Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian chemist, noticed that when the elements were arranged by atomic mass, there was a periodic pattern in properties He left blank spaces open for new elements to be discovered He was one of the first to arrange the elements in an organized table His arrangement had its faults though…
4
When new elements were discovered, it became apparent that they didn’t fit into Mendeleev’s table properly When arranged by mass, the properties did not correspond Moseley (1913) – Arranged periodic table by atomic number Elements close to one another have similar properties
6
Periodic Law: there is a periodic repetition of chemical and physical properties of the elements when they are arranged by increasing atomic number
8
Atomic Mass: Approx. the mass of the protons in the element 1 atomic mass unit (amu)= mass of 1 Carbon 12 atom Atomic Number: # of protons in the nucleus The atomic number increases by 1 as you go across a row Also the number of electrons in the element if it is neutral
9
Protons: Positive Charge (+) Neutrons: No Charge Electrons: Negative Charge (-) Protons +Neutrons make up a nucleus Electrons circle around the nucleus in orbitals In general, #protons=#electrons (neutral) Also #neutrons= atomic mass-atomic number If they differ in neutrons, it is called an isotope ▪ C12, C13, C14
11
If elements are ordered in the periodic table by atomic number, then they are also ordered according to the number of electrons they have. The lineup starts with hydrogen, which has one electron. Helium comes next in the first horizontal row because helium has two electrons. Lithium has three.
12
In an atom there are multiple orbitals (think planets) Valence electrons: electrons in the outer most orbital…these determine the chemical properties of the element
13
Period: Horizontal Row (think sentence) Numbered from top to bottom Group/Family: Column/Vertical Numbered from left to right
15
Elements in the same group have characteristics similar to each other, yet different from the other elements in the periodic table. Similarities occur because elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons
16
Periodic table is divided into 4 main groups Representative or main-group elements Transition metals Lanthanide series Actinide series
17
Groups 1A – Alkali metals Very reactive Explosive reactions with water One valence electron All metals Groups 2A – Alkaline Earth Metals Quite reactive Two valence electrons All metals
18
Groups 3A – Boron Family Varies from semi-metallic to non-metallic in properties Three valence electrons Group 4A – Carbon Family Varies from non metallic to metallic in properties Four valence electrons
19
Group 5A – Nitrogen Family Varies from non-metallic to metallic properties Five valence electrons Groups 6A – Oxygen Family Mostly non-metallic Six valence electrons Group 7A – Halogens All are non-metallic and make colorful gases Seven valence electrons
20
Group 8A – Noble gases All non metals and highly unreactive Eight valence electrons Transition metals All have metallic properties Valence number varies Lanthanoids & Actinoids Radioactive, many are non-natural or man-made Valence number varies
22
Metallic Character Element on the left side of the periodic table are metals, while those on the right side are non metals. Elements that touch the dividing line between metals and nonmetals are called metalloids Metallic character increases as you move down a column and across a row to the left
24
Reactivity Reactivity for metallic element increases as you move down a column and across a row to the left ▪ The most reactive metal is Francium (bottom, left corner) Reactivity for nonmetal increases as you move up a column and across a row to the right ▪ The most reactive nonmetal is Fluorine (top, right corner)
26
Ionization Energy 1. The energy needed to remove the outermost electron from an element (increases dramatically with successive removals) 2. Ionization energy depends on the number of valence electrons and the size of the atom ▪ Elements with nearly full valence shells will have higher ionization energy than those with nearly empty valence shells ▪ Larger elements will have a lower ionization energy than smaller elements
27
Ionization energy increases as you move up a column and across a row to the right.
29
Electronegativity (similar trend to ionization) Ability of an element to attract shared electrons to itself Depends on the number of valence electrons and the size of the element Increases as you move up a column and across a row to the right
31
Atomic Radius Close approximation of the relative size of an atom Determined by finding the distance from the center of an atom nucleus to it’s outermost electron Increases as you move down a column ▪ Each step down in a column increases the number of orbitals (electron shells) Increases as you move across a row to the left ▪ Decreasing the number of protons in the nucleus causes the electrons to be held more loosely
33
Ionic Size Size of an atom when electrons are added or removed Electrons removed atom become smaller Electrons added atoms become larger
