  1. History of the Periodic Table Each group will be given some cards. Can your group figure out what card is missing? What is it (number and suit)?

  2. Antoine Lavoisier • In the late 1790s, he compiled a list of the known elements at the time. • This list contained 23 elements. 1743 - 1794

  3. But times were about to change… • In the 1800’s, there were many changes in the world • Electricity • Spectrometer • Industrial Revolution • As a result, there was an increase in the number of known elements • By the 1870, there were 70 known elements

  4. An agreement is reached… • Then in the 1860’s, chemist agreed upon a method for accurately determining the atomic mass of elements.

  5. John Newlands • Noticed when elements were arranged by atomic mass, they repeated properties every 8th element. • He used the word periodic to describe this pattern • He gave it the name the Law of Octaves 1838-1898

  6. We Hate It Unfortunately… • Did not work for all the elements • Criticized because of its association with music • Did give others the idea of repeating properties - periodic

  7. Lothar Meyer and Dmitri Mendeleev • Each made a connection between atomic mass and properties of elements 1834 - 1907 1830-1895

  8. The winner is… Mendeleev • Mendeleev is given credit because his was published first • In addition, Mendeleev predicted unknown elements • However, not completely correct – new elements weren’t in correct order • What do you notice about elements 27 & 28 and 52 & 53?

  9. Henry Moseley • Solved this problem by arranging the elements by increasing atomic number. • The periodic repetition of chemical and physical properties of elements when arranged by atomic number is now known as Periodic Law 1887-1915

  10. Element Name Atomic Symbol Atomic Number Atomic Mass Which leads to the Modern Periodic Table • Boxes each with: Hydrogen 1 H 1.00794 That are arranged by increasing atomic numbers

  11. Remember • Atomic number = the number of protons = the number of electrons (if neutral) • Atomic Mass on the Periodic table is the average mass of the isotopes • But the mass number of each isotope is the protons plus the neutrons

  12. Chemical Symbol • The symbol that refers to the element • First letter is capitalized, second letter (if applicable) is lower case • Not all symbols are based on English names for the elements, some come from their Latin names or even other languages – Tin – Sn – stannum – Iron – Fe - ferrum – Mercury – Hg - hydrargyrum – Gold – Au - aurum – Silver – Ag – argentum – Antimony – Sb -stibium – Lead – Pb – plumbum – Copper – Cu – cyprium

  13. Columns and Rows • The columns are called Families or Groups • Earlier Version had 1-8 followed by A or B • Group A elements are called Representative Elements • Group B elements are called Transition Elements • Modern Version labels the columns with 1-18 • Rows are called Periods • Seven periods for the seven energy levels (rings)

  14. Classifying Elements • Three Types of Elements • Metals • Nonmetals • Metalloids

  15. Metals • Shiny when smooth and clean • Solid at room temperature • Only exception - Mercury • Good conductors of heat and electricity • Most are ductile and malleable

  16. Most of the elements on the table are metals, which are in blue

  17. Nonmetals • Upper Right side of the Periodic Table • Generally brittle solids or gases • Poor conductors of heat and electricity • Bromine is the only liquid at room temperature

  18. “The Yellow Elements”

  19. Metalloids • A.k.a – the semi-metals • Boxes bordering the stair-step • Physical and chemical characteristics of both metals and nonmetals

  20. “The Green Stair-stepping Elements”
