History of the periodic table

Newlsands

John Newlands (1837, English) Law of Octaves (every 8th element was

grouped together) Ordered elements by atomic mass

Mendeleev

Dmitri Mendeleev (1869, Russian) Also organized elements

by increasing atomic mass.

Elements with similar properties were grouped together.

Mendeleev

Dmitri Mendeleev (1869, Russian) Predicted properties of undiscovered

elements.

Moseley

Henry Mosely (1913, British)

Organized elements by increasing atomic number.

Resolved discrepancies in Mendeleev’s arrangement.

This is the way the current Periodic Table is arranged.

Metallic Character

Metals

Most of the periodic table is made of metals!

Form positive ions Metals are good conductors of

heat and electricity Metals are malleable Metals are ductile Metals have high tensile

strength Metals have luster

Examples of MetalsExamples of Metals

Potassium, K reacts with water and must be stored in kerosene

Zinc, Zn, is more stable than potassium

Copper, Cu, is a relatively soft metal, and a very good electrical conductor.

Mercury, Hg, is the only metal that exists as a liquid at room temperature

PropertiesProperties of Nonmetalsof Nonmetals

Nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electricity Nonmetals tend to be brittle Many nonmetals are gases at room temperature

Examples of NonmetalsExamples of Nonmetals

Sulfur, S, was once known as “brimstone”

Microspheres of phosphorus, P, a reactive nonmetal

Graphite is not the only pure form of carbon, C. Diamond is also carbon; the color comes from impurities caught within the crystal structure

PropertiesProperties of of MetalloidsMetalloids

Metalloids straddle the border between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.

They have properties of both metals and nonmetals.Metalloids are more brittle than metals, less brittle than most nonmetallic solids Metalloids are semiconductors of electricity Some metalloids possess metallic luster

Silicon, Si – A MetalloidSilicon, Si – A Metalloid

Silicon has metallic luster Silicon is brittle like a nonmetal Silicon is a semiconductor of electricity

Other metalloids include: Boron, B Germanium, Ge Arsenic, As Antimony, Sb Tellurium, Te

Metals vs. Nonmetals

Metals Nonmetals

Luster High-shiny Dull

Conductor Good for heat and electricity poor

Malleable Yes-hammered into sheets No-brittle

Ductile Yes-pulled into wires No-brittle

Melting point High Low

Density High low

When elements are arranged in order of

increasing atomic #, elements with similar

Atomic Radius Increases to the LEFT and DOWN

Atomic Radius

Why larger going down?

Higher energy levels have larger orbitals

Shielding - core e- block the attraction between the nucleus and the valence e-

Why smaller to the right?

Increased nuclear charge without additional shielding pulls e- in tighter

Ionization Energy

Why opposite of atomic radius?

In small atoms, e- are close to the nucleus where the attraction is stronger

Why small jumps within each group?

Stable e- configurations don’t want to lose e-

Periodic TableHydrogen: most abundant gas in the universe, 1 valence electron, often exists as a single proton.

Alkali Metals: 1 valence electron, forms +1 ion, most reactive metals, combine with halogens to form salts. Soft silvery white. Most reactive is at the bottom.

Alkaline Earth Metals: 2 valence electrons, +2 ion

Transition Metals: multiple charges, bright colored, used in building, coins, and jewelry

Halogens: “Salt formers”, 7 valence electrons, -1 ion, most reactive nonmetals

Noble Gases: all have full valence shell of 8 electrons, except He which has 2. Inert (unreactive) gases.

Rare Earth or Inner Transition Metals:

Many synthetic, rare, or radioactive elements. Divided into Lanthanides and Actinides
