Title: History of the Periodic Table
1History of the Periodic Table
- What did Cannizzaro Do?
- Developing a method that led to the determination
of standard relative atomic masses, which allowed
chemists to search for periodic trends among
elements
2What did Mendeleev do?
- Discovered the periodic law
- Organized the elements according to increasing
atomic mass and noticed that similar properties
appeared periodically. - What is the periodic law?
- The physical and chemical properties of the
elements are periodic functions of their atomic
numbers - Demostrated in the periodic table because groups
have similar chemical and physical properties and
behavior
3What did Mosley do?
- Discovered that nuclear charge(atomic number) not
atomic mass, should be the basis for organizing
the periodic table
4How do the electron configuration within the same
group compare?
- The configurations of the outermost electron
shells of elements within the same group are the
same. There are a number of exceptions to this
rule, in the transition elements
5What determines the length of each period in the
periodic table?
- The length of a period is determined by the total
number of electrons that can fill the outer
sublevel of the elements of that period
6What is the relationship between the electron
configuration of an element and the periods in
which that element appears in the periodic table
- An elements period corresponds to its highest
occupied main energy level.
7What information is provided by the specific
location of an element?
- The type of sublevel being filled in successive
elements of that block - S block groups 1 and 2
- P block groups 13-18 except He(s)
- D block groups 3-12
- F block lanthanide and actinide series
8What are properties of the Group 1 Alkali Metals?
- Extremely reactive
- react vigorously with water
- Silvery in color
- Soft enough to be cut with a knife
- All have 1 valence electron
9What are the properties of Group 2 Alkaline
earth metals
- Less reactive than group 1 elements
- Harder, denser, stronger than group 1
- Higher melting points than group 1
- 2 valence electrons
10What type of elements make up the P block of the
periodic table?
- Nonmetals at the right
- Metalloids on the stairs
- Metals under the stairs these metals are
generally ahrder and more dense than the s block
metals but softer and less dense than the d-block
metals
11What are properties of the Group 17halogens?
- Most reactive nonmetals
- Fluorine is the most reactive of all nonmetals
- React vigorously with most metals to form salts
- Most electronegative elements.
12What are the properties of the metalloids? B, Si,
Ge, As, Sb,Te
- Mostly brittle solids with electrical
conductivities intermediate between those of
metals (good conductors) and nonmetals (poor
conductors)
13What are the main group elements and what trends
can be seen across periods of these groups
- s and p group elements
- Decrease in atomic size
- Increase in ionization energy
- Increase in electron affinity
- Decrease in cationic size
- Decrease in anionic size
- Increase in electronegativity
14What is ion?A charged atom or a charged group of
bonded atoms
- What is ionization?
- Any process that results in the formation of
bonded atoms - What is first ionization energy?
- The energy required to remove one electron from a
neutral atom of an element. - What is second ionization energy?
- The energy required to remove an electron from a
1 ion.
15How do the first ionization energies of main
group elements vary across a period and down a
group?
- Increase across a period and decrease down a
group. - Across a period, the increasing nuclear charge
more strongly attracts electrons in the same
energy level and makes them more difficult to
remove - Down a group, the electrons to be removed from
each successive element are in increasingly
higher energy levels farther from the nucleus and
are more easily removed
16What is electron affinity?
- The energy taken in or given off when an electron
is added to an atom - Electron affinity values are either negative or
positive. A negative sign shows that energy is
given off and a positive sign show energy is
taken in
17What is the difference between a cation and an
anion
- Cation positive ion and a metal
- Anion negative ion and a nonmetal
- Cations are always smaller than the atoms they
came from - Anions are always larger than the atoms they came
from
