Need for classification of elements
●1800 → 31elements
●1865 → 63elements
●2016 → 118elements
●It is difficult to individually study the chemistry of each element and its
compounds.
●As per IUPAC there are currently; 2 million inorganic compounds & 18
million Organic compounds.
●An arrangement in which elements having similar properties were
classified in tabular form which lead to the formation of the periodic table.
●Formulation of Periodic table provided a way for the study of chemistry in
a much simpler way.
Dobereiner’sTriads
Grouped the elements with similar chemical properties into clusters of three called 'Triads'.
When 3 elements having similar properties are arranged in an increasing order of their
atomic mass, the atomic mass of middle element is mean of atomic mass of the other two
elements
Newland’s Law of Octaves
When elements are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic
mass, the properties of every eighth element resembles that of the first.
Demerits of Newland’s Law of Octaves
●Worked only for the lighter elements (only till Ca).
●Discovery of noble gases failed this law.
●Not valid for heavier elements as O and Fe were placed in the
same group despite having vastly different properties.
Lothar meyer’s curve
Lothar meyer’s curve
●Alkali metals are at the peak of the curve.
●Alkaline earth metals are at the descending part of the curve.
●Halogens are at the ascending part of the curve.
●Most of the transition metals are lying in the broad minimas.
Lotharmeyer’scurve
Many other physical properties of the elements also change in a
periodic manner like melting point, boiling point, density,
thermal expansion coefficient, etc.
Based on these observations, he proposed that-
“The physical properties of elements are periodic functions of
their atomic weights”
This formed the basis of Mendeleev’s periodic table
Mendeleev's Periodic Table
Physical and chemical properties of an element are periodic
functions of their atomic masses.
Merits of Mendeleev's Periodic Table
•Classification of elements was based on the properties of elements.
Merits of Mendeleev's Periodic Table
●If the elements are arranged in the order of their increasing atomic
weights, after a regular interval elements with similar properties are
repeated. The table is divided into nine vertical columns and seven
horizontal rows.
●He placed elements having similar nature in the same vertical column or
group with respect to atomic weight.
●At some places, the order of atomic weight was changed in order to
justify the physical and chemical nature of elements.
●Some places were left vacant for new elements which were not
discovered at that time.
●Left gaps in his periodic table, for elements yet to be discovered.
Merits of Mendeleev's Periodic Table
Demerits of Mendeleev's Periodic Table
•Position of Hydrogen element was not justified.
•No separate positions were given to isotopes.
•Order of increasing atomic weights is not strictly followed in the
arrangement of elements in the periodic table.
For e.g. –Co (At. wt. 58.9) is placed before I (127) and Ar (39.9)
before K (39).
•There was no explanation for the periodicity of elements.
•No place for Noble or Inert gases.
Henry Moseley observed regularities in the characteristic X-ray spectra of the
elements. A plot of ( where νis frequency of X-rays emitted) against atomic
number (Z ) gave a straight line and not the plot of vs atomic mass.

Screening effect /Shielding effect
➢In a multi electronic system, the electrons are attracted
towards the Nucleus as well as repelled by each other. Thus the
force attraction between the Nucleus and the valence shell
electrons is somewhat decreased.
Effective nuclear Charge
Z*=Z –σ
σ=Screening constant / Shielding constant
Z* = effective nuclear charge
Effective Nuclear Charge :-
The force of attraction on valence shell electrons
Slater’s Rule
If electron resides in ns or np subshell
❏All electrons present in shells higher than concerned
electron contribute zero to σ.
❏All electrons present in same shell contribute 0.35 to σ.
❏All electrons present in (n-1) shell contribute 0.85 to σ.
❏All electrons present in deeper shells contribute 1 to σ.
Factors affecting shielding effect
❏No. of inner shell electrons
More the no. of inner shell electrons, more will be the value of σ.
❏Shape of orbital
Order of screening effect
(max screening)ns > np > nd > nf (min screening)
Atomic radii
The average distance of valence shell e
–
from nucleus is called atomic
radius. It is very difficult to measure the atomic radius because –
❏The isolation of single atom is very difficult.
❏There is no well defined boundary for the atom. (The probability of
finding the e
–
is 0 only at infinity).
❏So, the more accurate definition of atomic radius is –
Half the inter-nuclear distance(d) between two atoms in a diatomic
molecule is known as atomic radius.
Covalent radius
It is defined as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two nuclei of
atoms bonded by a single covalent bond.

Van Der Waals radius
One half of the distance between the nuclei of two adjacent
atoms belonging to two neighbouring molecules of a compound
in the solid state is called Van der Waals radius.
Comparison of Atomic radius
❏For a species:
Van der Waals Radius > Metallic Radius > Covalent Radius
❏Van der waals radius is largest .
❏Covalent radius is smallest .
Number of shells :
Atomic radius increases, with increase in no. of shells
No. of shells ∝Atomic radius
Factor affecting Atomic radius
Shielding Effect :
Inner shell electrons are “shielding” the outer shell electron
The attractive force of the nucleus does not
reach the outermost electron. As a result of the
shielding effect, the atomic radii increases
Shielding Effect ∝Atomic radius

Down the Group
In group 13 the trend of atomic radius is
B < Al ≈ Ga < In < Tl
This is due to poor Shielding of 3d electrons in
Ga as a result effective nuclear charge
increases hence size of Ga decreases.

Ionic Radius
●Ions are formed by either gainof electrons by an atom or lossof
electrons by an atom
●On the basis of this Ions can be classified in two types
Ionic radius
Radius of an anion is invariably bigger than that of the corresponding atom.
Reason:
❏The effective nuclear charge decrease in the formation of anion. Thus
the electrostatic force of attraction between the nucleus and the
outer electrons decreases as the size of the anion increases.
❏Interelectronic repulsion increases.
Anionic radius
Radius of cation is smaller than that of corresponding atom.
Reason:
During the formation of cation ,effective nuclear charge increase as a
result atomic size decreases.

HOMEWORK
Ionisation energy (IE) -Amount of energy required to
remove the most loosely bound electron from an isolated
gaseous atom to form a cation.
Ionisation Energy
Atomic size :
Greater the size
of atom→
Easier is the removal of the
valence electron, hence energy
required is less.
Factor affecting Ionisation Energy
Nuclear charge :
Greater the
charge →
Greater is attraction between nucleus
and electrons present in outermost
shell, more will be difficult to remove
electron.
Factor affecting Ionisation Energy
Screening Effect :
With increase in Screening Effect, nuclear charge on electrons
in the outermost shell reduces. Since effective nuclear charge
decreases, Ionization Enthalpy decreases.

Electron gain enthalpy value of the elements decreases with
the increasing shielding or screening effect. The shielding

Electronegativity 3.25 2.75 2.5
(D) Oxidation state
The electronegativity value increases as
the oxidation state (i.e. the number of
positive charge) of the atom increases.
Electronegativity increases across the period as atomic size decreases.
Trend of electronegativity
Electronegativity decreases down the group as atomic size increases.
Trend of electronegativity
Metallic and non metallic nature :
a) On moving from left to right in a periods, the electronegativity of the
elements increases. So the metallic character decreases.
b) On moving down a group, the electronegativity of the elements
decreases. So the metallic character increases.
Application of electronegativity
Bond strength:
If the electronegativity difference of covalently bonded atoms Δ(x)
increases, the bond energy of the covalent bond also increases.
For Example :
the order of the H-X bond strength is –
H –F > H –Cl > H –Br > H –I
