Division of periodic table into blocks

Division of periodic table into blocks

periodic table has been classified into 4 blocks

S block    P block   d block    f block

The division depends upon the type of atomic orbital .which receive the valence electron.

for eg.  Mg the valence electron enter the s orbital .so Mg belongs to s block.

S block : it is present in the L. H. S of the periodic table .in all these elements the valence electron  enter the s- orbital.  so they are called   s block  elements.  so s block consistint of 2 groups

group (1) elements are called alkali metals
                for eg. Li, Na

group (2) elements which soluble in water                           than formed hydroxide and form                            alkali.  for eg.  berillium, magnesium                   etc

Electronic configurations of s block elements 
    (ns^1-2) 

P block:  it is present in the R. H. S  of the  periodic table.  in all these elements the valence electron enter p orbital. so they are called p block elements .

group 13 - 18 consisting p orbital

General electronic configuration of p block elements:  ns^2  np^1-6


d block:  it is present in the middle of periodic table .in all these elements the valence electron enter in the d orbital of plantivalent shell (n-1) 

group 3-12 consisting d block elements are also called transition elements because they show transistion I property from highly +ve electron of s block to least + ve electron of p block elements. 

general electronic configuration of d block elements ns^1-2 (n-1) d^1-10.

coinage metals cu, Ag, Au. 

zn, CD, Ag not transistion element because not completely filled d subshell. 

F block:  It is present at the bottom of periodic table. In all these elements the valence electron enter the f orbital of antiplantivalet shell (n-2). 

f block elements are also called inner transistion element because they consist series with in transistion series f block consists two inner transistion series  called lanthanoids and Actinoids. 


the elements Ce-Lu which follow lanthanum are called lanthanoids

the elements Th-Lr which follow Actinum are called Actinoids. 

the elements  which follow uranium are called
Uranide 
eg.  thorium. 

general electronic configuration of f block elements ns^2 (n-1) d^0-1 (n-2) f^1-14.

Radial probability distribution curves

Radial probhjjhajajbability distribution curves:  The probability of finding the electron is given by the quantity  sie^2.By radial probability us probability of finding the electron within small Radial space around the nucleus. volume of spherical shell between radius r and r+dr =4πr^2 and probability of finding the electron will be 4πr^2dr sie^2. radial probability distribution curves are obtained by plotting radial probability at various distance from the nucleus . 1.Radial probability distribution curves for S orbital n=1, l= 0. distance from nucleus here A° is called angstrom. the probability of finding of electron in a shell is maximum at distance r=r° (r not)  which is 0.529 A° for H atom. diagram shows that probability plot for 2s has(two region of high probability)  or (two peaks)  separated by node. we conclude that  no.  of high probability region in S orbital = n no.  of node = ( n-1)

Electronegativity scales and disadvantage of scales and its nunericals

Electronegativity scales: 1.Pauling scale of electronegativity: in diatomic molecule (A-B) ,the bond formed between two atoms A and  B will be intermediate between  pure Covalent (A-B)  and pure ionic character,  the bond between A and B will be  strong than bond energy increased. if bond (A-B) has been purily covalent than bond energy can be calculated as average bond energy of bond (A-A)  and bond (B-B).     that means it is equal to bond energy of bond (A-B) E(A-B)  = 1/2[ E(A-A) +E(B-B) ] however experiemental value of bond (A-B)  more than this value  because of difference in electronegativity  of A and B the difference ∆ is given by simple expression ∆ = E(A-B) - 1/2 [E(A-A) +E(B-B) ] where E(A-B)  is experimental value of bond energy. if Ҳ(A)  and  Ҳ(B) are the electronegative of elements A and B than Ҳ(A) - Ҳ(B) = 0.18√∆ for numerical ∆ = E(A-B)  -[√(E(A-A) ×E(B-B) )] Disadvan...
