The Periodic Table Chemistry Fall 2013
Periodic Table Developed by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869 Originally ordered by atomic mass Today ordered by atomic number Ordered left to right by increasing atomic number Question: How is the periodic table ordered?
Element C Carbon atomic number average atomic mass Element symbol Element name 66
Atomic Mass Not the same as mass number Average mass of one atom of the element Question: Why is atomic mass not a simple whole number?
AtomAtomic number Mass Number # Protons# Neutrons# Electrons Top Number Protons + Neutrons Same as atomic # Mass #- Protons Same as atomic # (unless ion) Li37343 O Ca
Metal/Semimetal/Nonmetal Metal Semimetal(metalloid) Nonmetal
Metals Thermally/electrically conductive (allows heat and electricity to travel through. Malleable, ductile High density Lustrous (shiny) GalliumGold
Nonmetal Poor conductor of heat and electricity Brittle Low density Dull Iodine Bromine
Semimetal Also known as metalloids Properties of both metals and nonmetals Often are semiconductors Silicon Antimony
Question: Compare and contrast metals, semimetals, and nonmetals.
Organization Periods: horizontal rows (left and right) Groups/Families: vertical columns (up and down) Similar chemical properties Similar chemical properties Group # Group name Examples 1 Alkali metals Li, Na, K, Rb 2 Alkaline earth metals Be, Mg, Ca, Sr 3-12 Transition metals Fe, Ni, Zn, Ag 16Chalcogens O, S, Se, Te 17Halogens F, Cl, Br, I 18 Noble gases He, Ne, Ar, Kr Question: What is the significance of being in the same group?
