Monday February 8th, 2016
By the end of the day, Scholars will be able to:
Starter:
Write the name and symbols of elements 47, 50, 53, 54, 55, 56, 79, 80, 87, 92. Quiz on Thursday!
Explain how the periodic table was formed.
compare/contrast metals, nonmetals & metalloids.
And answer a question like this:
What are the properties of most metals?
Topic: The History and Arrangement of the Periodic Table
8-10 minutes

2. Arranging Things
One way to organize a large group of objects is to arrange them into groups of similar objects. This is how scientists organize all of the many elements. Practice the skill of categorizing by arranging the magazines listed below into similar groups.

3. 1. Arrange the magazines into similar groups.
2. What criteria did you use for grouping the magazines?
3. Once you arrange the magazines into groups, could you sort the material further to make it even more organized?

4. Dmitri Mendeleev
In his periodic table, Mendeleev arranged elements in rows by increasing atomic mass.
He was able to predict new elements:
Mendeleev left spaces in his table to make the pattern fit.
He used the spaces to successfully predict the existence and properties of the elements not yet discovered.

5. The Modern Periodic Table
Our modern periodic table has changed.
How do you think it is arranged?
When the elements are arranged by atomic number, elements that have similar properties appear at regular intervals.
Periodic law: the law that states that the repeating chemical and physical properties of the elements change periodically with the atomic numbers of the elements.

6. Periodic Table Key Terms
Vocabulary
Ductile – can be drawn into a wire
Lustrous – shiny
Malleable – can be hammered into sheets
Conductive – ability to transfer heat/electricity
Magnetic – attracted by a magnet.
Brittle – hard and breakable
Group or Family – vertical column on Periodic Table; elements in a group share chemical properties
Period – row on Periodic Table; elements become less metallic across each period

7. Organization of the Periodic Table
Metals
Nonmetals
Metalloids
Periods
Families

8. Metals Po

9. Metals

10. Metals form positive ions (cations)
lustrous, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity, can be magnetic
located to the left of metal/nonmetal dividing line

11. Why do metals form positively charged ions?
All atoms are more stable if they can get a full outer shell of electrons.
For metals, this is done by losing electrons.
If the ion now has fewer electrons, its charge will be positive.

12. Sodium-23 P = 11 N = 12 E = 11 To get a full outer shell of electrons,
sodium would like to lose 1 electron.

13. Na+ Sodium-23 ion P+ = 11 E- = 10 1+ overall charge So, sodium forms a
Let’s count protons and electrons now.

14. Metal/Nonmetal Dividing Line

15. Metalloids (Semimetals)

16. Metalloids/Semi-metals

17. Metalloids Qualities between metals and nonmetals
touching a full side on metal/nonmetal dividing line (exception: aluminum, which is a metal)

18. Nonmetals

19. Nonmetals Form negative ions (anions)
brittle, not lustrous, not malleable, not ductile, poor conductors of heat and electricity, not magnetic
found to the right of metal/nonmetal dividing line

20. Nonmetals

21. Why do nonmetals form negatively charged ions?
All atoms are more stable if they can get a full outer shell of electrons.
For nonmetals, this is done by gaining electrons.
If the ion now has extra electrons, its charge will be negative.

22. Oxygen - 15 (a nonmetal) P = 8 N = 7 E = 8
To get a full outer shell of electrons,
oxygen would like to gain 2 electrons.

23. O-2 Oxygen – 15 ion So, oxygen forms a P+ = 8 –2 ion. E- = 10
2- overall charge P8 N7
O-2
When this happens,
we can recount protons and electrons..

25. Periodic Puzzle
For this activity, you will sort the aliens into their own periodic table that has 8 groups/families and 5 rows.
All elements in each group will be exactly the same in some way (Key Similarity) AND must share some feature that changes regularly as you move down the group (Varying Trait)
All elements in the row must be exactly the same as you move across the period AND must also share some feature that changes regularly as you move across the row.
