Mendeleev’s Periodic Table◦ How did Mendeleev organize his periodic table? Mendeleev organized elements into a periodic table. This table arranged elements into groups based on a
set of repeating properties and according to increasing atomic mass.
He used the periodic table to predict the properties of undiscovered elements.

The Periodic Law◦ How is the modern periodic table organized? In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged in
order of increasing atomic number.
6.1
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.

Metals, Metalloids, and Nonmetals in the Periodic Table
6.1
◦ Metals Metals are good conductors of heat and electric
current. 80% of elements are metals. All metals are solids at room temperature except mercury,
which is a liquid. Metals have a high luster, are ductile, and are malleable.

◦ Nonmetals In general, nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and
electric current. Most nonmetals are gases at room temperature. A few nonmetals are solids, such as sulfur and
phosphorus. One nonmetal, bromine, is a dark-red liquid.

Metals, Metalloids, and Nonmetals in the Periodic Table
6.1
◦ Metalloids A metalloid generally has properties that are similar to
those of metals and nonmetals. The behavior of a metalloid can be controlled by
changing conditions. Metalloids are also known as semi-metals.

configuration = valence electrons.

metals and inner transition metals. They are classified based on their electron configurations.

Sodium chloride (table salt) produced the geometric pattern in the photograph. Such a pattern can be used to calculate the position of nuclei in a solid. You will learn how properties such as atomic size are related to the location of elements in the periodic table.
6.3
Trends in Atomic Size◦ What are the trends among the elements for atomic
size? The atomic radius is one half of the distance
between the nuclei of two atoms of the same element when the atoms are joined.
6.3
2/15/2013
27
◦ Group and Periodic Trends in Atomic Size In general, atomic size increases from top to bottom
within a group and decreases from left to right across a period. Down a group, atomic size increases due to additional
energy levels. Across a period atomic size decreases due to increasing
nuclear charge.

Some compounds are composed of particles called ions. An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has a positive or
negative charge. A cation is an ion with a positive charge. An anion is an ion with a negative charge.
6.3
Trends in Ionization Energy◦ What are the trends among the elements for first
ionization energy, ionic size, and electronegativity? 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 a second electron is called
the second ionization energy.
6.3
2/15/2013
31
◦ Group and Periodic Trends in Ionization Energy First ionization energy tends to decrease from top to
bottom within a group and increase from left to right across a period. Down a group increasing levels of electrons shield the
effect of the nucleus therefore reducing energy needed to remove an outer electron.
Across a period there in no increase in energy levels, and increasing nuclear charge makes it more difficult to remove an outer electron.

Trends in Ionic Size◦ During reactions between metals and nonmetals,
metal atoms tend to lose electrons, and nonmetal atoms tend to gain electrons. The transfer has a predictable effect on the size of the ions that form. Cations are always smaller than the atoms from which
they form. Anions are always larger than the atoms from which
they form.

Trends in Electronegativity◦ Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract
electrons to itself when it is in involved in a bond. In general, electronegativity values decrease from top
to bottom within a group, and increase from left to right across a period. Electronegativity decreases down a group because of
increasing atomic size and the shielding effect of inner level electrons.
Electronegativity increases across a period because of decreasing atomic size and increasing nuclear charge.
6.3
Summary of Trends◦ What is the underlying cause of periodic trends? Periodic trends can be explained by variations in
atomic structure, nuclear charge, and shielding effect.
