Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834 – 1907) Naming Flow Chart Binary Compound Only 2 Elements yes First element is a Metal no yes Only Polyatomic ions yes Metal: Group I, Group II, Boron or Aluminum (include Zinc and Silver) no Name positive ion then negative ion Metal: Group I, Group II, Boron or Aluminum (include Zinc and Silver) no no yes yes no Name metal element, then name nonmetal element change ending to -ide Transition Metal Name metal element, then negative polyatomic ion Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834 – 1907) Arranged elements by increasing atomic mass. Proposed that properties of different elements repeat at regular intervals. 1860’s proposed new arrangements of elements. 1869 Published original periodic table Dmitri Mendeleev was the Russian chemist who invented the periodic table of the elements. He was born in Siberia and was the youngest of 17 children. Mendeleev missed receiving the Nobel prize in chemistry by just one vote in 1906, and died before the next year’s election. Element 101 (discovered in 1955) was named Mendelevium in his honor. Name Transition metal , designate charge with Roman numeral, then name negative polytatomic ion yes Name first nonmetal using Greek prefix if more than one atom. Name following nonmetal use Greek prefix to designate number of atoms and change ending to -ide Name Transition metal , designate charge with Roman numeral, then name nonmetal change ending to –ide
