The group 1 atom in a given period is the largest that hydrogen is often placed and is the most easily ionized.
The group 1 elements have a low densi table, but some of them are not ties and are an alkali metal.
The reactivity of the alkali metals can be seen in their reactions with water.
Both metals and nonmetals are encountered in these groups.
Boron has interesting chemistry because it tends to form molecule with incomplete octets around the central boron atoms.
Because aluminum production requires a lot of electricity, aluminum-production plants are located close to a lot of hydroelectricity.
Group 13--Gallium, indium, and thallium--are all metals.
The chemistry of group 13 is dominated by aluminum and boron, and we will only mention the heavier elements in this chapter.
Group 14 has a nonmetal, two metalloids, and two metals.
The chemistry of carbon is the most important in the group since it occurs in all living systems.
Tin and lead can be obtained using methods that have been used for thousands of years.
There are many opportunities to relate new information to principles presented earlier in the text.
The ideas of atomic structure, periodic trends in atomic and ionic radii, chemical bonding, and thermodynamics will help us understand the chemical behavior of the elements.
The periodic trends that we have covered in this text can be rationalized in the chemistry of the elements.
The elements in a given group have similar electronic configurations, but not the same chemical properties, because the atoms of each group have similar electronic configurations.
Trends in atomic properties will be reviewed in this section.
We will begin to understand the trends in the chemistry of the elements with these ideas.
The atomic properties of an element are responsible for its chemistry.
The ground state electronic configuration of He is 1s2.
A summary of trends in atomic radius, first ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity, and atomic polarizability can be found here.
The shaded elements are the focus of the chapter.
Chapter 9 discussed atomic radii, ionising energies, and electron affinities.
We have discussed polarization of the anion trends before in this text.
A high charge density distorts the electron from top to bottom in a group.
The anion has first ion energies, electron affinities, and cloud around it.
The electronegativities show that the quantities increase across the electron cloud and decrease down a group.
cations are smaller than the parent atoms when shown with a dashed line and radii, and anions are larger, so it is important to remember.
The bond between the anion electron cloud and the internuclear region is distorted when a cation interacts with an anion.
As a result of the distortion, the bond between the cation and the anion has a variety of different character.
Charge density is deterred by the polarizability of the anion and the cation.
The larger and more polarizable anions derived from atoms that are lower down in a group are defined by some authors as charge density.
The higher the charge density, the greater the ability of a cation to distort the electron cloud of an anion toward itself.
The charge density concept will be used to rationalize certain observations.
It will be used to help us understand why there are dramatic differences in the properties of elements in the same group.
It is not possible to use a single quantity of Group 1 Elements as a substitute for careful consideration of all contributing factors.

The Edegcell values show that the strongest reducing agent in the solution is lithium.
The strong reducing agents in the alkali metals are in the solution.
The equilibrium position for reac is always very far to the right, and so the reaction is controlled by completion regardless of which alkali metal is involved.
The time it takes for a reaction to happen and the rate of it.
It is necessary to consider what happens to the energy that is released by the controlled factors to explain this observation.
The energy released by the reaction is used to heat the system.
The energy released by the reaction is enough to melt the unreacted metal.
The melting point of NaCl is too high a temperature to carry this economically.
The Downs cell is used for the reduction of molten KCl.
At low temperatures, most of the KCl(l) remains is molten NaCl(l) to which CaCl2 has been added unreacted.
The equilibrium is displaced far to the right as to lower the melting point of K(g) from the molten mixture.
The K(g) is free of any Na(g) present when the liquid metals are fractionally distilled.
Rb and Cs can be produced with Ca metal as the reducing agent.
The most important use of the metal is because it is so easy to oxidize and because it can be kept apart by reducing agent.
Titanium metal can be obtained from the reduction of TiCl4 by Na.
It is possible to make high-strength, low density alloys with aluminum and magnesium using lithium metal.
The ease of oxidation and the large number of electrons produced by a small mass of lithium make it an anode material in batteries.

Some of the conversions occur in one step, such as the reaction of NaCl with H2SO4 to form Na2SO4.
A C/ symbol is used to indicate if a reaction mixture must be heated.
The cations are hydrated when salts are dissolved in water.
The anions have the same hydration but with slightly positive hydrogen atoms in the water.
Water is a part of the solid structure when a salt is crystallized.
A number of factors must be considered before a simple rule can be used for predicting whether the ion will retain their hydration spheres in the solid state.
cations with high charge densities tend to retain all or part of their hydration spheres in the solid state.
When the cations have low charge densities, they lose their hydration spheres and form anhydrous salts.
The charge densities of the alkali metals are shown in Table 21.2, but the majority of the salts are anhydrous.
Keep in mind that other reaction products must be included in balanced chemical equations for each conversion.

As we move down the group from Li to Cs, we notice that the oxide (M2O) shifts to the superoxide (MO2).
The stability can be measured relative to some set of refer not dissipated immediately.
It is surprising that M2O1s2 is not formed because of the large energy requirement.
The lattice energy is the enthalpy change for the process.

The table shows that beryllium is out of step with the other group.
The coordination number is 6 and the aIonic radii are green.
Poor conductors of electricity, BeF2 and BeCl2 are in the molten state.
The high charge density of the beryllium cation is related to the unusual chemical behavior of beryllium.
The small Be2+ ion polarizes any nearby anion, drawing electron density toward itself, creating a bond with significant covalent character.
Some of the compounds of beryllium have some characteristics that are similar to covalent solids.

The weak intermolecular forces that contribute to the attraction between the molecule are what make the gases at room temperature.
The formulas for the second-row elements are easy to understand.
The number of fluorine atoms per formula unit is the same as the number of valence electrons required to fill the shell of carbon, nitrogen, or oxygen.
For example, a carbon atom with configuration 3He42s22p2 requires four electrons to complete its valence shell because each fluorine atom has only one unpaired valence electron.
For the fluo rides of groups 1, 2, and 13 the number of fluorine atoms per formula unit is the same as the number of valence electrons.
To get a ns2 configuration, a fluorine atom needs only one electron to complete it's valence shell, and a lithium atom needs only one electron to complete it's nucleus.
The number of valence electrons a Be or B atom must lose to attain a noble gas configuration is related to the formulas of BeF2 and BF3.
The number of fluorine atoms per formula unit is difficult to predict for the third-row elements.
As we move left to right across the third period, the oxidation state of the element bonded to fluorine increases, except in going from sulfur to chlorine.
