  1. Periodic Trends:The basics CHEMISTRY 11 May 6, 2010

  2. The Periodic Table • The chemist Dmitri Mendeleev gave the first major attempt at organizing the elements by their physical and chemical properties • Дми́трий Менделе́ев

  3. The Periodic Law • Mendeleev saw patterns in the chlorides each element made as well as the mass of each element • Each column in a periodic table contains elements with very similar properties • HEBDEN p. 160 • The properties of the chemical elements recur periodically when arranged from lowest to highest atomic number

  4. Major Families in the Periodic Table • Alkali metals – Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr • Alkaline-Earth metals – Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra • Halogens – F, Cl, Br, I, At • Chalcogens – O, S, Se, Te, Po • Noble gases – He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn • Transition metals – All d-block elements • Lanthanides – All 4f elements (with La) • Actinides – All 5f elements (with Ac) • Transactinides - 6d and 7p elements

  5. Properties of Elements in Major Families • Each family contains elements which have roughly the same properties and appearance • Mendeleev used these properties to predict elements we know today • The properties are still used to predict the behaviour of the newest elements (e.g.: Transactinides  Rf, Ha, Sg, Bh, Hs, Mt, Ds, Rg, Cp)

  6. Properties of Elements in Major Families • In addition to these “chemical families”, there are three major groupings in the periodic table

  7. Properties of Elements in Major Families NON-METALS B SEMICONDUCTORS METALS Si Ge As Se Sb Te

  8. Metal, Non-metal, Semiconductor • Metals conduct heat and electricity very well • Metals tend to lose electrons (+ ion) • Semiconductors conduct heat and electricity somewhat • Non-metals do not conduct electricity nor heat very well • Non-metals tend to gain electrons (- ion)

  9. Important Properties • Moving from left to right across the periodic table, elements become less metallic • Elements become more metallic moving down a family in the periodic table • Metallic elements (+ ion) react easily with non-metals (- ion) • The most metallic element is Fr; the least metallic element is F

  10. Metallic Character INCREASING METALLIC CHARACTER

  11. Properties of Elements in Major Families NON-METALS B SEMICONDUCTORS METALS Si Ge As Se Sb Te

  12. Question • Look at the group 14 elements: C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb • Which of these elements are metals, non-metals, or semiconductors? • Are there any chalcogens that are semiconductors? • Are there any halogens that are semiconductors?
