Lesson 6
The Periodic Table
Anything in black letters = write it in your notes (‘knowts’)

2. Objectives for Lesson 6 Section 1 – Organizing the Elements
Section 2 – Periodic Trends
Describe ways in which the modern periodic table is organized
Understand electron configuration patterns in the periodic table
Describe and explain trends in the periodic table

3. Section 1 – Organizing the Elements
Dmitri Mendeleev (1869) – created 1st modern periodic table.

4. Mendeleev arranged elements with similar properties.
He also left gaps where proposed elements should be.
These gaps were later filled in as more elements were discovered.
Ga & Ge Discovered later
Similar properties

5. Mendeleev’s table was an accepted success because it predicted the properties of elements that had not yet been discovered.
Woo Hoo!

6. Today’s periodic table is arranged in order of increasing atomic number (not mass).
Also, elements with similar chemical properties are placed in the same vertical column.

7. Columns are called groups or families.
Horizontal rows are called periods.

8. Valence Electrons – Electrons in the highest occupied energy level; maximum of 8.
Elements in the same column have similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

9. 8 is the maximum number of valence electrons
Electrons in the s and p orbitals of the outer shell are the valence electrons.
8 is the maximum number of valence electrons

10. Sodium: 1s22s22p63s1 Magnesium: 1s22s22p63s2 Fluorine: 1s22s22p5
The Octet Rule –
Atoms tend to gain or lose electrons to have 8 e-
Sodium: 1s22s22p63s1
Magnesium: 1s22s22p63s2
Fluorine: 1s22s22p5
Nitrogen: 1s22s22p3

11. Sodium: 1s22s22p63s1 Magnesium: 1s22s22p63s2 Fluorine: 1s22s22p5
The noble gases are chemically stable because they have a full outer energy level (valence).
Atoms tend to gain or lose electrons to have 8 e-
Sodium: 1s22s22p63s1
Magnesium: 1s22s22p63s2
Fluorine: 1s22s22p5
Nitrogen: 1s22s22p3

13. 1s22s22p5
1s22s22p63s23p5
Get the idea?...
Why is it called the Periodic Table of the Elements?
The properties of the elements repeat going across each row.

14. Three broad classes of elements; metals, metalloids, nonmetals

15. Metals – good conductors of heat and electricity, shiny, most are solid at room temp (except Hg), malleable, ductile
Nonmetals – not metals!, most are gases at room temp
Metalloids – can show properties of both metals and nonmetals

18. Practice Explain why Mendeleev’s table was an accepted success.
Why is the table of elements called the “periodic” table of elements?
State 4 properties of metals.
Explain the reason that elements in the same column have similar chemical properties?
How can you tell if an elements is a metal, nonmetal or metalloid from the periodic table?

19. 6. Name an element that is part of the
Halogen family
Alkali metal family
Alkaline earth metal family
Transition metals
Inner transition metals
Noble gas family
7. A horizontal row in the periodic table is called a _____.

20. 8. Write the electron configuration for
Nitrogen
Chlorine
Rubidium
9. How many valence electrons are in each element from question 8?

21. Section 2 – Periodic Trends
Atomic size
Ionic size (skip!)
Ionization Energy
Electronegativity

22. Atomic Size
Atomic radius (pm)
Atomic number

23. Atomic size generally decreases from left to right across a period.
As Z increases across a row, the +/- electrical attraction increases, making the atom smaller.
As Z increases down a group, another energy level is added to the atom which ‘shield’ the outer electrons from this nuclear attraction.

24. Ion – atom or group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge.
Ions are formed when electrons are transferred between atoms.

25. Cation – ion with a positive charge.
Anion – ion with a negative charge.

26. Metals tend to form cations
Nonmetals tend to form anions

27. 1st ionization energy = 520 kJ/mol 2nd ionization energy = 7297 kJ/mol
Ionization Energy – energy required to remove an electron from an atom.
