TRANSCRIPT
• In 1869, Dimitri Mendeleev arranged all of the known elements in order of increasing atomic mass and chemical properties of the atoms. He found a pattern that exists and is repeated, or is periodic, in all the elements.

Henry Moseley’s modern periodic table is arranged in order of increasing atomic number and would look like this if we didn’t move the rare earth elements to below
The Periodic Law
•The periodic law: When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical properties.
– The properties of the elements within a period change as you move across a period from left to right.
– The pattern of properties within a period repeats as you move from one period to the next.
Searching For an Organizing Principle
Chlorine, bromine, and iodine have very similar chemical properties.
IsoelectronicIons with the same electronic configuration as a noble gas
are said to be isoelectronic with a noble gas.
• The pattern exists because there is a pattern in the valance electrons.
• The pattern is…Atoms in the 1st column have 1 valance e-
“ 2nd “ 2 valance e-
“ 3rd “ 3 valance e-
• Valance e- are in the outer orbit– They are responsible for the atoms chemical &
physical properties– Atoms are most stable when their outer orbit is
either completely full or empty.
• Periodic - repeats according to a pattern– Patterns on the p chart are caused by patterns
in the e- configurations
s11st
Highest orbital# of e-Group
s22nd
p13rd
p24th
p35th
p46th
p57th
p68th
The atoms in the 8th column have full energy levels (noble gasses)
• The valence e- are responsible for the elements chemical and physical properties
• Ex)
Li 1s22s1
Na 1s22s22p63s1
K 1s22s22p63s23p64s1
Notice that there is only 1 e- in the outermost orbital(They all have one valence e-)
Thus, all elements in a column have similar prop.

MetaloidsTouch the “zig-zag” line
Metals• Left of “zig-zag” line• Metals are…
– Shiny luster– Malleable – Ductile– Good conductors
• Heat & Electricity– Lose their e-
– All of these properties result from loosely held valence electrons in metals
Non-metals• Right of the “zig-zag” line• Non-metals are…
– Usually gas at room temp.– Brittle– Dull– Poor conductors– Gain e-
– Typically gain e-1
– All of these properties result from more tightly held valence electrons in nonmetals
Metalloids• Touch the line• Solids at room temperature
• Sometimes they act like metals, sometimes they act like non-metals - it depends on the conditions such as temp and pressure
• Semi-conductors of electricity
Silicon
Alkali Metals• The most reactive metals• Never found alone, always in a compound• Like to form + ions b/c they tend to lose 1
e- to become stable• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m55kgyApYrY
Alkaline Earth Metals• Reactive, usually produce a base• Always found in a compound• Like to lose 2 e-
Transition ElementsThe “Group B” elements are displayed in the main body of the periodic table. They have electrons
in d sublevels and are all classified as metals.
Inner Transition Metals are found within the Transition Metals and contain
electrons in f sublevels
Boron Family• Likes to lose 3 e-

• Very reactive, used for killing germs• Whenever a metal and a halogen
combine, they form a “salt”
Trends on the periodic table:• Atomic radius - size of the atom• Ionization energy - energy required to
steal an e-
• Electronegativity - tendency for the atom to attract e- when chemically combined with another atom
Summary of Periodic Trends

Ionic radius:
• cations: smaller than their parent atoms• anions: larger than their parent atoms• follows same pattern as atomic radius
Which is larger?

Trends in Ionization Energy
• The energy required to remove an electron from an atom is called ionization energy.
– The energy required to remove the first electron from an atom is called the first ionization energy.
– The energy required to remove an electron from an ion with a 1+ charge is called the second ionization energy.
Ionization energy: I.E. increases

Trends in Electronegativity
• Trends in Electronegativity• Electronegativity is the ability of an atom of an
element to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound.
– In general, electronegativity values decrease from top to bottom within a group. For representative elements, the values tend to increase from left to right across a period.
