains the same, so it isn't oxidized.
Al: is oxidized because it is losing three electrons. 0 to +3 (more positive number)

Multiply the subscripts with the number of electrons lost or gained.

Therefore:

Ag₂S: 2(because you have two Ag atoms) X 1 electron (number of electrons that was gained)

Al: 1(because you only have one Al atom) X 3 electrons (number of electrons that was lost)

Now we have to balance. So that we have the same number of electorns gained and lost. We find their lowest common multiple...Hm...2 and 3, 6 goes into both, so lets multiply both to get 6:

Ag₂S: 2 electrons X 3 = 6
S: 3 electrons X 2 = 6

Use what you multipled there as your coeffcients: so 3 for Ag₂S and 2 for S:

3Ag₂S + 2Al -> Al₂S₃ + Ag

Note: Check both sides are balanced, you may need to balance the rest of the equation. For this case, since you have 6Ag on the reactant side, then you need a 6 in front of the Ag in the end product side. That is all.


Therefore, your answer should be:

3Ag₂S + 2Al -> Al₂S₃ + 6Ag

Tuesday, March 6 Notes

Monday, March 5 Notes

Scribe - feb 28

All we did on wednesday was that we went over the "oxidation and Reduction" hand out that Ms K gave us last week. We went over assigning oxidation numbers and then we had time to work on identifying the reducing agents and oxidizing agents.

here's an example:

FeBr₂ + Br₂ ----> FeBr₃

Fe⁺²Br^-1₂ + Br⁰₂ ----> Fe⁺³Br^-1 ₃ ' identifying the oxidation numbers

Fe loses one electron therefore it is oxidized

Br gains one electron therefore being reduced

FeBr is the reducing agent
Br₂ is the oxidizing agent

Tip:

if one has gained an electron then it's reduced
if one has lossed an electron then it is oxidized
an agent is found on the left side of the arrow ( ----> )

remember that our test tube mystery lab is due on monday
