Periodic Trends Melting / Boiling Points Density Conductivity
Melting / Boiling Point Trends • Within Group 17 (VIIA) melting points and boiling points increase down the group
Melting / Boiling Point Trends • Within Group 17 (or VIIA) melting points and boiling points increase down the group • Fluorine & Chlorine – gases (room temp) • Bromine – liquid (room temp) • Iodine - solid (room temp) • In group 1 (IA), there is a decrease in melting point and boiling point going down the group
Melting / Boiling Point Trends • Trends in melting points and boiling points are a measure of attractive forces between atoms (or molecules) • If bp/mp increases down a group, this indicates stronger attractive forces • If bp/mp decreases down a group, this indicates weaker attractive forces
Melting / Boiling Point Trends • Moving left to right across a period, melting points: • Increase as the attractive forces change from metallic bonds with loosely held electrons to solids like carbon and silicon (which are complex network solids) • Different types of bonds, which we will discuss in more detail in later chapters
Melting / Boiling Point Trends • Moving left to right in a period, melting points: • Increase as the attractive forces change from metallic bonds with loosely held electrons to solids like carbon and silicon where outer electrons are tied up in a complex network • Different types of bonds, which we will discuss in more detail in later chapters • Melting points then drop off sharply for non-metals, which have very weak forces of attraction
Density Trends • Densities of elements increase down a group as atomic number increases
Density Trends • Densities of elements increase down a group as atomic number increases • Across periods (left → right), densities increase, then decrease • Elements with the greatest densities are at the center of period 6.
Trends in Conductivity • All metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. • The best conductors are (in this order): • Ag>Cu>Au>Al>Ca>Na>Mg • Non-metals are non-conductors
