8. What is the periodic table?
The periodic table is a chart of the elements arranged into rows and columns according to their physical and chemical properties.
It can be used to determine the relationships among the elements.
Lesson 1-1

9. Developing a Periodic Table
When Russian chemist Dimitri Mendeleev was working on classifying the elements, he placed his list of elements into a table and arranged them in rows of increasing atomic mass.
Elements with similar properties were grouped in the same column.
Lesson 1-2

10. Mendeleev noticed that melting point is one property that shows a repeating pattern.
Lesson 1-2

11. Developing a Periodic Table (cont.)
Boiling point and reactivity also follow a periodic pattern.
Mendeleev believed that the atomic masses of certain elements must be invalid because the elements appeared in the wrong place on the periodic table.
He placed elements whose properties resembled each other’s closer together in the table.
Lesson 1-2

12. When Moseley listed the elements according to atomic number, columns contained elements with similar properties, such as copper, silver, and gold.
Lesson 1-2

13. Developing a Periodic Table (cont.)

Lesson 1-2

14. Today’s Periodic Table

18. Today’s Periodic Table (cont.)
What can you infer about the properties of two elements in the same group?
Lesson 1-3

19. Today’s Periodic Table (cont.)
The rows on the periodic table are called periods.
The atomic number of each element increases by one as you read from left to right across each period.
Lesson 1-3

20. Today’s Periodic Table (cont.)
Metals are on the left side and in the middle of the periodic table.
With the exception of hydrogen, nonmetals are located on the right side of the periodic table.
Between the metals and the nonmetals on the periodic table are the metalloids.

Even today, new elements are created in laboratories, named, and added to the present-day periodic table.
Lesson 1-4
