Organizing the Elements • By 1700, only 13 elements had been identified. • As more elements were discovered, the need to organize them increased. • Chemists used common properties of elements to group them.
Dimitri Mendeleev • Chemistry professor who was working on a textbook for his students. • Arranged ~60 known elements by atomic mass. • Noticed a repeating pattern.
The Pattern • Every so often, this pattern would repeat: • Reactive gas, nonreactive gas, very reactive metal • Mendeleev was so convinced of these patterns that he predicted that there existed elements that hadn’t been discovered yet, because of “holes” in the patterns. • Later, gallium and germanium were discovered, and they fit in these holes, validating Mendeleev’s periodic table.
Mendeleev or Meyer? • A German scientist, Lothar Meyer, also made a table similar to Mendeleev. • Mendeleev’s predictions of not yet discovered elements proved to be superior.
Periodic Law • Mendeleev arranged the elements by atomic mass. • However, he switched iodine and tellurium, because iodine behaved like fluorine and chlorine. • He assumed that the atomic mass of iodine was incorrect.
Periodic Law • The atomic mass wasn’t incorrect, but rather, the periodic table works best when arranged by atomic number as opposed to atomic mass. • Henry Moseley introduced this idea in 1913.
Periodic Law • The periodic law states that when atoms are arranged by atomic number, properties repeat. • Specifically, atoms in the same column have very similar properties.
Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids • Metals are • Nonmetals are on the right side of the stair-step line (with the exception of H)
Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids • Metals are • Metalloids border the stair-step line, but Al is considered to be a metal.
Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids • Metals are • Metals are on the left side of the stair-step line.
Periodic Table • The periodic table is organized by periods (rows) and groups or families(columns). • The groups are organized by two letters, A and B. • The number before “A” represents the number of valence electrons, or outer electrons. • The number before “B” includes the d-shell electrons • Valence electrons determine nearly everything about chemical bonding, and ALL OF CHEMISTRY. I’m not kidding. This is important.
Periodic Table • All elements in a group have similar chemical properties. The “A” elements have their valence electrons in the s and p orbitals. • Group 1A – alkali metals • Group 2A – alkaline earth metals • Group 3A – boron group • Group 4A – carbon group • Group 5A – nitrogen group • Group 6A – chalcogens • Group 7A – halogens • Group 8A – noble gases
Periodic Table • The metals in the d-block are collectively known as the transition metals. • The metals in the f-block are collectively known as the rare earth metals • The top row elements are the lanthanides • The bottom row elements are the actinides
Review – Aufbau Principle • The order in which orbitals fill up based on their energies. • Lowest energy gets filled up first. • Recall the “diagonal chart” • 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d…
Electron Configurations and the Periodic Table • The fact that elements have similar properties within the same column is no coincidence. • Valence electrons determine chemical properties and bonding trends. • Therefore, elements with the same number of valence electrons will act in similar ways. • Alkali metal reactivity w/ water
Group A Electron Configurations • The valence electrons in group A are the sum of the s and p electrons.
“Stable Octet” • Having a completely full valence shell (s2p6) is a very stable configuration. • Atoms will lose or gain electrons to be like the noble gases, or have 8 valence electrons. • Called a stable octet • Hydrogen/helium will have a stable duet (2 electrons) because there is no p orbital in the first energy level. • This makes each column of the periodic table have predictable ionic charges.
Common Ionic Charges • Groups 1A-3A will lose electrons to be gain a noble gas configuration • Groups 5A-7A will gain electrons to gain a noble gas configuration
Practice • What is the electron configuration for a neutral atom of oxygen? • What is the electron configuration for the oxide anion, O2-? • What is the electron configuration for the noble gas neon?
Isoelectronic Series • Atoms and ions with the same number of electrons are called isoelectronic. • Example: Neon has 10 electrons • Fluoride: F- : 9 + 1 = 10 • Sodium ion: Na+ : 11 – 1 = 10 • F-, Ne, Na+ are isoelectronic because all three species have 10 electrons, and the same electron configuration as a result. • 1s22s22p6
