Chapter 5 The Periodic Table Section 5.1 Organizing the Elements Section 5.2 The Modern Periodic Table Section 5.3 Representative Groups
Section 5.1 Organizing the Elements • The Search for Order • The placement of elements on the periodic table reveals the link between the atomic structure of elements and their properties.
Section 5.1 Organizing the Elements • The Search for Order • As # of known elements grew, the need to organize them did also. • Antoine Lavoisier (1789), French chemist: grouped known elements into categories: metals, nonmetals, gases, and earths • Dmitri Mendeleev, Russian chemist/teacher:found a way to organize the elements
Section 5.1 Organizing the Elements • Mendeleev’s Periodic Table: Mendeleev’s Proposal • Used deck of cards (4 columns); break the elements into rows • Key Concept: Mendeleev arranged the elements into rows in order of increasing mass so that elements with similar properties were in the same column.
Section 5.1 Organizing the Elements • Mendeleev’s Proposal • Periodic table-an arrangement of elements in columns, based on a set of properties that repeat from row to row
Section 5.1: Organizing the Elements • Mendeleev’s Prediction • Some elements that had not been discovered yet, he left spaces for; also predicted the properties for them
Figure 3 Mendeleev’s Table of Elements (1872)
Section 5.1 Organizing the Elements • Evidence Supporting Mendeleev’s Table • Key Concept: The close match between Mendeleev’s predictions and the actual properties of new elements showed how useful his periodic table could be.
Section 5.1 Organizing the Elements • Evidence Supporting Mendeleev’s Table • With the periodic table, chemists could do more than predict properties of new elements • They could explain the chemical behavior of different groups of elements
Section 5.2 The Modern Periodic Table • The Periodic Law • You can use the modern periodic table to classify elements and to compare their properties. • Key Concept: In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged by increasing atomic number (# of protons)
Figure 7 Periodic Table of Elements
Section 5.2 The Modern Periodic Table • The Periodic Law: Periods • Period-each row in the table of elements • # of elements per period varies b/c # of orbitals increases from energy level to energy level • Ex. Period 1 (H and He); Period 2 (Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, and Ne)
Section 5.2 The Modern Periodic Table • The Periodic Law: Groups • Group-each column on the periodic table • Key Concept: Properties of elements repeat in a predictable way when atomic numbers are used to arrange elements into groups.
Section 5.2 The Modern Periodic Table • The Periodic Law: Groups • Elements in group have same electron configuration • **Electron configuration determines element’s chemical properties • Members of a group have similar chemical properties • Periodic law-pattern of repeating properties
Section 5.2 The Modern Periodic Table • Atomic Mass • Key Concept: Atomic mass is a value that depends on the distribution of an element’s isotopes in nature and the masses of those isotopes.
Section 5.2 The Modern Periodic Table • Atomic Mass: Atomic Mass Units • To have a simple way to compare the masses of atoms, scientists chose 1 isotope to serve as a standard. • Assigned 12 atomic units to carbon-12 atom (6 protons and 6 neutrons) • **Atomic mass unit (amu)-one twelfth of a carbon-12 atom
Section 5.2 The Modern Periodic Table • Atomic Mass: Isotopes of Chlorine and Weighted Averages • Most elements exist in nature exist as a mix of 2 or more isotopes. • 2 natural isotopes of chlorine (Chlorine-35 and Chlorine-37); Chlorine 37 has more neutrons (greater mass) • Atomic mass of 35.453; atomic masses of the isotopes get averaged together
Figure 9 Isotopes of Chlorine
Section 5.2 The Modern Periodic Table • Classes of Elements • Periodic table- 3 ways to classify elements • Solids (black),liquids (purple), or gases (red) • Elements are divided into those that occur naturally (1-92) and those that don’t (93 and higher) • Based on general properties: Key Concept: Elements are classified as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.
Figure 7 Periodic Table of Elements
Section 5.2 The Modern Periodic Table • Classes of Elements: Metals (Blue) • Def.-elements that are good conductors of electric current and heat. • Majority of elements are metals. • Some extremely reactive, some don’t react easily • Transition metals (Groups 3-12)-elements that form a bridge b/t the elements on the left and right sides of the periodic table
Section 5.2 The Modern Periodic Table • Classes of Elements: Nonmetals (Yellow/Orange) • Have properties opposite of metals • Def.-elements that are poor conductors of heat and electric current • Have low boiling points=many are gas at room temp.
Section 5.2 The Modern Periodic Table • Classes of Elements: Metalloids (Green) • Def.-elements with properties that fall between those of metals and nonmetals • Ability to conduct electric current varies with temperature.
Section 5.2 The Modern Periodic Table • Variation Across a Period • Key Concept: Across a period (row) from left to right, the elements become less metallic and more nonmetallic in their properties. • Most reactive metals-left side • Most reactive nonmetals-right side
Figure 7 Periodic Table of Elements
Section 5.3 Representative Groups • Valence Electrons • The # of an A group matches the # of valence electrons in an electron configuration for an element in that group. • Def.-an electron that is in the highest occupied energy level of an atom
Section 5.3 Representative Groups • Valence Electrons • Valence electrons play a key role in chemical reactions. • **Properties vary across a period (row) b/c the number of valence electrons increases from left to right. • Key Concept: Elements in a group have similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.
Figure 7 Periodic Table of Elements
Section 5.3 Representative Groups • The Alkali Metals-Group 1A • Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr • Have one valence electron • Are extremely reactive; found in nature only as compounds • Key Concept: The reactivity of alkali metals increases from the top of Group 1A to the bottom.
Section 5.3 Representative Groups • The Alkaline Earth Metals-Group 2A • Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra • Have 2 valence electrons • Harder than Group 1A metals • Key Concept: Differences in reactivity among the alkaline earth metals are shown by the ways they react with water (ex. Ca, Sr, Ba-cold water) and (Mg-hot water) • Mg & Ca-essential for biological functions and provide materials used in construction and transportation
Section 5.3 Representative Groups • The Boron Family-Group 3A • Have 3 valence electrons • B, Al, Ga, In, Tl • Key Concept: Aluminum is the most abundant metal in Earth’s crust. • Al-car parts, packaging, airplanes • B-glass that does not shatter easily w/ rapid temp. change (lab glassware)
Section 5.3 Representative Groups • The Carbon Family-Group 4A • C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb • Have 4 valence electrons • Metallic nature of group increases from top to bottom (conductivity) • Life on Earth would not exist w/o Carbon • Key Concept: Except for water, most of the compounds in your body contain carbon. • Silicon-the 2nd most abundant element in the Earth’s crust
Section 5.3 Representative Groups • The Nitrogen Family-Group 5A • N, P, As, Sb, Bi • Have 5 valence electrons • Includes elements w/ wide range of physical properties • N & P-most important • Key Concept: Besides nitrogen, fertilizers often contain phosphorus.
Section 5.3 Representative Groups • The Oxygen Family-Group 6A • O, S, Se, Te, Po • Have 6 valence electrons • Key Concept: Oxygen is the most abundant element in the Earth’s crust. • Complex forms of life need O to live. • Ex. Oxygen tanks, ozone layer • S-used in fertilizers
Section 5.3 Representative Groups • The Halogens-Group 7A • F, Cl, Br, I, At • Have 7 valence electrons • Key Concept: Despite their physical differences, the halogens have similar chemical properties. Pg. 144 • Highly reactive nonmetals; reactivity decreases from top to bottom (F) • F-prevents tooth decay, Cl-kills bacteria, and I-thyroid gland function
Section 5.3 Representative Groups • The Noble Gases-Group 8A • He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn • He has 2 valence electrons; all other have 8 valence electrons • Key Concept: The noble gases are colorless and odorless and extremely unreactive. • Ex. Argon-light bulbs; all are used in neon lights except Radon • He-pink, Ne orange-red, Ar-lavender, Kr-white, Xe-blue
