lother meyers classification
- the alkali metals are going to be at the crest of the curve
- the alkaline earth metal they will occupy the midpoints in descending portion
- transition metals are going to occupy the trough
- the halogens are going to occupy the ascending portion before inert gases
atomic volume =atomic mass/density
long form of periodic table or mosleys pt
- he studies the frequencies of xrays produced by bombardment of beam of electrons of the metal surface
- the square root of frequency is directly proportional to the effective nuclear charge i.e. atomic number

nomenclature of elements above 100
for ex :
sulphur: atomic number = 16
electronic configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
period = 3
block = p
atomic number = 10+ (no of valence shell electrons)6 = 16
- screening effect of sheilding effect
define : the decrease in force of attraction bw the nucleus and outer electrons by the inner electrons
zeff = z-s (where s is the screening const)
slater's rule
- case 1: if electron in question resides in s or p subshell
rules for case 1
- then all electrons present in shells higher than electron in question contribute zero to sigma or s.
- all electrons present in same shell contribute 0.35 to sigma
- all electrons present in (n-1) shell contribute 0.85 to sigma
- all electrons present in deeper shells contribute 1 to sigma
Q] find the zeff of last electrons of cl
ans] - 1s2 and 2s2 are one orbital all together
- the deeper or innermost orbital is (n-2) for whos electrons contribution will be multiplied to 1
- rest will (n-1)electrons * 0.85 and n electrons * 0.35
find the z eff for chlorine
case 2: if electrons in question is present in d or f subshell
rules for case 2:
- then all electrons present in shells higher than electron in question contribute zero to sigma or s.
- all electrons present in same shell contribute 0.35 to sigma
- all electrons present in (n-1) or deeper shells contribute 1 to sigma
for ex: calculate the effective nuclear charge for iron
ATOMIC RADIUS
define: it is one half of the distance bw two nuclie of like atoms bonded by single covalent bond.
- used for non metals
- CASE 1: for homoatomic molecule the distance bw the two nuclie divided by two
- CASE 2: for heteroatomic molecules and electronegativity almost zero(sum of radium of the two atoms)
- for heteroatomic molecules and the electronegativity is not zero
- if the electronegativity is nearly same we use the stevenson and schoomakerformula
da-b = ra + rb - 0.09|electronegativity difference of both atoms |
- if the electronegativity difference is not zero then we use the porterfeild formula
da-b = ra + rb - 0.09|electronegativity difference of both atoms |2
METALLIC RADIUS
Define: it is one half of the distance bw two nearest neighbouring atom ion metal crystal.
