THE MODERN PERIODIC TABLE
2
Modern Periodic Table
3
Mendeleev 1869 – Dmitri Mendeleev published the first periodic table
4
Mendeleev Born in Siberia, the last of 14-17 children
Father blind, mother ran glass factory When he finished high school, his father died and the factory burnt down
5
Mendeleev His mother took him to St. Petersburg to study science
Denied admission to the university, he studied at a school for teachers
6
Mendeleev In time, he became a professor of chemistry at the U. of St. Petersburg While writing a chemistry textbook, he developed the periodic table
7
Mendeleev Where a gap existed in his table, he predicted a new element would be found and deduced its properties He was right. Three elements were found during his lifetime Ga, Sc, Ge
8
Mendeleev The discovered elements provided the strongest support for his periodic table It is a cornerstone in chemistry and in our understanding of how the universe is put together
9
Mendeleev Mendeleev’s table arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic mass
10
Modern Periodic Table Square of the periodic table contains an
Square of the periodic table contains an element’s atomic #, chemical symbol, atomic mass
11
Modern Periodic Table The elements in each group have the same number of valence electrons
12
METALS Most elements are metals 88 elements in total
13
Physical Properties of Metals
Luster (shininess) Good conductors of heat and electricity High density (heavy for their size) High melting point Some metals (Fe, Co and Ni) are magnetic
14
Physical Properties of Metals
Ductile (most metals can be drawn out into thin wires) Malleable (most metals can be hammered into thin sheets)
15
Chemical Properties of Metals
Metals show a wide range of chemical properties Reactivity – ease and speed with which an element combines or reacts Group 1 and 17 VERY reactive
16
Chemical Properties of Metals
Some metals are very reactive, some do not react easily Alloy – mixture of metals Examples: bronze, brass, stainless steel
17
Chemical Properties of Metals
Easily lose electrons (Group 1 and 2) Corrode easily. Corrosion is a gradual wearing away Examples of corrosion: silver tarnishing and iron rusting
18
Families of Metals
19
Group 1 – Alkali Metals
20
Group 1 – Alkali Metals One valence electron
Most reactive of all metals Soft Low densities Low melting point
21
Group 1 – Alkali Metals Na, K Na compounds in found in sea water
Na and K both essential for life
22
Group 1 – Alkali Metals
23
Group 2 – Alkaline Earth Metals
Two valence electrons Group 2 Very reactive
24
Group 2 – Alkaline Earth Metals
Magnesium and calcium are common alkaline earth metals Calcium compounds make up much of your bones and teeth
25
Group 2 – Alkaline Earth Metals
26
Transition Metals
27
Transition Metals Elements in Groups 3 – 12
Bridge between very reactive metals on left side and less reactive metals on the right side
28
Rare Earth Metals Two rows on the bottom of the table
Lanthanides and Actinides Lanthanides are soft, shiny metals with high conductivity Actinides are all radioactive.
29
NONMETALS Nonmetals are found to the right of the stair step line - 17 elements in total Make up most of the human body (oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen)
30
Physical Properties of Nonmetals
The physical properties of nonmetals are opposite to those of metals
31
Physical Properties of Nonmetals
No luster (dull appearance) Poor conductor of heat and electricity Brittle (breaks easily) Not ductile Many are gases at room temperature
32
Physical Properties of Nonmetals
Not malleable Low density Low melting point Elements in this group have one valence electron How does this affect their reactivity? It makes them VERY REACTIVE.
33
Chemical Properties on Nonmetals
Have many electrons in their highest energy level (shell) Form negative ions Gain electrons Noble gases do not react with other elements (OUTER SHELL IS FULL)
34
Chemical Properties of Nonmetals
Diatomic molecule – when nonmetals form molecules of two identical atoms H H
35
METALLOIDS Elements that border the zigzag line
Have properties of both metals and nonmetals 7 in total Silicon, Boron, Antimony, Arsenic, Tellurium
36
Physical Properties of Metalloids
Solids Can be shiny or dull Conduct heat and electricity better than nonmetals, but not as well as metals
37
Chemical Properties of Metalloids
Tend to gain and lose electrons React with metals to form salts Some act like metals, some act like nonmetals
38
Carbon Group Carbon is the only nonmetal in Group 14
Two common forms – graphite and diamond Each element has four valence electrons
39
Group 15 – Nitrogen Group N and P are nonmetals N makes up 80% of air
N is essential to life
40
Group 17 -- Halogens Halogens combine with metals to form salts
Have 7 valence electrons MOST REACTIVE of NON-metals
42
Group 18 – The Noble Gases Colorless gases Do not bond or combine with other elements Outer electron shell is full
43
Group 18 – The Noble Gases He is the second lightest gas
44
Hydrogen H does not fit in with any group
(yet can be in either GROUP 1 or GROUP 17) Reacts easily with other elements
45
QUIZ YOURSELF! What are the rows across the periodic table called? Answer: PERIODS
46
QUIZ YOURSELF! What is the term for the vertical columns in the Periodic Table? Answer: Groups or Families
47
QUIZ YOURSELF! How are the elements arranged in the periodic table?
In order of increasing atomic number
48
QUIZ YOURSELF! ALKALI METALS -- GROUP 1
What is the most reactive group of metals? ALKALI METALS -- GROUP 1
