The Periodic Table. By 1860 60 elements had been discovered but scientists had no way of organizing them. J.W. Dobereiner classified elements that had similar properties into triads, organizing them by atomic mass.

By 1860 60 elements had been discovered but scientists had no way of organizing them
J.W. Dobereiner classified elements that had similar properties into triads, organizing them by atomic mass
Triads were useful because they grouped elements with similar properties and revealed an orderly pattern in some of their physical and chemical properties which are related to related to atomic mass.
Dimitri Mendeleev • 1869 – grouped elements by atomic mass • Chemical and physical properties repeated in an orderly way when elements are arranged according to increasing atomic mass • Elements with similar properties were placed in horizontal rows • Density, melting point, and boiling point increase as atomic mass increases
Elements on the periodic table show periodicity • The tendency to recur at regular intervals • Mendeleev was able to predict the existence and properties of elements that had not yet been discovered
Henry Moseley • Rearranged the elements according to increasing atomic number • Atomic # = • Resulted in the structure of the modern periodic table
Periodic Law – the physical and chemical properties of the elements repeat in a regular pattern when they are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
Periods and Groups • 7 horizontal rows = periods • Correspond to outermost energy level • Vertical columns = groups/families • Correspond to the number of outermost electrons • Have similar properties • Some have special names
Group/Family Names • Group 1 = Alkali metals • Group 2 = Alkaline earth metals • Group 3 – 12 = Transition metals • Inner Transition metals • Group 17 (VII A) = Halogens • Group 18 (VIII A) = Nobel gases
Physical States and Classes of Elements • Most elements are solid at room temperature • Br & Hg are liquid • N, O, F, Cl, and Noble gases are gas
Elements are classified as metals, metalloids, or nonmetals based on their properties
Metals • Located to the left of the stairs • Have luster • Conduct heat and electricity • Usually bend without breaking • Solid at room temperature • Very high melting points
Nonmetals – located to the right of the stairs • Brittle • Dull looking • Poor conductors of heat and electricity • Usually gases
Metalloids – have properties of both metals and nonmetals • B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, At • Some are semiconductors – conducts electricity better than a nonmetal but not as good as a metal
Patterns in Valence Electrons • Valence electron = • All elements of a family have the same number of valence electrons • Increase across a period
There is a relationship between the electron configuration of an element and its placement on the periodic table
Alkali Metals (1A) Na K
Group 6A O S
Halogens (7A) F Cl
Nobel Gasses (8A) Outermost s & p sublevels completely filled (non-reactive) Filled outer levels make atoms stable and non-reactive
Representative Elements Outermost s & p sublevels are only partially filled (group A elements) Group # = # of valence electrons
1A = s1 (1 valence electron) 2A = s2 (2 valence electrons) 3A = s2p1 (3valence electrons) 4A = s2p2 (4 valence electrons) 5A = s2p3 (5 valence electrons) 6A = s2p4 (6 valence electrons) 7A = s2p5 (7 valence electrons) 8A = s2p6 (8 valence electrons)
Transition Metals Outermost s and nearby d sublevels contain electrons All transition metals usually have 1, 2, or 3 valence electrons
Inner Transition Metals Outermost s and nearby f sublevels contain electrons
Movement of Electrons 1A = s1 (1 ve, easily lost) 2A = s2 (2 ve, easily lost) 3A = s2p1 (3 ve, easily lost) 4A = s2p2 (4 valence electrons) 5A = s2p3 (5 ve, 3 gained) 6A = s2p4 (6 ve, 2 gained) 7A = s2p5 (7 ve, 1 gained) 8A = s2p6 (8 valence electrons)
Why do atoms form ions? Representative elements lose or gain electrons in order to obtain the same electron configuration as a noble gas
Before • Na • 1s22s22p63s1 • B • 1s22s22p1 • P • 1s22s22p63s23p5 • F • 1s22s22p5
After • Na1+ • 1s22s22p6 (Ne) • B3+ • 1s2 (He) • P3- • 1s22s22p63s23p6 (Ar) • F1- • 1s22s22p6 (Ne)
Charges of Ions 1A = 1+ 2A = 2+ 3A = 3+ 5A = 3- 6A = 2- 7A = 1-
Trends in Ionization Energy and Electron Affinity Ionization energy = amount of energy needed to remove an electron from an atom (J) Increases as you go UP a group Increases as you go across a period (left to right)
Ionization Energy cont. • Increases up a group • Hard to remove electrons close to the nucleus • Increases across a period • Hard to remove electrons from small atoms
Electronegativity Tendency for the atoms of the element to attract electrons when they are chemically combined with another element (form a negative ion) Each atom is assigned an electronegativity value
Increases up a group • Closer outer energy levels attract electrons more • Increases across a period (left to right)
