6.1 Organizing the Elements Mendeleev, Periodic Law, metals, nonmetals, metalloids
6.2 Classifying the Elements squares in the periodic table, periods and groups (p. 118), electron configurations, transition elements
6.3 Periodic Trends atomic size, ions, ionization energy, ionic size, electronegativity The properties of the elements exhibit trends and these trends can be predicted with the help of the periodic table. They can also be explained and understood by analyzing the electron configurations of the elements. This is because, elements tend to gain or lose valence electrons to achieve the stable octet formation. (

2. 6.1 Organizing the Elements
Chemists used the properties of elements to sort them into groups
Chlorine, bromine, and iodine have very similar
chemical properties. (Dobereiner, 1829)
Mendeleev is given credit for an organized table; he arranged the elements in his periodic table in order of increasing atomic mass. However, there were many other versions before we accepted Mendeleev’s version. Today, we arrange by atomic number instead of atomic mass.
Chlorine, bromine, and iodine have very similar chemical properties. The numbers shown are the average atomic masses for these elements.

An Early Version of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
Newly discovered elements fit into his model.
He published his work early.
In this early version of Mendeleev’s periodic table, the rows contain elements with similar properties. Observing A fourth element is grouped with chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and (I) iodine. What is this element’s symbol?

10. The Periodic Law
6.1
The periodic law: When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical properties.
The properties of the elements within a period change as you move across a period from left to right.
The pattern of properties within a period repeats as you move from one period to the next.
periods are the rows 1-7
groups or families are the columns (use IA to VIIIA for representative elements and noble gases

Uses of Iron, Copper, and Aluminum
The metals iron, copper, and aluminum have many important uses. How each metal is used is determined by its properties.

14. Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids
6.1
In general, nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electric current.
Most nonmetals are gases at room temperature.
A few nonmetals are solids, such as sulfur and phosphorus.
One nonmetal, bromine, is a dark-red liquid.

If a small amount of boron is mixed with silicon, the mixture is a good conductor of electric current. Silicon can be cut into wafers, and used to make computer chips.

17. 6.2 Classifying the Elements
The periodic table displays the symbols and names of the elements, along with information about the structure of their atoms.
The background colors in the squares are used to distinguish groups of elements.
The Group 1A elements are called alkali metals.
The Group 2A elements are called alkaline earth metals.
The nonmetals of Group 7A are called halogens.
This is the element square for sodium from the periodic table. Interpreting Diagrams What does the data in the square tell you about the structure of sodium atoms?

18. 6.2
In this periodic table, the colors of the boxes are used to classify representative elements and transition elements.

19. Electron Configurations in Groups
6.2
Elements in groups 1A through 7A are often referred to as representative elements because they display a wide range of physical and chemical properties.
The s and p sublevels of the highest occupied energy level are not filled.
The group number equals the number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level.
Group 1A elements -- there is only one electron in the highest occupied energy level.
Group 4A elements -- there are four electrons in the highest occupied energy level.

20. Electron Configurations in Groups
6.2
Electron Configurations in Groups
Elements can be sorted into noble gases, representative elements, transition metals, or inner transition metals based on their electron configurations.
noble gases are the elements in Group 8A

21. Representative Elements
6.2
Representative Elements
Some of the representative elements exist in nature as elements. Others are found only in compounds.

22. Transition Elements
6.2
There are two types of transition elements—transition metals and inner transition metals. They are classified based on their electron configurations.
In atoms of a transition metal, the highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel contain electrons.
In atoms of an inner transition metal, the highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby f sublevel generally contain electrons.

Sodium chloride (table salt) produced the geometric pattern in the photograph. Such a pattern can be used to calculate the position of nuclei in a solid. You will learn how properties such as atomic size are related to the location of elements in the periodic table.

24. 6.3
Trends in Atomic Size
What are the trends among the elements for atomic size?
The atomic radius is one half of the distance between the nuclei of two atoms of the same element when the atoms are joined.
In general, atomic size increases from top to bottom within a group and decreases from left to right across a period.

25. Trends in Atomic Size
6.3
atomic size increases from top to bottom within a group and decreases from left to right across a period
The size of atoms tends to decrease from left to right across a period and increase from top to bottom within a group. Predicting If a halogen and an alkali metal are in the same period, which one will have the larger radius?
Size generally decreases

26. 6.3
Ions
Positive and negative ions form when electrons are transferred between atoms.
An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge.
A cation is an ion with a positive charge.
An anion is an ion with a negative charge.
Chlorine gained an electron and becomes an anion; sodium loses an electron and becomes a cation

27. Trends in Ionic Size
6.3
During reactions between metals and nonmetals, metal atoms tend to lose electrons, and nonmetal atoms tend to gain electrons. The transfer has a predictable effect on the size of the ions that form.
Cations are always smaller than the atoms from which they form. Anions are always larger than the atoms from which they form.
Relative Sizes of Some Atoms and Ions

28. Trends in Ionic Size 6.3 Size generally increases
The ionic radii for cations and anions decrease from left to right across periods and increase from top to bottom within groups.

29. Trends in Ionization Energy
The energy required to remove an electron from an atom is called ionization energy.
The energy required to remove the first electron from an atom is called the first ionization energy.
The energy required to remove an electron from an ion with a 1+ charge is called the second ionization energy.

30. Trends in Ionization Energy

First ionization energy tends to increase from left to right across a period and decrease from top to bottom within a group. Predicting Which element would have the larger first ionization energy—an alkali metal in period 2 or an alkali metal in period 4?
Energy generally increases

31. Trends in Electronegativity
6.3
Trends in Electronegativity
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom of an element to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound.
In general, electronegativity values decrease from top to bottom within a group. For representative elements, the values tend to increase from left to right across a period.

32. What you need to know: Ch. 6

The trends that exist among these properties can be explained by variations in atomic structure.
