Catalyst – October (2 2 +1), 2009 Monday Mystery Element! 1. Named after the inventor of dynamite 2. Isotopes have half lives ranging from 55 seconds to 58 minutes 3. First discovered in 1958 at the Nobel Institute of Physics and later by Seaborg and Ghiorso at UC Berkeley NOBELIUM
4
Today’s Agenda Catalyst How is the periodic table organized? Intro Periodic Table Project Unlock the first secrets of the periodic table Group work time Exit Question
5
Objectives SWBAT analyze the importance of periodic law. SWBAT distinguish their family from the rest on the periodic table.
6
First things first… You are about to begin a journey to find the secrets of the Periodic Table The Periodic Table is a majestic tool used by scientists all over the world Are you ready? Let’s go.
7
How is it organized? Each group will receive a baggie of periodic table pieces With your group, organize the pieces in a logical way Be ready to explain HOW you organized the pieces
8
Now… Organize the pieces in order of increasing atomic mass Also, line them up according to shading
9
What’s missing? Ga Ge These elements were also missing when scientists were putting the periodic table together!
10
The Periodic Table Key Point #1: The periodic table organizes the elements into many different groups based on physical and chemical properties. We will learn about the major ways to group the elements – by… Family Metals/metalloids/nonmetals Valence Electrons Atomic size Electronegativity
11
What does PERIODIC mean? Key Point #2: Periodic means that there is some kind of pattern. In the Periodic Table, there are numerous patterns What about in regular life? How could you group the following items in different ways?
13
The Evolution of the Periodic Table Just like atomic theory, the Periodic Table also has a long history In the late 1790s, French scientist Antoine Lavoisier compiled a list of elements known at that time - only 23! In the 1800s, scientists began discovering a ton of elements - up to 70!
14
Evolution Continued New elements meant new data! Scientists needed a way to organize everything!
15
John Newlands (1860s) Arranged the Periodic Table by increasing ATOMIC MASS Noticed patterns based on physical and chemical properties - repeated every 8th element Law of Octaves
16
Newland’s Periodic Table Law of Octaves
17
Mendeleev (1869) A rranged elements by increasing ATOMIC MASS into columns based on chemical and physical properties Left spaces for undiscovered elements First to publish table
18
Mendeleev’s Periodic Table EMPTY SPACES!
19
Mosely (1913) Arranged elements by increasing ATOMIC NUMBER Some of Mendeleev’s elements in the wrong order Periodic Law
20
Our Periodic Table – Thanks to Mosely
21
Periodic Law Periodic Law is the statement that there is a periodic (patterned) repetition of chemical and physical properties of the elements when they are arranged in increasing atomic number
22
Periodic Table Review 1. Why is the periodic table called the “periodic” table? 2. How did Newlands organize the periodic table? 3. Who published the first periodic table? 4. Who developed periodic law?
23
Basic Terms to Know Write these in your notes to remember! Period – horizontal rows on periodic table Family/Group – vertical columns on periodic table
24
Metals, Metalloids, and Nonmetals
25
Major Families Alkali Metals Alkaline Earth Metals Transition Metals Halogens Noble Gases Lanthanides Actininides H BeBCNOF He Ce Th
26
Alkali Metals Alkali metals are very reactive – even with water! Sodium + Water EXPLOSION!EXPLOSION
27
Alkaline Earth Metals Alkaline Earth metals are also very reactive Shiny solids that are harder than Alkali metals Alkaline Earth Metal Spotlight: CALCIUM Calcium is essential for human life, especially in maintaining bones and teeth Found widely in nature combined with oxygen Abrasives in toothpaste and emery boards Magnesium Demo!
28
Boron’s Group Gallium is a silver metal that literally melts in your hand! Don’t try this yourself!
29
Carbon’s Group Carbon is one of the most important elements on Earth! There is a whole branch of chemistry dedicated to studying carbon – ORGANIC CHEMISTRY! If you are a science major in college, you will most likely take Organic Silicon is the second most abundant element on Earth! Use in computer chips and solar cells Found in quartz, sand, and glass
30
Nitrogen’s Group Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids! Nitrogen, which you breathe, can form some of the most explosive compounds known to man Arsenic is a toxic substance that was used to treat some illnesses back in the day Bismuth is used in fire sprinklers
31
Oxygen’s Group Oxygen We must breathe oxygen to survive…so it’s pretty important Reacts with some of the noble gases Sulfur Hydrogen sulfide smells like rotten egg Selenium Used in solar panels because it can convert light into energy
32
Fluorine (really fluoride) is added to toothpaste Chlorine gas is a deathly green gas that was first used as a form of chemical WARFARE in WWII Halogens (Fluorine’s Group)
33
Noble Gases (Helium’s Group) Noble gases do not react with other elements very often – they are already “happy” They can be called “inert” because they don’t react Neon is used in neon lights Helium Voice! Helium Voice
34
Transition Metals Conduct electricity Can form different ions (We’ll learn more about ions later!) Many found in nature – found all over the world (map on page 200) Uses Found in alloys, wires, plastics, etc. Your body needs trace (small) amounts many of them
35
Research Time Pick your group’s family Start researching info about your family Chapter 7 in your book contains information about each family
36
Exit Question 1. Why is the periodic table called the “periodic” table? 2. What is your group’s family? List two characteristics of elements in your group’s family. Homework: Periodic Table Assignment
