Explore the evolution of the periodic table from John Newland's early arrangement by atomic mass to Moseley's breakthrough with atomic numbers. Understand the significance of Mendeleev's table and the modern periodic table's organization based on atomic number and periodic law.
E N D
John Newland • 1865 he arranged the 1st 16 elements • Ordered them by increasing atomic mass • He found that elements in each column had similar chemical and physical properties • The properties repeated with the 8th element
Dmitri Mendeleev • Arranged the 63 known elements in 1870 • Arranged them in order of increasing atomic mass • Elements with similar properties fell in vertical columns
Dmitri Mendeleev • Two interesting things to notice about Mendeleev’s table • The elements do not always fit neatly in the order of increasing atomic mass • There were gaps in the table where elements with a particular atomic mass should occur
Henry Moseley • 40 years later Moseley studied the X-ray spectra of the elements and found that they correlate to the atomic number • Arranging the elements in order of increasing atomic number caused the discrepancies to disappear
Periodic Table • The periodic table on page 114-115 is the most common periodic table • It is based on periodic law • Periodic law: • Physical and chemical properties of the elements are a periodic functions of their atomic numbers
Periodic Table • Rows = Periods • Electron Configurations are similar • Columns = Groups • Have properties in common with gradation • Period: Series of elements that form a horizontal row in the periodic table • Group: Series of elements that form a vertical row in the periodic table
Periodic Table • 2 distinct regions • Metals – Groups 1-12 and some elements in 13-16 • Nonmetals – Groups 17 and 18 as well as some in Groups 14-16 • Transition metals – Groups 3-12
Main-Group Elements • What are the main-group elements in the periodic table? • Groups 1,2 and 13-18 • Names for the main-group elements: • Group 1: Alkali metals • Group 2: Alkaline-earth metals • Group 17: Halogens • Group 18: Noble Gases
Alkali Metals • React with water to produce alkaline solutions • Soft and can be cut with a knife • Have a high reactivity due to their electron configuration • Single electron in the highest energy level • Lose the outer electron and become a cation (+)
Alkaline-Earth Metals • Harder, denser, stronger and have higher melting points than Group 1 • Elements reactive but less than Group 1 • Requires twice as much energy • Lose 2 electrons to achieve the configuration of a noble gas
Halogens • Combine with most metals to form compounds known as salts • Most reactive group of the nonmetals • 1 electron short of a noble gas configuration • Gain an electron and become an anion (-)
The Noble Gases • Have 8 electrons in the outermost energy level • Stable configuration • Low reactivity
Hydrogen • Most common element in the universe • Reacts with many elements • Used in industry to produce ammonia
