3 Chapter 22.1 PERIODIC TRENDS AND CHEMICAL REACTIONS Nonmetals Except for hydrogen, the nonmetals are found in the upper right-hand corner of the periodic chart.

4 Chapter 22.1 PERIODIC TRENDS AND CHEMICAL REACTIONS Periodic Trends Within a group, smaller atoms are more likely to form -bonds because they can get closer to other atoms. Only 2 nd period elements readily form -bonds.

5 Chapter 22.1 PERIODIC TRENDS AND CHEMICAL REACTIONS Periodic Trends As a result, CO 2 contains two -bonds, and SiO 2 is a network solid with only -bonds.

7 Chapter 22.2 HYDROGEN Hydrogen The most abundant element in the universe. The nuclear fuel for the Sun and other stars Constitutes 75% of the known mass of the universe and 0.9% of Earth s mass. There are three isotopes: Protium ( 1 H): 99.98% of all hydrogen Deuterium ( 2 H): 0.016% of all hydrogen Tritium ( 3 H): trace, radioactive They have different mp, bp, and density

8 Chapter 22.2 HYDROGEN Properties of Hydrogen Hydrogen is unique. It does not belong to any group. It has very low melting ( 259 C) and boiling ( 253 C) points (weak intermolecular interaction). It has very large bond enthalpies. 436 kj/mol (242 kj/mol for Cl-Cl) It reacts slowly and requires catalysts. Its reactions are generally quite exothermic.

9 Chapter 22.2 HYDROGEN Hydrogen Production Hydrogen is commercially produced from reaction of methane (CH 4 ) with steam at 1100 C or carbon and steam above 1000 C. CH 4 (g) + H 2 O(g) CO(g) + 3 H 2 (g) CO(g) + H 2 O(g) CO 2 (g) + H 2 (g) C(s) + H 2 O(g) H 2 (g) + CO(g) Its production from the electrolysis of water is not energy efficient.

10 Chapter 22.2 HYDROGEN Uses of Hydrogen Most hydrogen (70%) is used to produce ammonia (NH 3 ) in the Haber process. It is also used to produce methanol (CH 3 OH). CO(g) + 2 H 2 (g) CH 3 OH(g)

11 Chapter 22.2 HYDROGEN Uses of Hydrogen 2 H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) 2 H 2 O(g) H = kj Using hydrogen as a fuel would have many advantages: It's reaction with oxygen is highly exothermic. Water is the only product Cheap and efficient production of hydrogen is important

12 Hydrides Hydrogen-containing compounds There are three types of hydrides: Ionic Metallic Molecular Chapter 22.2 HYDROGEN

13 Ionic Hydrides Chapter 22.2 HYDROGEN Ionic hydrides are formed between hydrogen and alkali metals or heavy alkaline earth metals (Ca, Sr, Ba). They are very strong bases and reducing agents. They react readily with water, so they must be stored free from moisture.

14 Chapter 22.2 HYDROGEN Metallic Hydrides These are formed between hydrogen and transition metals, often in unusual ratios. TiH 1.8, for example. They retain electrical conductivity and other metallic properties.

15 Chapter 22.2 HYDROGEN Molecular Hydrides These are formed between hydrogen and nonmetals or metalloids. They are usually gases or liquids at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure.

16 Chapter 22.3 GROUP 8A: THE NOBEL GASES Noble Gases Noble gases are extremely stable and unreactive. Liquid He (boiling point 4.2 K) is used as a coolant. Ne is used in electric signs. Ar is used in light bulbs and as an insulating gas between panes in thermal windows.

17 Xenon Compounds Of all noble gases, Xe can be forced to form compounds most easily. KrF 2 is also known, but decomposes at 10 C. Chapter 22.3 GROUP 8A: THE NOBEL GASES

18 Chapter 22.4 GROUP 7A: THE HALOGENS Halogens Large electron affinities and ionization energies Outer electron configurations of ns 2 np 5. They tend to accept one electron to form anions All have a 1 oxidation state. All but fluorine also have positive oxidation states up to +7 when bonded to more electronegative atoms such as O.

19 Properties of Halogens Chapter 22.4 GROUP 7A: THE HALOGENS They tend to be good oxidizers, due to their electronegativity. They can oxidize anions of halides below them on periodic chart. H 2 O CCl 4 NaI.

20 Properties of Halogens Fluorine has an unusually high reduction potential. It can easily oxidize water. Chapter 22.4 GROUP 7A: THE HALOGENS F 2 (aq) + H 2 O(l) 2 HF(aq) + 1/2 O 2 (g) E = 1.80 V Fluorine is formed by electrolytic oxidation of a solution of KF in anhydrous HF Chlorine is produced mainly by electrolysis of either molten or aqueous sodium chloride

24 Chapter 22.4 GROUP 7A: THE HALOGENS Hydrogen Halides Aqueous solutions of HCl, HBr, and HI are, of course, strong acids. HF and HCl can be produced by reacting salts (CaF 2 /CaCl 2 ) with H 2 SO 4. Br and I are oxidized too easily, so one must use a weaker oxidizing acid, like H 3 PO 4. Oxidation of NaI & NaBr by H 2 SO 4. NaI NaBr

25 Hydrofluoric Acid Chapter 22.4 GROUP 7A: THE HALOGENS Hydrofluoric acid reacts with silicates, components of most types of glass. This reaction causes glass to etch. Therefore, HF is usually stored in plastic containers. Interhalogen compounds such as ClF, IF 5, IF 7 and ICl 3 are powerful oxidizing agents.

26 Oxyacids and Oxyanions Chapter 22.4 GROUP 7A: THE HALOGENS Oxyacid strength increases with the increasing oxidation number of the central halogen. Oxyacids are strong oxidizers. Oxyanions generally more stable than the corresponding acids.

27 Oxyacids and Oxyanions While generally quite stable, perchlorates become exceedingly strong oxidizers when heated, and are used as a rocket fuel (NH 4 ClO 4 /Al powder) 700 tons of NH 4 ClO 4 are required for each shuttle launch Chapter 22.4 GROUP 7A: THE HALOGENS

34 Superoxides In superoxides (O 2- ) oxygen has oxidation state of 1/2. The most active metals (K, Rb, Cs) form superoxides through reaction with O 2. The next active metals produces peroxides (Na 2 O 2, CaO 2, SrO 2,and BaO 2 ) They react with H 2 O to form O 2. It is the source of O 2 in selfcontained breathing devices. Chapter 22.5 OXYGEN
