6.1 Organizing the Elements > 2 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. How can you organize and classify elements? CHEMISTRY & YOU If you have ever played a card game, then you have probably organized your cards. Maybe you classified them by color or number.

6.1 Organizing the Elements > 4 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. A few elements, including copper, silver, and gold, have been known for thousands of years. Searching for an Organizing Principle –Chemists suspected that other elements existed. –In one decade (1765–1775), chemists discovered five new elements. There were only 13 elements identified by the year 1700. As chemists began to use scientific methods to search for elements, the rate of discovery increased #1 #2

6.1 Organizing the Elements > 5 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. Searching for an Organizing Principle In 1829, a German chemist, J. W. Dobereiner, published a classification system. In his system, the known elements were grouped into triads. A triad is a set of three elements with similar properties. –The elements shown here formed one triad. Chlorine, bromine, and iodine may look different, but they have very similar chemical properties. Early chemists used the properties of elements to sort them into groups. #3 #4

6.1 Organizing the Elements > 7 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. In 1869, a Russian chemist and teacher, Dmitri Mendeleev, published a table of the elements. Mendeleev’s Periodic Table He wrote the properties of each element on a separate note card. This approach allowed him to move the cards around until he found an organization that worked. #5
8
6.1 Organizing the Elements > 8 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. Elements in a periodic table are arranged into groups based on a set of repeating properties. Mendeleev arranged the elements in his periodic table in order of increasing atomic mass. Mendeleev’s Periodic Table The organization he chose was a periodic table. #6

6.1 Organizing the Elements > 12 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. In a periodic table based on atomic mass, iodine should come before tellurium since iodine has a smaller atomic mass than tellurium does. However, based on its chemical properties, iodine belongs in a group with bromine and chlorine. Today’s Periodic Table Problems with Mendeleev’s Periodic Table using Atomic Mass to order elements
13
6.1 Organizing the Elements > 13 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. Mendeleev placed tellurium before iodine in his periodic table. He assumed that the atomic masses for iodine and tellurium were incorrect, but they were not. A similar problem occurred with other pairs of elements. The problem wasn’t with the atomic masses but with using atomic mass to organize the periodic table. Today’s Periodic Table
14
6.1 Organizing the Elements > 14 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. Mendeleev developed his table before scientists knew about the structure of atoms. He didn’t know that the atoms of each element contain a unique number of protons. Recall that the number of protons is the atomic number. Today’s Periodic Table

6.1 Organizing the Elements > 15 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. Today’s Periodic Table In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. #8

6.1 Organizing the Elements > 16 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. Today’s Periodic Table The vertical columns are called groups and the horizontal rows are called periods #9
17
6.1 Organizing the Elements > 17 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. Today’s Periodic Table There are seven rows, or periods, in the table. Each period corresponds to a principal energy level. #10
18
6.1 Organizing the Elements > 18 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. 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. Today’s Periodic Table This pattern gives rise to the periodic law: When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical properties. #11
19
6.1 Organizing the Elements > 19 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. Today’s Periodic Table Elements that have similar chemical and physical properties end up in the same column (or group) in the periodic table. When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical properties. #12

6.1 Organizing the Elements > 26 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is an organization that sets standards for chemistry. Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids In 1985, IUPAC proposed a new system for labeling groups in the periodic table. They numbered the groups from left to right 1 through 18 (the black labels).
27
6.1 Organizing the Elements > 27 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. Dividing the elements into groups is not the only way to classify them based on their properties. Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids The elements can be grouped into three broad classes based on their general properties.

Nonmetals Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids Most nonmetals are gases at room temperature, including the main components of air—nitrogen and oxygen. A few are solids, such as sulfur and phosphorus. One nonmetal, bromine, is a dark-red liquid. #16 #17

6.1 Organizing the Elements > 34 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. The variation among nonmetals makes it difficult to describe one set of general properties that will apply to all nonmetals. Nonmetals Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids A diamond, which is composed of carbon, is very hard. Some match heads are coated with phosphorus, a brittle solid.
35
6.1 Organizing the Elements > 35 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.. Nonmetals tend to have properties that are opposite to those of metals. Nonmetals Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids In general, nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electric current. Carbon, in the form of graphite, is an exception to this rule. Solid nonmetals tend to be brittle, meaning that they will shatter if hit with a hammer. #18
