3. Elements and the Periodic Table

4. Classification is arranging items into groups or categories according to some criteria. The act of classifying creates a pattern that helps you recognize and understand the behavior of fish, chemicals, or any matter in your surroundings.

5. Matteris usually defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. • Chemistryis the study of the composition, properties and transformation of matter. • Scientific Approach consists of Hypothesis, Experiment, Inference, Prediction (Theory/Law)

6. An Intensive propertyis one which do not depend on amount of substance • An Extensive property is one which depend on amount of substance • A physical changeis a change that does not alter the identity of the matter. • A chemical changeis a change that does alter the identity of the matter. • An element is a pure substance which cannot be broken down into anything simpler by either physical or chemical means. • A compoundis a pure substance that can be decomposed by a chemical change into simpler substances with a fixed mass ratio

7. Sugar (A) is a compound that can be easily decomposed to simpler substances by heating. (B) One of the simpler substances is the black element carbon, which cannot be further decomposed by chemical or physical means.

8. Elements

9. Names of Elements • The first 114 elements have internationally accepted names, which are derived from: • The compound or substance in which the element was discovered • An unusual or identifying property of the element • Places, cities, and countries • Famous scientists • Greek mythology • Astronomical objects.

10. The elements Oxygen and Silicon make up about 75% of the earth's solid surface. Water on the surface and in the air as clouds and fog is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. The air is 99% nitrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon make up 90% of a person. Thus almost everything you see in this picture us made up of just six elements.

11. Chemical Symbols • There are about a dozen common elements that have single capitalized letter for their symbol • The rest, that have permanent names have two letters. • the first is capitalized and the second is lower case. • Some elements have symbols from their Latin names. • Ten of the elements have symbols from their Latin or German names.

12. Here are some of the symbols Dalton used for atoms of elements and molecules of compounds. He probably used a circle for each because, like the ancient Greeks, he thought of atoms as tiny, round hard spheres.

18. The Periodic Law

19. The History of the Modern Periodic Table

20. During the nineteenth century, chemists began to categorize the elements according to similarities in their physical and chemical properties. The end result of these studies was our modern periodic table.

21. In 1829, he classified some elements into groups of three, which he called triads.The elements in a triad had similar chemical properties and orderly physical properties. Johann Dobereiner (ex. Cl, Br, I and Ca, Sr, Ba) Model of triads 1780 - 1849

22. In 1863, he suggested that elements be arranged in “octaves” because he noticed (after arranging the elements in order of increasing atomic mass) that certain properties repeated every 8th element. John Newlands Law of Octaves 1838 - 1898

23. In 1869 he published a table of the elements organized by increasing atomic mass. Dmitri Mendeleev 1834 - 1907

24. At the same time, he published his own table of the elements organized by increasing atomic mass. Lothar Meyer 1830 - 1895

25. Dmitri Medeleev gave us a functional scheme with which to classify elements. • Mendeleev’s scheme was based on chemical properties of the elements. • It was noticed that the chemical properties of elements increased in a periodic manner. • The periodicity of the elements was demonstrated by Medeleev when he used the table to predict to occurrence and chemical properties of elements which had not yet been discovered.

26. Mendeleev left blank spaces in his table when the properties of the elements above and below did not seem to match. The existence of unknown elements was predicted by Mendeleev on the basis of the blank spaces. When the unknown elements were discovered, it was found that Mendeleev had closely predicted the properties of the elements as well as their discovery.

27. The Periodic Law • Similar physical and chemical properties recur periodically when the elements are listed in order of increasing atomic number.

28. The Modern Periodic Table

29. In 1913, through his work with X-rays, he determined the actual nuclear charge (atomic number) of the elements*. He rearranged the elements in order of increasing atomic number. Henry Moseley *“There is in the atom a fundamental quantity which increases by regular steps as we pass from each element to the next. This quantity can only be the charge on the central positive nucleus.” 1887 - 1915

30. Introduction • The periodic table is made up of rows of elements and columns. • An element is identified by its chemical symbol. • The number above the symbol is the atomic number • The number below the symbol is the rounded atomic weight of the element. • A row is called a period • A column is called a group

31. (A) Periods of the periodic table, and (B) groups of the periodic table.

32. Each period ends with a completely filled outer shell that has the maximum number of electrons for that shell. • The number identifying the A families identifies the number of electrons in the outer shell, except helium • The outer shell electrons are responsible for chemical reactions. • Group A elements are called representative elements • Group B elements are called transition elements.

33. Chemical “Families” • IA are called alkali metalsbecause the react with water to from an alkaline solution • Group IIA are called the alkali earth metalsbecause they are reactive, but not as reactive as Group IA. • They are also soft metals like Earth. • Group VIIA are the halogens • These need only one electron to fill their outer shell • They are very reactive. • Group VIIIA are the noble gasesas they have completely filled outer shells • They are almost non reactive.

34. Four chemical families of the periodic table: the alkali metals (IA), the alkaline earth metals (IIA), halogens (VII), and the noble gases (VIIIA).

35. Metal: Elements that are usually solids at room temperature. Most elements are metals. Non-Metal: Elements in the upper right corner of the periodic Table. Their chemical and physical properties are different from metals. Metalloid: Elements that lie on a diagonal line between the Metals and non-metals. Their chemical and physical properties are intermediate between the two.

37. The periodic table is the most important tool in the chemist’s toolbox!
