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 for p and d orbital, radial wave functions

Radial probability distribution for p and d orbital Radial and Angular wave function:  the radial part of wave function depends upon quantum no.  n and  l  and gives the distribution of electron w. r. t distance .it is governed mainly exponential term     e^-Zr/na°(a not)   here  e   based on natural log.  Z   Atomic number r     distance from nucleus  n    principal quantum no. or radial quantum           no.  a°    0.529A° for hydrogen  ( Bohr radii)  the exact mathematical expression for radial part of wave function for 1s or 2s and 2p orbitals. n= 1 ,l=0 s orbital    R(r) =2× (z/a°) ^3/2 ×(2-zr/a°) ×e^-zr/2a° n= 2 ,l=0 2s orbital    R(r) = (z/a°) ^3/2 ×(2-zr/a°) ×e^-zr/2a° n= 2 ,l=1 2p orbital    R(r) = 1√3×(z/2a°) ^3/2 ×(zr/a°) ×e^-zr/2a ° the radial wave function can be represented by plotting radial function R(r)  apart distance(r)

Physical significance of sie and sie^2

Physical significance of sie and sie^2  The wave function sie has no physical significance,  it simply represents amplitude of wave   while square of amplitude sie^2 represent intensity of electron.  i. e sie ^2 gives probability of finding the electron in space .p the space is called atomic orbital  A zero value of sie^2 means probability of finding the electron is zero and high value of sie^2 means greater chances of finding the electron .  the value of sie^2 lies between 0&1. if sie^2 =1   100℅  sie^2=0    0℅

Linear combination of atomic orbital, Molecular orbital theory, Difference between bonding & anti bonding moleculer orbital.

Linea combination of atomic orbital  molecular orbital are formed by combination of atomic orbital  if ꌏ(A)  andꌏ(B)  are the wave function of atomic orbital of two combining atomic A and B  then according  to Linea combination of atomic orbital, these two wave function can be added or can be substracted .that means there are two modes of interaction (symmetric and antisymmetric)  We know ꌏ(s)  = ꌏ(A) +ꌏ(B)  ꌏ(a) = ꌏ(A)- ꌏ(B) ꌏ(s)  and ꌏ(a)  represent wave function of bonding and antibonding moleculer orbital. the formation of moleculer orbital ꌏ(s)  and ꌏ(a)  from two atomic orbital ꌏ(A) and ꌏ(B)  is represented as Molecular orbital theory (MO)  theory: main points of mo theory are: 1.whwn atomic orbital combine they formed molecular orbital. 2.Number of molecular orbital formed is equal to number of atomic orbital combine. 3.atomic orbital are uninuclear  while molecular orbital  are polynuclear. 4.The various molecular orbital are arranged in order of in increas
