The Periodic Table YOU WILL WRITE WHAT IS RED INTO YOUR NOTES
2
Why is the Periodic Table important? The periodic table is the most useful tool to a chemist. It allows predictions about how a substance or element will react. It organizes a lot of useful information about all the known elements.
3
Pre-Periodic Table Chemistry … …was a mess!!! No organization of elements. Imagine going to a grocery store with no organization!! Difficult to find information. Chemistry didn’t make sense.
4
Dmitri Mendeleev: Father of the Table Mendeleev video Mendeleev HOW HIS WORKED… Put elements in rows by increasing atomic weight. Put elements in columns by the way they reacted. SOME PROBLEMS… He left blank spaces for what he said were undiscovered elements. (Turned out he was right!) He broke the pattern of increasing atomic weight to keep similar reacting elements together.
5
The Current Periodic Table Mendeleev wasn’t too far off. Now the elements are put in rows by increasing ATOMIC NUMBER!! Now the elements are put in rows by increasing ATOMIC NUMBER!! The horizontal rows are called periods and are labeled from 1 to 7. The horizontal rows are called periods and are labeled from 1 to 7. The vertical columns are called groups are labeled from 1 to 18. The vertical columns are called groups are labeled from 1 to 18.

Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
7
Groups…Here’s Where the Periodic Table Gets Useful!! Elements in the same group have similar chemical and physical properties!! (Mendeleev did that on purpose.) Why?? valence electrons;They have the same number of valence electrons; the electrons located on the outer orbital.
8
Valance Electrons Looking at your Periodic Table’s columns, what element is this?
9
Families on the Periodic Table Valence Electrons Columns are grouped into families; Valence Electrons Families have names rather than numbers. (Just like your family has a common last name.) Families

Knowledge Keeps you Alive By understanding where the elements are located in the periodic table, you can make very experienced predictions as to how they will act with other element or compounds.

Hydrogen Hydrogen belongs to a family of its own. Hydrogen is a explosive, reactive gas. Hydrogen was involved in the explosion of the Hindenberg. Hydrogen is promising as an alternative fuel source for automobiles Hindenburg Video Hindenburg Video Colour Hydrogen Brown on your P.T.

Alkali Metals (1 Valance e - ) 1 st column on the periodic table (Group 1) not including hydrogen. Very reactive metals, always combined with something else in nature (like in salt) Ex. NaCl or KCl Soft enough to cut with a butter knife Brainiacs Alkali Metals Video Alkali Metals VideoAlkali Metals Video Colour the Alkali Family Blue Video

Making Molecules Molecules are MULTI-ATOM particles. They are the smallest particle of a substance that still keeps the characteristic properties of that substance. They are the smallest particle of a substance that still keeps the characteristic properties of that substance. It is composed of 2 or more atoms. It is composed of 2 or more atoms. A compound forms when two or more elements are bonded. A compound forms when two or more elements are bonded.
22
How do they stay together? Because atoms are made of electrical charges (positives and negatives); they are either attracted to each other, or repelled from one another – like magnets. Because atoms are made of electrical charges (positives and negatives); they are either attracted to each other, or repelled from one another – like magnets. The atom’s valance electrons dictate which element it will be attracted to. The atom’s valance electrons dictate which element it will be attracted to.

Chemical Formulas The elements found in chemical formulas easily show which elements are present and how many. The elements found in chemical formulas easily show which elements are present and how many. By either knowing an elements symbol, or having a periodic table around you can make excellent choices as to what is found in each molecule or compound.

Family Relationships 1a) What are the 7 Alkali Metals that will easily bond with Fluorine? Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, Francium b) What other elements in the Halogen Family with bond with any of the Alkali Metals? Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine c) Will any of the Elements in the Alkaline Earth Metals bond with any of the Halogens? Explain. Sure. Because all of the A.E.M.s have 2 valence electrons, any two of the halogens would bond with any of them.
