Think of all the ways a deck of cards could be laid
out so that the cards form some sort of identifiable
pattern. Illustrate your answers in your science
journal. Write out as many different patterns as you
can.

3. Section 1 Arranging the Elements
Objectives
Describe how Mendeleev arranged elements in the first periodic table.
Explain how elements are arranged in the modern periodic table.
Compare metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their properties and on their location in the periodic table.
Describe the difference between a period and a group.

4. Section 1 Arranging the Elements
Discovering a Pattern
In 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic mass.
Periodic Properties of the Elements When the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic mass, those that had similar properties occurred in a repeating pattern.
These repeating patterns are periodic, meaning that they happen at regular intervals.

Predicting Properties of Missing Elements Mendeleev’s arrangement had gaps in its pattern. Mendeleev predicted that elements yet to be found would fill these gaps. He also predicted the properties of the missing elements.
By 1886, all of the gaps had been filled and Mendeleev’s predictions were right.

6. Changing the Arrangement
Section 1 Arranging the Elements
Changing the Arrangement
A few elements’ properties did not fit in the pattern of Mendeleev’s table.
In 1914, British scientist Henry Moseley found the number of protons—the atomic number—in an atom.
When the elements were arranged by atomic number, they fit the pattern in Mendeleev’s table.

8. The Periodic Table and Classes of Elements
Section 1 Arranging the Elements
The Periodic Table and Classes of Elements
Elements are classified as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids, by their properties.
The number of electrons in the outer energy level of an atom is one characteristic that helps determine which category an element belongs in.
The zigzag line on the periodic table can help you recognize which elements belong in which category.

9. The Periodic Table and Classes of Elements, continued
Section 1 Arranging the Elements
The Periodic Table and Classes of Elements, continued
Metals are found to the left of the zigzag line. Atoms of most metals have few electrons in their outer energy level.
Most metals are shiny, ductile, malleable, and are good conductors of electric current and thermal energy.

The Periodic Table and Classes of Elements, continued
Nonmetals are found to the right of the zigzag line. Atoms of most nonmetals have an almost complete set of electrons in their outer energy level.
Nonmetals are not shiny, ductile, or malleable, and are poor conductors of electric current and thermal energy.

Section 1 Arranging the Elements
The Periodic Table and Classes of Elements, continued
Metalloids are the elements that border the zigzag line. Atoms of metalloids have about half of a complete set of electrons in their outer energy level.
Metalloids have some properties of metals and some properties of nonmetals.
Metalloids are also called semiconductors.

12. Decoding the Periodic Table
Section 1 Arranging the Elements
Decoding the Periodic Table
Each Element is Identified by a Chemical Symbol Each square on the periodic table includes an element’s name, chemical symbol, atomic number, and atomic mass.
For most elements, the chemical symbol has one or two letters. The newest elements have temporary three-letter symbols.

Rows Are Called Periods Each horizontal row of elements is called a period. The chemical and physical properties of elements in a row follow a repeating pattern as you move across the period.
Columns Are Called Groups Each vertical column of elements is called a group. Elements in the same group often have similar chemical and physical properties.

14. Bellringer Think about the following: How do you know a bird

Bellringer
Think about the following: How do you know a bird
is a bird? a kangaroo is a kangaroo? a shark is a
shark? What characteristics of each animal help you
to tell them apart? How does this apply to elements?
Record your answers in your science journal.
