s-block
Forms covalent bond due to smaller size.
Hence, starting elements differ from
I-A II-A
their respective group
Li and Mg are similar due to diagonal
Li Be relationship they both can form organo-
metallic compounds
Na Mg

K Ca

Rb Sr

Cs Ba
They are excluded due to
their radioactive nature
Fr Ra

Atomic Radius

• The distance from nucleus of an atom to its last shell is called atomic radius.
• The unit of atomic radius is Angstrom (Å) 1Å = 10-10 m = 10-8 cm
• Atomic radius is directly proportional to number of shells.
• Atomic radius is inversely proportional to the magnitude of nuclear charge.
• Atomic radius increases down the group in periodic table.
• Atomic radius decreases along the period in periodic table.
Atomic Radius of All Elements
Ionic Radius
(Cationic Radius/Anionic Radius)

• The radius of an ion is called ionic radius.


• Cations are smaller than their parent atom. (because a shell is
removed)
• Anions are bigger than their parent atom. (because of repulsion of
electrons)

Ionic Radius of Cations/Anions
Ionization Potential/Ionization Energy

• The minimum amount of energy which is required to remove an electron from the
last shell of an atom is called ionization potential.
• The unit of Ionization potential is KJ/mol or Kcal/mol
• Ionization potential is inversely proportional to number of shells
• Ionization potential is directly proportional to magnitude of nuclear charge
• Down the group IP decrease
• Along the period IP increase
• 1st IP < 2nd IP < 3rd IP
• Non metals generally have high IP values while metals have low IP values.
• Exception: Nitrogen has greater IP than Oxygen / II-A has greater IP than III-A
• Lower the IP greater will be the reactivity of metal.

Electron Affinity

• The maximum amount of energy which is released/absorbed when an


electron enters in the last shell of an atom is called electron affinity.
• 1st E.A is mostly Negative
• 2nd E.A is always Positive
• Electron Affinity decreases down the group and increases along the period.
• Exception#1: VIII-A group elements have 0 electron affinity.
• Exception#2: I-A > II-A, IV-A > V-A, VII-A>VIII-A
• Exception#3: Cl>Br>F>I (small size and cloud of 7 e- in last shell of F repels
incoming electron)

Electronegativity/Electron Gaining Tendency/
Non-Metallic Character

• The power of an atom to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself
is called electronegativity.
• Pauling Scale was discovered by Linus Pauling.
• Electronegativity has no Unit.
• Down the group electronegativity decreases and along the period increases.
• Most electronegative element is Fluorine = 4.0
• Least electronegative element is Cesium = 0.7

Electronegativity Values
Electropositivity/Electron Loosing Tendency/
Metallic Character

• It is the reverse of Electronegativity.


• Electropositivity has no Unit.
• Down the group electronegativity increases and along the period decreases.
• Most electropositive element is Cesium = 4.0
• Least electropositive element is Fluorine = 0.7
• Metals are electropositive in nature.

Metals, Non-metals and Metalloids
Hydration Energy

• The process in which water molecules surrounds the ions of solute is called
hydration.
• Hydration is an exothermic process which results in release of heat energy called
hydration energy.
• The unit of hydration energy is KJ/mole or Kcal/mol
• Smaller the ions greater will be the hydration energy.
• Greater the charge greater will be the hydration energy.
• Down the group hydration energy decreases and along the period it increases.
• Example: Sodium ions can be easily hydrated than potassium ions.
• Example: Magnesium ions have higher hydration energy than sodium ions.
• Example: Mg+2 ions can be easily hydrated than Mg+1 ions.
Melting Point / Boiling Point

• The temperature at which a solid starts melting is called melting point.


• The temperature at which a vapour pressure becomes equal to atmospheric
pressure is called boiling point.
• Melting point / BP is directly related to hardness.
• Melting point / BP increases along the period up to IV-A then starts decreasing.
• Melting point / BP decreases down the group (I-A/II-A)
• Melting point / BP increases down the group (III-A  VII-A)

ENGINEER NASIM ZULIFQAR


Density

• Mass per unit volume is called density.


• Density increases down the group.
• Density increase along the period up to IV-A then it starts decreasing.
