Article Draft

Article body

In chemistry, periodic trends are specific patterns present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of certain elements when grouped by period and/or group. They were discovered by the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1863. Major periodic trends include atomic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity, valency and metallic character. Dmitri Mendeleev built the foundation of the periodic table.[1] Mendeleev organized the elements based on atomic weight.[2] English physicist Henry Moseley discovered that organizing the elements by atomic number instead of atomic weight would naturally group elements with similar properties.[2]

Lead: Nucleophilicity and Electrophilicity

Article body

Electrophilicity is defined as an electron-deficient species, an electrophile, and its affinity for accepting electrons.[3]

Nucleophilicity is defined as an electron-rich species, a nucleophile, and its affinity to donate electrons to another species [4]

The periodic table has applicable trends to determine an element's nucleophilicity and electrophilicity. Nucleophilicity increases as electronegativity increases, therefore, nucleophilicity increases left-to-right on the periodic table. [5]Electronegativity increases as electronegativity decreases, therefore, electronegativity decreases left-to-right on the periodic table. [5]

Lead: Electron Affinity

Electron affinity decreases as the space between the valence shell and nucleus increases.

Article body

The energy released when an electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom to form an anion is known as electron affinity.[6] Trend-wise, as one progresses from left to right across a period, the electron affinity will increase as the nuclear charge increases and the atomic size decreases resulting in a more potent force of attraction of the nucleus and the added electron. However, as one moves down in a group, electron affinity decreases. Similarly to ionization energy, this is caused by the increase in atomic size due to the addition of a valence shell, which weakens the nucleus's attraction to electrons. Although it may seem that fluorine should have the greatest electron affinity, its small size generates enough repulsion among the electrons, resulting in chlorine having the highest electron affinity in the halogen family.[7]

Lead: Nuclear Charge

Lead

Article body

Nuclear charge is defined as the number of protons in the nucleus of the relevant element.[8]
