3. Development of the Periodic Table
Outline the steps in the historical development of the periodic table.
Predict similarities in properties of the elements by using the periodic table.

electron cloud: space around the nucleus of an atom where the atom’s electrons are found
Section 3.1

5. Development of the Periodic Table
periodicity
periodic law
The periodic table evolved over time as scientists discovered more useful ways to compare and organize the elements.
Section 3.1

6. The Search for a Periodic Table
Early scientists needed a system that would show similarities and differences between individual and groups of elements.
J.W. Döbereiner classified some elements that had similar chemical properties into triads, organizing them according to their atomic mass.

8. The Search for a Periodic Table (cont.)
Dmitri Mendeleev’s research revealed that the chemical and physical properties of the elements repeated in an orderly way when he organized the elements according to increasing atomic mass.
Density, melting point, and boiling point all increase as atomic mass increases.

10. The Search for a Periodic Table (cont.)
By applying his theory of periodicity, or the tendency to recur at regular intervals, Mendeleev was able to predict properties of elements that had not yet been discovered.

14. The Modern Periodic Table
Each block of the modern periodic table shows the element’s name, symbol, atomic number, and atomic mass.
At present, elements up to atomic number 118 have been discovered or synthesized.
Atomic number increases by one as you move from element to element across a row.
Section 3.1

15. The Modern Periodic Table (cont.)
With the exception of the first row, each row begins with a metal and ends with a noble gas.
The idea that the physical and chemical properties of the elements repeat in a regular pattern when they are arranged in order of increasing atomic number is known as the modern periodic law.

19. Using the Periodic Table
Relate an element’s valence electron structure to its position in the periodic table.
Use the periodic table to classify an element as a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid.
Compare the properties of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.

22. Relationship of the Periodic Table to Atomic Structure
Elements are organized in the periodic table according to their electron configurations.
Section 3.2

23. Periods and Groups A period is a horizontal row on the periodic table.
A group, or family, consists of elements in a vertical column of the periodic table.
Section 3.2

24. Periods and Groups (cont.)
Group 18 elements, which have the maximum number of eight valence electrons and are generally unreactive, are known as the noble gases.
The period number of an element is the same as the number of its outermost energy level.
Section 3.2

25. Periods and Groups (cont.)
The number of valence electrons changes from one to eight as you move from left to right across a period; when you get to group 18, the pattern repeats.
Section 3.2

26. Periods and Groups (cont.)
Because elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons, they have similar properties.
Section 3.2

27. Periods and Groups (cont.)
Common names for some groups
alkali metals in group 1
alkaline earth metals in group 2
chalcogens in group 16
halogens in group 17
noble gases in group 18

28. Physical States and Classes of the Elements
Most elements are solid at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure.
Synthetic elements are not found in nature but are produced artificially in particle accelerators.
Section 3.2

29. Physical States and Classes of the Elements (cont.)
Elements are classified as metals, metalloids, or nonmetals on the basis of their physical and chemical properties.
Section 3.2

30. Physical States and Classes of the Elements (cont.)
Metals are elements that have luster, conduct heat and electricity, and usually bend without breaking.
The majority of elements are metals.
Most metals are solid at room temperature and have extremely high melting points.
With the exception of tin, lead, and bismuth, metals have one, two, or three valence electrons.
Section 3.2

31. Physical States and Classes of the Elements (cont.)
The metals in groups 3 through 12 of the periodic table are called the transition elements.
The unpredictable behavior and properties of the transition metals is due to the more complicated atomic structure of these elements.
Section 3.2

32. Physical States and Classes of the Elements (cont.)
The transition elements are divided into transition metals and inner transition metals.
The two sets of inner transition metals are called the lanthanide series and actinide series and are located at the bottom of the periodic table.
Section 3.2

33. Physical States and Classes of the Elements (cont.)
Nonmetals are elements that are generally gases or brittle, dull-looking solids, and poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Section 3.2

34. Physical States and Classes of the Elements (cont.)
Metalloids have physical and chemical properties of both metals and nonmetals, such as silicon and germanium.
Some metalloids are semiconductors, or an element that does not conduct electricity as well as a metal but does conduct slightly better than a nonmetal.
Section 3.2

35. Physical States and Classes of the Elements (cont.)
When undergoing chemical reactions, metals tend to lose valence electrons, whereas nonmetals tend to share electrons or gain electrons from other atoms.
Section 3.2

36. Semiconductors and Their Uses
Most metals conduct an electric current because their valence electrons are not held tightly by the positive nucleus and are free to move.
Section 3.2

37. Semiconductors and Their Uses (cont.)
The electrical conductivity of a semiconductor such as silicon can be increased by a process known as doping—the addition of a small amount of another element to a crystal of a semiconductor.

39. Semiconductors and Their Uses (cont.)
