Atomic structure
THE NUCLEAR ATOM
Electron and Nuclei
An atom consists of a very small positively charged nucleus,
surrounded by negative electrons held by electrostatic attraction.
The motion of electrons changes when chemical bonds are
formed, nuclei being unaltered.
Nucleus: positive charge
Electron: negative charge
Electrostatic attractive force: Electrons are attracted to Nucleus.
Electrostatic repulsion force: among the protons.
From planetary model to quantum theory

Nuclear structure
Nuclei contain positive protons and uncharged neutrons. The number of
protons is the atomic number (Z) of an element.
Electrostatic attractive force: Electrons are attracted to Nucleus
The attractive strong interaction between protons and neutrons is
opposed by electrostatic repulsion between protons.
Electrostatic repulsion force: among the protons.
Repulsion dominates as Z increases and there is only a limited
number of stable elements.

Isotopes
Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number but different numbers of neutrons. Many
elements consist naturally of mixtures of isotopes, with very similar chemical properties.
Only one stable isotopes: 9Be, 19F, 23Na, 27Al, 31P, Sc, Mn, etc.
total numbers: 20.
Several stable isotopes:
1H,
Deuterium: 2H, 3H;
Tin (Sn): no fewer than 10.
12C, 13C, 14C;
etc.
Relative atomic mass (RAM) is equal to molar mass of element
RAM of an element:

THE PERIODIC TABLE
The periodic table - with elements arranged horizontally in
periods and vertically in groups according to their chemical
similarity - was developed in an empirical way in the 19th
century. A more rigorous foundation came, first with the use
of spectroscopy to determine atomic number and, second
with the development of the quantum theory of atomic
structure.

B3 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Introduction
Stability and reactivity can be controlled by thermodynamic
factors (depending only on the initial and final states and not
on the reaction pathway) or kinetic ones (very dependent on
the reaction pathway). Both factors depend on the conditions,
and on the possibility of different routes to decomposition or
reaction.
Thermodynamic stable：stable or unstable
Kinetic stable ：reactive or unreactive

Example.: Calculate the standard enthalpy change (rHm) in the

Answer.:
The standard enthalpy of formation (Hf , kJmol-1) of these compound

H2O(l) -285.83 kJmol-1

NO(g) 90.25 kJmol-1
Applying Hess’ law:
rHm = ifHm (product)- ifHm (reactant)
rHm = [ 2  (-173.23) + 90.25] – [3  33.18 + (-285.83)]

Example. In general, the following course was applied in purification of coarse
nickel: first, Ni(CO)4 was synthesized by the reaction of nickel and CO at 323K;
then, decomposition of Ni(CO)4(l) would produce the high-purity nickel.
Ni(s) + 4 CO (g)  Ni(CO)4 (l)
Try to analysis the rationality of this process from these data: rHm0 = -161
kJmol-1, rSm0 = -420 Jmol-1K-1.
Answer. :
Applying rGm= rHm – T rSm, the temperature at equilibrium (rGm) would
be obtained.
rGm (T) = 0  T = rHm / rSm = －161  103 / (－420) = 383 K.
if T < 383 K, rGm < 0, the normal reaction will occur successfully.
If T > 383K, rGm > 0, the reverse reaction will take place.
So, at lower temperature, Ni(CO)4 was synthesized by the reaction of coarse
nickel and CO. And, at higher temperature, the preparation of the high-purity
nickel would be performed by decomposition of Ni(CO)4.

Formal charges are assigned by apportioning bonding electrons equally between
the two atoms involved. They can be useful to rationalize apparent anomalies in
bonding, and to assess the likely stability of a proposed valence structure.

covalent bonds were broken, with the electrons being assigned equally to the atoms
involved.

Section C-1
Some general principles for formal charges are:
(1) Structure without formal charges are preferred if possible;
(2) Structures with formal charges outside the range -1 to ＋1 are generally unfavorable;
(3) Negative formal charges should preferably be assigned to more electronegative atoms,
positive charges to more electropositive atoms.
For example (P44):
CO N2O BF
Formal charge is very different from Oxidation state, which is assigned by apportioning
electrons in a bond to the more electronegative atom rather than equally.
Both are artificial assignments, useful in their respective ways, but neither is intended as a
realistic judgment of the charges on atoms.

Molecular shapes: VSEPR
VSEPR principles
The valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) model is based on the
observation that the geometrical arrangement of bonds around an atom is
influenced by nonbonding e1ectrons present. It is assumed that electronic pairs –
whether bonding or nonbonding - repel each other and adopt a geometrical
arrangement that maximizes the distances between them.
VSEPR principles have widely applied in predicting the possible steric
configuration of covalent molecules for non-transition elements.
————shapes and bond angles of the molecules
INORGANIC
CHEMISTRY
Section C-2
The basic principles of the model are as follows:

geometry that maximizes the distance between them. The basic geometries usually

(2) Nonbonding electron pairs are closer to the central atom than bonding pairs and
have larger repulsions: in fact the order of interaction is:
Nonbonding-nonbonding > nonbonding-bonding > bonding-bonding
(3) If double (or triple) bonds are present the four (or six) electrons involved behave
as if they were a single pair, although they exert more repulsion than do the two
electrons of a single bond.
(4) As the terminal atoms become more electronegative relative to the central one,
bonding electron pairs are drawn away from the central atom and so repel less.
INORGANIC
CHEMISTRY
Section C-2
Using VESEPR
It is first necessary to decide which atoms are bonded together. Drawing a valence
structure gives the total number of electron pairs around an atom, sometimes known as
its steric number. The basic VSEPR geometry is then used to assign positions for
bonding and nonbonding e1ectrons.
Step1: Designate the central atom: usually the least electronegative one, which does
not apply to hydrides or organic groups.
Step2: Calculate the steric number (SN) of the central atom, equal to the number of
bonded atoms, plus the number of non-bonding electron pairs.
Step 3: Give the possible steric configuration of the molecules.
Another process to calculate the SN:
the No. of electron pairs in valence shell = the total No. of valence electrons in central
atom + the No. of the electrons bonded atoms +/- the charge in the ions

Molecular orbitals: Homonuclear diatomics
Bonding and antibonding orbitals
Molecular Orbitals (MOs) are wavefunctions for electrons in molecules.
Molecular Orbitals are formed by linear combination of AOs.---LCAO approximation.
LCAO: linear combination of atomic orbitals (原子轨道的线性组合形成分子轨道)
Overlapping atomic orbitals can give bonding and antibonding MOs
1= c11 + c2 2—— bonding MO（成键分子轨道）
2= c11 - c2 2 —— antibonding MO （反键分子轨道）……..Fig 1.
Nonbonding MO(非键分子轨道)：
An electron in the bonding MO has lower energy than in the AO of an isolated atom, as it
has enhanced probability of being close to both nuclei simultaneously.
In an antibonding MO an electron has higher energy, with a reduced probability of being in
the internuclear region, and internuclear repulsion being “deshielded”.

Second period diatomics
In extending the MO theory to second period elements two additional principles
need to be considered.
(1) Only valence-shell are shown in MO diagrams as inner shells are too tightly
bound to be involved in bonding, and don’t overlap significantly.
(2) Both 2s and 2p valence orbitals need to be included.
Two fundamental rules in the LCAO MO model are important:
(1) The number of MOs formed is equal to the total number of starting AOs.
(2) Only AOs of the same symmetry type combine to make MOs.

Molecular orbitals: Heteronuclear diatomics
Basic principles
Orbitals from atoms of different elements overlap to give unsymmetrical MOs,
the bonding MO being more concentrated on the more electronegative atom.
The greater the electronegativity difference, the greater the degree of
localization.
The basic principle of forming the MO for the heteronulclear diatomics is
similar to that of the homonuclear diatomics.

bonding is present, and when there is a large electronegativity difference between
the two elements.
Some important trends are summarized below:
(1) Bond energies often become smaller on descending a main group. This is
expected as electrons in the overlap regions of a bond are less strongly attracted to
larger atoms.
(2) Bond energies increase with bond order, although the extent to which B(A=B)
is larger than B(A-B) depends greatly on A and B, the largest differences
occurring with elements from the set C，N，O。 Strong multiple bonding
involving these elements may be attributed to the very efficient overlap of 2p 
orbitals compared with that of larger orbitals in low orbitals.
(3) In compounds ABn, with the same elements but different n values, B(A-B)
decreases as n increases. The differences are generally less for larger A, more
electronegative B.
INORGANIC
CHEMISTRY
Section C-7
(4) Bonds are stronger between elements with a large electronegativity
difference.
(5) Single A-B bonds where A and B are both from the set N, O, F are weaker than
expected from group comparisons. This is often attributed to a repulsion between
nonbonding electrons.
(6) Other expectations to rule (1) above occur with A-O and A-X (halogen) bonds,
which generally increase in strength between periods 2 and 3.
This may be partly due to the increased electronegativity difference when A is
period 3, but repulsion between lone-pairs electrons on nonbonded atoms may also
play a role.

Lewis acids and bases
Definition and scope
A Lewis acid (or acceptor) is any species capable of accepting a pair of electrons.
for examples: H+, and metal cations, molecules such as BF3 with incomplete octets,
and ones such as SiF4 where octet expansion is possible.
A Lewis base (or donor) is any species with a pair of non-bonding electrons available
for donation.
for examples: the molecules such as NH3, and anions such as F-.

Brǿnsted bases are also Lewis bases, and H+ is a Lewis acid, but Bronsted acids such as

Modeles of interaction
Interaction between the orbitals in Fig.1 will be strongest when the energy difference
between the acceptor LUMO and the donor HOMO is least. In this model the best
acceptors will have empty orbitals at low energies, the best donors filled orbitals at high
energies. By contrast, the strongest electrostatic interactions with take place between the
smallest and most highly charged (positive) acceptor, and (negative) donor atoms.

Hard-soft classification
(HSAB classification)
Hard donors interact more strongly with hard acceptors, soft donors with soft
acceptors (硬亲硬，软亲软，软和硬的反应不容易发生 ).
Hard acids tend to be more electropositive, and harder bases more electronegative.
Softer donor and acceptor atoms tend to be larger and more polarizable.
INORGANIC
CHEMISTRY
Hard-soft classification
Section C-8
It is found that the relative strength of donors depends on the nature of the acceptor and
vice versa. The hard and soft acid-base (HSAB)classification is often used to rationalize
some of the differences. When two acids (A1 and A2) and in competition for two bases
(B1 and B2) the equilibrium.
A1:B1 + A2:B2
Al:B2 + A2:B1
will lie in the direction where the harder of the two acids is in combination with the
harder base, and the softer acid with the softer base. As a standard for comparison the
prototype hard acid H+ and soft acid [(CH,)Hg]+ are often used. Thus the equilibrium
[B:H]+ + [(CH,)Hg]+ H+ + [(CH,)Hg:B]+
will lie to the left or right according to the degree of hardness of the base B.
Examples of hard acids are H+, cations of very electropositve metals such as Mg2+,
and nonmetal fluorides such as BF3.
Soft acids include cations of late transition and post-transition metal such as Cu+,
Pd2+ and Hg2+.
The hardness of bases increase with the number of the donor atom (e.g. NH3 < H2O
< F-) and decreases down any group (e.g. NH3 > PH3, and F- > Cl- > Br- > l- ).

A crystalline solid is characterized by a unit cell containing an arrangement of atoms
repeated indefinitely. Long-range order: in crystal

a unit cell are different. ------X-ray structure analysis method or X-ray diffraction

To specify the complete structure of a crystalline solid it is only necessary to
show one unit cell, but interpreting these Pictures requires practice.

relatively weak intermolecular forces; ——low melting point, low boiling
point, low rigidity, insulator, etc
2) Metallic Solids (金属晶体) have atoms with high coordination numbers,
bound by delocalized electrons that give metallic conduction;－－thermal and
electrical conduction.
3) Covalent or polymeric solids (原子晶体) have atoms bound by directional
covalent bonds giving relatively low coordination numbers in a continuous
one- or two- three- dimensional network;—— high rigidity, high m.p. and b.p.,
insulators, etc
4) Ionic Solids (离子晶体) are bound by electrostatic attraction between anions
and cations with structures where every anions is surrounded by cations and

Ionic Radii
Ionic radii（离子半径） are derived from a somewhat arbitrary division of the

Sets of ionic radii are all based ultimately on somewhat arbitrary assumptions.
Four kinds of ionic radius:
(a) Goldschmidt ionic radius: standard: O2-: 132pm. F-: 133 pm
(b) Pauling ionic radius: standard: O2-: 140pm. F-: 136 pm
(c) Shannon and Prewitt ionic radius, based on the assumed radius of 140 pm
for O2- in six coordination. （有效离子半径）
(d) Yatsmirskii ionic radius: (热化学离子半径)
Any consistent set of radii should be able to give estimates of the total anion-cation
distance and hence the unit cell dimensions if the structures is known.
It is essential not to mix values from different sets.
Although the values may differ, all sets show the same trends.

Ion Polarizability
Polarizabilty of the ion: refers to the ability of an applied electric field to
distort the electron cloud and so induce an electric dipole moment.
The most polarizable ions are large ones, especially anions from later
periods （S2－， I－， Br－）.
In layer and chain structure, the anions are generally in asymmetric
environments and experiences a strong net electric field from neighboring
ions. Polarization lowers the energy of an ion in this situation , giving a
stabilizing effect not possible when the coordination is symmerical.
Layer structures occur frequently with disulfides and dichlorides (and with
heavier anions lower in the same groups), but almost never with difluorides and
dioxides:
TiO2 and FeF2; TiS2 and FeI2.

Covalent bonding
Purely electronstatics forces between ions are nondirectional, but with

(ii) Stabilization of high and low oxidation states
When an element has variable oxidation states, it is often found that the highest value
is obtained with oxide and/or fluoride. The ionic model again suggests that a balance
between IE and lattice energy is important.
Small and/or highly charged ions provide the highest lattice energies according to
equation 1. and increase in lattice energy with higher oxidation state is more likely to
compensate for the high IE.
A large ion with low charge such as I- is more likely stabilize a low oxidation state,
as the smaller lattice energy may no longer compensate for high IE input.

(a) Large cations stabilize large anions.
(b) Oxoanions salts such as carbonates are harder to decompose thermally when

large ion and a small one.
A satisfactory explanation depends on a balance of energies.

The band model (能带模型)
The band model: an extension of the molecular orbital method
The overlap of atomic orbitals in an extended solid gives rise to continuous bands
of electronic energy levels associated with different degrees of bonding. In a
simple monatomic solid the bottom of the band is made up of orbitals bonding
between all neighboring atoms; orbitals at the top of the band are antibonding, and
levels in the middle have an intermediate bonding character.
Metallic and nonmetallic behavior results from a band partially occupied by
electrons, so that there is no energy gap between the top filled level and the lowest
empty one.
On the other hand, a nonmetallic solid has bandgap between a completely filled
band (the valence band) and a completely empty one (the conduction band)
So, different atomic orbitals can, in principle, give rise to different bands.

Nonmetallic solids include ionic and covalent compounds.
In the former case, the VB is made up of the top filled anion levels and the CB
of the lowest empty cation levels.
In covalent solids, such as diamond the VB consists of bonding orbitals and
the CB of antibonding orbitals.
Simple metallic solids are elements or alloys with close-packed structures
where the large number of interatomic overlaps gives rise to wide bands with
no gaps between levels from different atomic orbitals.
INORGANIC
CHEMISTRY
Section D-7
Band gaps
Band edges determine the optical absorption of nonmetallic solid and the possibility of
semiconduction. Band gaps in binary solids decrease with decreasing
electronegativity difference between the elements. In both ionic and covalent solids
bandgaps are smaller with elements in lower periods.
A solid with a small bandgap is a semiconductor with a conductivity that (unlike the
case with a metal) increases as temperature is raised. The bandgap also determines
the minimum photo energy required to excite an electron from the VB to CB,
and hence the thresold for optical absorption by a solid.
In covalent solid the bandgap is related to the energy splitting between bonding and
antibonding ortibals. And thus to the strength of bonding,
In an ionic solid the bandgap is determined by the energy required to transfer an
electron back from the anion to cation, which is related to the lattice energy.
Some systematic trends:
(a) In a series of isoelectronic solids, such as CuBr-ZnSe-GaAs-Ge the bandgap
decrease with decreasing electronegativity difference between the two elements.
(b) In series such as C-Si-Ge- or LiF-NaF-KF the bandgap decreases as the group is
descended and atoms or ions become larger.

Dielectric properties
The dielectric constant of a medium is a measure of the electrostatic polarization, which
reduces the forces between charges.
the static dielectric constant: depend on the displacement of ions from their regular
positions in an applied electric field. It is applicable for static fields, or frequencies of
electromagnetic radiation up into the microwave range.
The high-frequency dielectric constant: is measured at frequencies faster than the vibrational
motion of ions. ----applicable in the visible region of the spectrum and determines the
refractive index(折射率).
——depend on electronic polarizability.

Influence of defects
Defects including impurities have a major influence on the electrical properties of
nonmetallic solids. They can provide extra electrons or holes, which enhance
semiconduction, and they can also facilitate conduction by ions.
All solids contain defects where the regularity of the ideal periodic lattice is broken.
Line and plane defects: for mechanical properties;
Point defects: for electrical properties;
They include
(a) Vacancies or atoms missing from regular lattice positions;
(b) Interstitials or atoms in positions not normally occupied;
(c) Impurities either accidentally present or introduced as deliberate doping.
Defects that introduce extra electrons, or that give missing electrons or “holes”, have a
large influence on electronic conduction in nonmetallic solids.
INORGANIC
CHEMISTRY
Section D-7
Providing the electrons:
N-type semiconductor:
doping Si with P replaces some tetrahedral bonded Si atoms in the diamond
lattice with P. Each replacement provides one extra valence electron, which
requires only a small energy to escape into the CB of silicon.
P-type semiconductor:
replacing an Si atom with Al gives a missing electron of hole.
Other examples:
the slight reduction pf TiO2:
add some electrons---------a n-type semiconductor.
Oxidation of NiO:
decrease some electrons-------a p-type semiconductor
Ionic conduction: atoms in defect sites may themselves be mobile
these would be correlated with the number of defects, and may be especially
large in disordered solids.

Polarity and solvation
A solvent is a liquid medium in which dissolved substances are known as solutes.
application:
(a) storing substances that would otherwise be in inconvenient states (gases, eg. NH3).
(b) facilitating reactions that would otherwise be hard to carry out (solids and liquids).
Important: controlling what substances dissolve easily and what types of reactions
may be performed.
The chemical as well as the physical state of solutes may be altered by interaction
with the solvent.

solvent molecules are ordered round the solute, not only in the primary solvation
sphere but affecting more distant molecules.
(2) That with little or no dipole moments form nonpolar solvents, such as CO2,
hexane, benzene, etc.
they are better at dissolving mompolar molecules and for carrying out reactions
where no ions are involved.
Between nonpolar solvent and solute: Van der Waals’ force
Nonpolar solvent are generally poor solvents for polar molecules.
Nonpolar molecules cannot compete with the strong intermolecular forces in a

Solvent Leveling effect
Because the strong acid completely protolyzed, it is impossible to study this species
itself in water. So the pH value would be the same for the strong acid with the same
concentration and H3O+ is effectively the strongest acid possible there and any
stronger acid is said to be leveled.
Strong base would be leveled in water. HI, HCl, HBr, HNO3, HClO4
Solvent leveling limits the range of acid-base behavior that can be observed in given
solvent, and is one reason for using other solvents with different leveling ranges.
Liquid ammonia is very basic compared with water, and H2SO4 is very acidic.
Differentiating solvent effect

Trend in pK value
(1) AHn compounds, acid strength increases from left to right in the periodic
table, for example, CH4 < NH3 < H2O << HF . This trend is most simply
to related to the electronegativity increase of the element attached to
hydrogen, which gives more bond polarity in the direction A- -H+
(2) Acid strength also increases down the group, HF < HCl < HBr < HI;
because of the deceasing H-X bond strength down the group.

Section E3
Hard and soft behavior
Hard donors interact more strongly with hard acceptors, soft donors with soft acceptors (硬亲
硬，软亲软，软和硬的反应不容易发生 ).
Hard acids tend to be more electropositive, and harder bases more electronegative. Softer
donor and acceptor atoms tend to be larger and more polarizable.
Class A(hard acid): the cations formed metals in early groups in periodic table
Na+, K+, Mg2＋，Al3＋，etc.
Class B(soft acid): some later transition metals and many post-transition metals
Hg2+, Pb2+, Pt2+, Cd2+, etc.
Class b forms strong complexes with ligands such as ammonia.
But， Class a ions don’t complex with such ligands appreciably in water.
Hard cations with low charge/size ratio, such as alkali ions, form very weak complexes with
all ligands, except macrocycles.
Some polyatomic ions such as NO3-, ClO4-, BF4-, PF6-, etc have very low complexing power to
either class a or class b. ---- counterions for studying the thermodynamic properties of metal
ions unaffected by complex formation.

Solubility product Principle (溶度积原理)
It was widely applied to judge the trend and the extent for
forming the precipitation from the mixture solution containing
the Mm+ and Xn－ions.
Firstly, calculate the J value (it is defined to be [Mm+]n[Xn-]m )
from the concentration of ions;
Secondly, compare the relationship between the J value and the
Ksp.
If Ksp < J，the precipitation will be formed in solution and the
equilibrium shifts to the direction of forming the precipitation.
If Ksp > J，the precipitation will be dissolved and the
equilibrium shifts to the direction of dissolving the
precipitation to the solution.
If Ksp = J，the equilibrium keep the balanced states.
the rate of precipitating = the rate of dissolving

Section E4
Problem .: Determine whether a precipitate form in solution or not when Pb2+ solution
(0.100 moldm-3, 100 mL ) is mixed with Cl- (0.30 moldm-3) in 100 mL solution.
(Ksp(PbCl2) = 1.7  10-4 )
Solution.:
Assuming that no precipitate form and the final volume keep to be 200 mL, the lead ion
and chloride ion concentrations would be 0.005 and 0.15 moldm-3, respectively.
PbCl2
Pb2+ + Cl-
 Ksp(PbCl2) = [Pb2+][Cl-]2 = 1.7  10-4
But if there were no precipitation, [Pb2+][Cl-]2 = (0.005)(0.15)2 = 1.1  10-3.
For this product is much greater than the value of Ksp(PbCl2), the concentration of ions
exceed that required for equilibrium, and the precipitation will form in the mixture.

The influence of pH value in solution
Problem .:Whether Mg(OH)2 precipitate or not in a solution containing Mg2+ (0.0010
moldm-3) if the OH- concentration of the solution were altered to be (a) 10-5 moldm3 (b) 10-3 moldm-3 ? (K (Mg(OH) ) = 1.2  10-11)
sp

Answer.:
Ksp = [Mg 2+][OH-]2 = 1.2  10-11
[OH-]2 = 1.2  10-11/ [Mg 2+] = 1.2  10-8  [OH-]sat = 1.1  10-4 moldm-3
(a) [OH-] does not exceed [OH-]sat, so no precipitation will be observed.
(b) [OH-] exceeds [OH-]sat, so Mg(OH)2 will precipitate from the solution.
Application:
The selectivity separation of metal ions in mixture solution would be
successfully finished by controlling the pH value.

Major trends in Water
(i) Soluble salts are more often found when ions are of very different size rather than similar
size.

Cl- & NO3- —— soluble
(b) precipitate a large complex ions, a large cation such as [Bu 4N]+ can be helpful.
(ii) Salts where both ions have multiple charges are less likely to be soluble than ones with
single charges.
CO32- & SO42-, insoluble
(iii) With ions of different charges, especially insoluble compounds result when the lower
charged one is smaller.
M3+ + fluorides and hydroxides: very insoluble
+ heavier halide or nitrates: very soluble.
(iv) Lower solubility result from covalent contributions to the lattice energy.
—— with ions of less electropositive metals in combination with more polarizable cations.
Late transition and post-transition elements + S2- —— insoluble; X- —— insoluble.

In a electrochemical cell, a redox reaction occurs in two halves.
Electrons are liberated by the oxidation half reaction at one electrode and pass through an electrical
circuit to another electrode where they are used for the reduction.
Cell potential: is the potential difference between the two electrodes required to balance the
thermodynamic tendency for reaction, so that the cell is in equilibrium and no electrical current flows.
Go = - nFE = - RT lnK (F---- the Farady constant, 96500 cmol-1, n--- the number of moles
of electrons passed per mole of reaction)

Kinetic limitations
Electrode potentials are thermodynamic quantities and show nothing about
how fast a redox reaction can take place.
Simple electron transfer reactions are expected to be rapid, but redox reactions
where covalent bonds are made or broken may be much slower.
MnO4-/MnO2 + H2O/ O2
Kinetic problems can also affect redox reactions at electrodes when covalent
substances are involved.

Covalent chemistry
(1) Hydrogen and boron stand out in their chemistry.
Hydrogen —— one covalent bond.
Boron —— electron deficiency
(2) In the other elements, valence states depend on the electron configuration and on the
possibility of octet expansion which occurs in period 3 onwards.

Introduction to Non-transition metals
Scope
Non-transition metals includes groups 1 to 2 of the s-block elements, group 12 and pblock elements in lower periods.
(a) Aluminum and the elements of groups 1 and 2 are classed as pre-transition metals,
—— typical metals, very electropositive in character and almost invariably found oxidation
states expected for ions in a noble-gas configuration.
—— found widely in silicate minerals
(b) The remaining ones (metallic elements from periods 4-6 in groups following the
transition series) as post-transition metals.
—— less electropositive than the pre-transition metals and are typically found nature as
sulfides rather than silicates.
in solution, post-transition metals less ionic in character than corresponding compounds of
pre-transition metals; In solution, post-transition metals form stronger complexes than pretransition metals.

Section G
Positive ions
Formation of compounds with positive ions depends on a balance between
ionization energies and lattice or solvation energies. Post-transition metals have
higher ionization energies and are less electropositive than pre-transition metals.
Group trends
Trends down groups 1 and 2 are dominated by increasing ionic size. In later groups
the structural and bonding are less regular and there is an increased tendency to
lower oxidation states, especially in period 6.
Non－cationic chemistry
Many of the elements can form anionic species. Compounds with covalent
bonding are also known: these include organometallic compounds, and
compounds containing metal-metal bonds( especially with post-transition
metals).

Introduction to transition-metals
Scope
Transition elements form groups 3-11 in the d block.
They have distinct chemical characteristic resulting from the progressive filling of the d
shells. These includes the occurrence of variable oxidation states, and compounds with
structures and physical properties resulting from partially filled d orbitals.
Typical transition metal characteristics include:
(a) the possibility of variable oxidation states;
(b) Compounds with spectroscopic, magnetic or structural features resulting from
partially occupied d orbital.
(c) An extensive range of complexes and organometallic compounds including ones with
very low oxidation state (zero or even negative)
(d) Useful catalytic properties shown by metals and by solid or molecular compounds

Section H
Vertical trends
Elements of the 3d series are chemically very different from those in the 4d and 5d series,
showing weaker metallic and covalent bonding, stronger oxidizing properties in high
oxidation states and the occurrence of many more compounds with unpaired electrons.
Horizontal trends
Electropositive character declines towards the right of each series. Elements become less
reactive and their compounds show a tendency towards softer behavior. Later elements in
the 4d and 5d series are relatively more inert.

CHEMISTRY
Section H
Electron configuration
Neutral atoms have both s and d valence electrons, but in chemically important states
are often regarded as having purely d configuration.
In the 3d series most atoms have the configuration (3d)n(4s)2, where n increase from one to
10; chromium and copper are however exceptions with (3d)5(4s)1 and (3d)10(4s)1
respectively. The configurations depend on a balance of two factors:
(a) 3d orbitals are progressively stabilized relative to 4s across the series;
(b) Repulsion between electrons is large in the small 3d orbitals, and so minimum energy
in the neutral atom is achieved in spite of (a) by putting one or two electrons in the 4s
orbitals.
 In forming positive ions, 4s electrons are always removed first.
For M2+ ions and ones of higher charge, outer shell electrons are left only in the 3d series.

Lanthanum and lanthanides
The elements
(1) The elements (sometimes called rare earths) are found together in nature and are electropositive
metals. —— with the filling of seven orbitals of the 4f shells.
Ln (lanthanide, 镧系元素) ——La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu
RE(rare earth) —— La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu ＋Sc, Y
(2) Chemistry is dominated by ＋3 state with ions in (4f)n configuration, and is similar for all elements.
Ligand field and chemical bonding effects associated with incomplete 4f orbitals are very small and
hardly detectable in chemical trends.
The chemistry of all Ln3+ ions is very similar and differentiated only by the gradual contraction in
radius associated with increasing nuclear charge.

Section I
Oxidation States ＋3
A wide range of +3 compounds is formed as well as aqua ions. The ionic radius decrease
gradually across the series, leading to changes in solid structures, and an increase in
stability of complexes in solution. Organometallic compounds are more ionic than in the d
block.
Ln3+ : halides, LnX3, oxides, Ln2O3
this relatively large size for 3+ ions is associated with correspondingly high
coordination numbers in solid compounds.
LnF3 （CN＝9）, Ln2O3. （CN＝7）for earlier elements.
For later Ln elements the decrease in radius leads to changes in structure with reduction in
coordination.
The aqua Ln3+ ions show slightly acidity, which increases from La to Lu as the radius
decrease but still much less than for Al3+.
Strong complexes are formed with hard oxygen donor ligands, and especially chelating
ones such as EDTA, or －diketones. Complexes strengths generally increase across the
series as the radius decreases, and this may be used to separate a mixture of Ln 3+ ions.
