Where it all is
John Newlands determined a repeating pattern of every 8 elements. He called it the law of octaves. Developed in the 1860’s Dmitri Mendeleev arranged the first on based on Atomic Masses. Henry Moseley Arranged the Modern Periodic Table based on Atomic Number.
Based on increasing atomic number and on electron configurations ◦ Results in repeating chemical and physical properties. Groups or Families ◦ Columns that go up and down. ◦ There are 18 Groups Periods ◦ Rows that go across ◦ There are 7 Periods
Metals ◦ On the left side ◦ Make up ¾ of all elements ◦ Malleable, Ductile, Conduct electricity, form positive ions. NonMetals ◦ On the Right side ◦ Dull, Brittle, Insulators, form negative ions Metalloids (Semimetals) ◦ Found along the staircase between metals and nonmetals, have properties of both.
Highly reactive Replace Hydrogen in Water All have 1 valence electron All are s 1 Forms +1 ions
Very reactive Don’t replace Hydrogen in Water ◦ Readily burn in O 2 when exposed to heat Calcium makes up your bones. Batteries get their name from this group Have 2 Valence electrons ◦ All are s 2 – forms +2 ions
These are the common metals All have d orbitals filling Less reactive then other metals Copper, Silver, and Gold least reactive Forms various positive ions
Have 3 Valence electrons ◦ All are s 2 p 1 ◦ All form +3 ions except Boron which forms a –3 ion One is a metalloid (Boron) The rest are all metals
Carbon family has 4 valence electrons All are s2 p2 Composed of: ◦ one non-metal (Carbon) ◦ Two metaloids (Silicon and Germanium ◦ Two metals (Tin and Lead)
Carbon always forms 4 bonds ◦ All known life based on Carbon Computers function based on Silicon and Germanium’s unique properties ◦ They conduct electricity but not heat Lead and Tin are common metals ◦ Used to be used a lot in food storage
All have 5 valence electrons ◦ All are s2 p3 Composed of: ◦ two nonmetals - Nitrogen and Phosphorous ◦ Two metalloids – Arsenic and Antimony ◦ One metal - Bismuth
Nitrogen: ◦ makes up most of the atmosphere ◦ Critical to plant and animal life ◦ Forms strong bonds that are used in explosives Phosphorous ◦ Critical to plant and animal life
All have 6 valence electrons ◦ All are s2 p4 ◦ Usually form 2 bonds Form – 2 ions (except Polonium +2, +4 ions) Composed of: ◦ 3 nonmetals – Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium ◦ 1 metalloid – Tellerium ◦ 1 metal - Polonium
All have 7 valence electrons ◦ All are s2 p5 ◦ Forms 1 bond Forms – 1 ions All are nonmetals Highly reactive ◦ Never found in nature as single atoms ◦ When pure will form F 2, Cl 2, Br 2, I 2
All have 8 valence electrons ◦ All are s2 p6 ◦ Rarely form bonds Never form ions ◦ Helium, Neon, Argon have never been found in a compound ◦ Krypton, Xenon, Radium can sometimes be forced to form compounds – but these are very unstable
Called Rare Earths ◦ They are rare on earth - Most are manmade All are radioactive All elements greater then Uranium (92) are manmade Some are used in medical research
Atomic Radius – The size of the atom. ◦ Hard to measure due to cloud not being distinct ◦ Smaller Up and Right ◦ Negative Ions Larger ◦ Positive Ions Smaller Ionization Energy – The energy required to remove one electron, the more electrons removed, the more energy required. ◦ Greater Up and Right ◦ Fluorine the highest ◦ Francium the lowest
Electronegativity – The ability of atoms to attract electrons during bonding ◦ Greater Up and Right ◦ Fluorine the Greatest Electronegivity ◦ Francium the Lowest Octet Rule – Atoms Tend to gain, lose or share electrons to have a full (s2, p6) valence shell. Shielding Effect – The ability of inner electrons to shield valence electrons from the nucleus. Increase Down, Across Same
