Origin of Elements in the Universe Scientists have long based the origin of our Universe on the Big Bang Theory. According to

this theory, our universe was simply an expanding fairly cold entity consisting of only Hydrogen

and Helium during it's incipient stages. Over the expanse of many years, and through a

continuing process of fusion and fission, our universe has come to consist of numerous chemical

elements, four terrestrial planets(Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury), and five giant gas

planets(Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto, and Uranus).

Nuclear Burning


Origin of the Elements: Nucleosynthesis

•Elements formed in the universe's original stars

were made from hydrogen gas condensing due to gravity. These young stars "burned" hydrogen in fusion reactions to produce helium and the hydrogen was depleted. Reactions such as those below built up all the heavier elements up to atomic number 26 in the periodic table.•When the stars got old they exploded in a super

nova, spreading the new elements into space with high flux of neutrons to produce heavy elements by neutron capture.


1. What are the two basic types of nuclear reactions? Give examples of each that occur during the formation of the Universe


Cosmic Abundances


Balancing Nuclear ReactionsTwo conditions must be met to balance nuclear reactions:

1. The sum of the masses of the reactants must equal the sum of the masses of the products. (i.e., the values of A must balance on both sides of the equation.)

2. The sum of the protons for the reactants must equal the sum of the protons for the products. (i.e., the values of Z must balance on both sides of the equation.)


Balancing Nuclear Reactions2. Complete the following Nuclear reactions:

a) Uranium – 238 decays by alpha radiation to produce what other element?

Bonding Energy Curve


Nuclear Binding EnergyThe binding energy of a nucleus is a measure of how

tightly its protons and neutrons are held

together by the nuclear forces. The binding energy per nucleon, the energy required to remove

one neutron or proton from a nucleus, is a function of the mass number A. (Dm) –mass defect

(Dm) = Mass of Nuclide - mass of (p + n +e )

Proton mass: 1.00728 amu

Neutron mass: 1.00867 amu

Electron mass: 0.00055 amu

Massdefect (Dm), then multiply by 931.5 MeV/amu


4. Using the binding energy calculator, calculate the binding energy 235U if the mass of the this nuclide (isotope) is 235.0349 amu. ( P= 1.007277 amu, N= 1.008665 amu, e- =0.0005438 amu )


5. What are theories that have been used to describe the nuclear stability?

Magic Numbers• Nuclei with either numbers of protons or

neutrons equal to Z, N =2 (He), 8(O), 20 (Ca), 28(Si), 50(Sn, 82(Pb), or 126(?)(I)

• exhibit certain properties which are analogous to closed shell properties in atoms, including

• anomalously low masses, high natural abundances and high energy first excited states.

• The Bohr model is a ‘planetary’ type model.

• Each principal quantum represents a new ‘orbit’ or layer.

• The nucleus is at the center of the model.

• RH = 2.178 x 10-18 JEn = -

En = RH


Emission Spectrum of Hydrogen•

Bohr studied the spectra produced when atoms were excited in a gas discharge tube.

He observed that each element produced its

own set of characteristic lines.


Emission Spectrum of Hydrogen

• Line Spectrum• Energy is absorbed when an electron goes from a

lower(n) to a higher(n) • Energy is emitted when an electron goes from a

higher(n) to a lower(n) level

• Energy changed is given by:DE = Ef - Ei

• or DE = -2.178 x 10-18 [1/n2f - 1/n2

i] J

• DE is negative for an emission and positive for an absorption

• DE can be converted to l or 1/ l by l = hc/E.


What is Bohr’s Atomic model?

• explain emission spectrum of hydrogen atom• applied the idea of Quantization to electrons to orbits• energies of these orbits increase with the distance

from nucleus.

• Energy of the electron in orbit n (En):

• En = -2.178 x 10-18 J (Z2/n2)

• En = -2.178 x 10-18 J 1/n2; Z=1 for H

8. Using Bohr energy calculator, calculate the wavelength of light that can excite the electron in a ground state hydrogen atom from n = 5 to n = 3 energy level.


Wave theory of the electron• 1924: De Broglie suggested that electrons

have wave properties to account for why their energy was quantized.

• He reasoned that the electron in the hydrogen atom was fixed in the space around the nucleus.

• He felt that the electron would best be represented as a standing wave.

• As a standing wave, each electron’s path must equal a whole number times the wavelength.


De Broglie proposed that all particles have a wavelength as related by:

l = wavelength, meters

h = Plank’s constant

m = mass, kg

v = frequency, m/s

What is a wave-mechanical model?• motions of a vibrating string shows one dimensional motion.• Energy of the vibrating string is quantized• Energy of the waves increased with the nodes. • Nodes are places were string is stationary. • Number of nodes gives the quantum number. One

dimensional motion gives one quantum number.

Vibrating String : y = sin(npx/l)

d2y/dx2 = -(n2p2/l2)sin(npx/l) = -(n2p2/l2)y


Quantum model of the atom• Schrödinger developed an equation to

describe the behavior and energies of electrons in atoms.

• His equation ( Wave function ) is similar to one used to describe electromagnetic waves. Each electron can be described in terms of Wave function its quantum numbers. n, l, ml, ms),

• 2 is proportional probablity of finding the electron in a given volume. Max Born Interpretation: 2 = atomic orbital

Quantum Model of atom• Electrons travel in three dimensions• Four quantum numbers are needed• three to describe, x, y, z, and four for the spin• four quantum numbers

describe an orbital currently used to explain the arrangement, bonding and spectra of atoms.


Four Quantum Numbers of the Atom• n value could be

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. 7. . . etc.• l values depend on n value: can have

0 . . . (n - 1) values

• ml values depends on l value:

can have -l . , 0 . . . +l values of ml

• ms values

should always be -1/2 or +1/2

[R n, l (r )]2 or 4pr2R2 = Radial Distribution Function or Pnl(r).


Radial Distribution Function, Pnl(r).This is defined as the probability that an electron in

the orbital with quantum numbers n and l will be found at a distance r from the nucleus. It is related to the radial wave function by the following relationship:

Screening (shielding) constant (σ)Screening (shielding) constant (σ) for each electron is calculated based on:

the principle quantum number

orbital type and penetration and of all

other electrons in an atom.

σ gives Zeff .

Zeff = Z - σ; Z is the atomic number.


Effective nuclear charge (Zeff)

Zeff is the nuclear charge felt by an electron in a multielectron atom:

a) Each electron in an atom has different Zeff.

b) Each Zeff is less than atomic number (Z) since electrons screen each other from the nucleus.

c) Zeff depends on the n and l quantum number of an electron.

d) Zeff Depends on orbital type the electron is in: Zeff of 4s > 4p > 4d > 4f.


Radial Wave Funtions


Radial Distribution Functions, Penetration and Shielding


Penetration & Shielding of an Electron in Multi-electron Atom

Penetration of an electron:• Greater the penetration there is more chance of

electrons being located close to the nucleus.• Comparing s, p, d, or f orbitals within same shell (or

principle QN), penetration of an electrons are in the order: s > p > d > f

Shielding power of an electron:• Shields of other electrons depends penetration and the

orbital type. Shielding power of electrons in orbitals of that same shell are: s > p > d > f

All electrons in groups higher than the electron in question contribute zero to s.

Each electron in the same group contributes 0.35 to s.

All those in groups to the left contribute 1.0 to s (n-3) (n-2) (n-1) (n-1)

s (4s1) = ( 10x1 ) ( 8x 0.85)(1X10) = 26.8 Zeff = 29 – 26.6 = 2.4

Cu: (1s2)(2s2, 2p6) (3s2,3p6) (3d10) (4s1)

s (3d1) = ( 18x1 ) ( 9x 0.35) (0) = 21.15 Zeff = 29 – 21.15 = 7.85

Using the periodic table• To write the ground-state electron configuration of

an element:

• Starting with hydrogen, go through the elements in order of increasing atomic number

• As you move across a period

• Add electrons to the ns orbital as you pass through groups IA (1) and IIA (2).

• Add electrons to the np orbital as you pass through Groups IIIA (13) to 0 (18).

• Add electrons to (n-1) d orbitals as you pass through IIIB (3) to IIB(12) and add electrons to (n-2) f orbitals as you pass through the f -block.


Writing electron configurations

• Electron configurations can also be written for ions.

• Start with the ground-state configuration for the atom.

• For cations, remove a number of the outermost electrons equal to the charge.

• For anions, add a number of outermost electrons equal to the charge.

Periodic trends• Many trends in physical and chemical properties

can be explained by electron configuration.• We’ll look at some of the more important

examples.

Atomic radii

Ionic radii

First ionization energies

Electron affinities


•Cations have smaller radii than neutral atoms.

•Anions have larger radii than neutral atoms

•The more charge on the ion more effect on the

radii.

How does Ionic radii of elements vary?


14. How do you measure atomic (ionic) radii (size)?


Atomic radii of elements going down a group?


Lanthanoide Contration

• Filling of the 4f orbitals in the lanthanides, which occur within the third series of transition elements, causes these transition metals to be smaller than expected because the 4f orbitals are very poor nuclear shielders and Zeff of 6s2

obitals increase and the atomic radii decrease.• 3rd-series elements have nearly the same

effective nuclear charge as the 2nd-series elements, and thus, nearly the same size

15. Why the atomic radius of Zr (1.64) which is in 5th period is almost similar to a element, Hf (1.65) in 6th period.


Ionic radii

Cations

These are smaller than the atoms from which they are formed.

Anions

These are larger than the atoms from which there are formed..


Isoelectronic configurations

Species that have the same electron configurations.

Ionization energy

• First ionization energy

The energy to remove one electron from a neutral atom in the gas phase.

• A(g) + first ionization energy A+(g) + e-

• This indicates how easy it is to form a cation.

Metals tend to have lower first ionization energies than nonmetals.

• They prefer to become cations.

•Electron Affinity depends on Zeff of the nucleus to the outermost electron in the

•Going down the group Zeff for the outer most shell decrease hence the Electron

Affinity also increase

•Going across the period Zeff for the outer most shell increase hence the Electron

Affinity also decrease

How does Electron Affinity vary in the periodic table?


Electron affinity

Atomic number


ElectronegativityThe ability of an atom that is bonded to another atom or

atoms to attract electrons to itself.

It is related to ionization energy and electron affinity.

It cannot be directly measured.

The values are unitless since they are relative to each other.

The values vary slightly from compound to compound but still provide useful qualitative predictions.

17. How you define electronegativity?


Electronegativity Scales• Pauling Electronegativity, cP

• Mulliken Electronegativity, cM

• The Allred-Rochow, cAR

• Sanderson electronegativity

• Allen electronegativity


Pauling Electronegativity, cP

EA-A and EB-B bond-energy of homonuclear A-A & B-B diatomic molecules

EA-B bond-energy of heteronuclear A-B diatomic molecule

cA cB are electronegativity values of A and B

Pauling comments that it is more accurate to use the geometric mean rather than the arithmetic mean


Mulliken Electronegativity, cM

The Mulliken electronegativity can only be calculated for an element for which the electron affinity is known• For ionization energies and electron affinities in

electronvolts

• For energies in kilojoules per mole


The Allred-Rochow, cAR

The effective nuclear charge, Zeff experienced by valence electrons can be estimated using Slater's rules, while the surface area of an atom in a molecule can be taken to be proportional to the square of the covalent radius, rcov. When rcov is expressed in ångströms,

Sanderson, cs

Sanderson has also noted the relationship between electronegativity and atomic size, and has proposed a method of calculation based on the reciprocal of the atomic volume.

The simplest definition of electronegativity is that of Allen, bases on average energy of the valence electrons in a free atom

Allen, cA

where εs,p are the one-electron energies of s-

and p-electrons in the free atom and ns,p are

the number of s- and p-electrons in the valence

shell.

18. Calculate the electronegativity (X) (Xm, Xar)

for Cl. [ Xm= 1/2(I+Ae);

Xar= 0.744+ 0.359 Zeff/r2 ]

a) Xm When Ei and Eea kJ per mol

Xm= 1.97 x 10-3(1251 + 349 ) + 0.19

Xm = 3.342 (3.54)

a) Xar When r ( 0.99 Angstroms) and Zeff = 6.12

Xar= 0.359 Zeff/r2 + 0.744

Xar = 2.98 (2.83)
