Section 6-1

7. Development of the Periodic Table (cont.)
Mendeleev demonstrated a connection between atomic mass and elemental properties.
Moseley rearranged the table by increasing atomic number, and resulted in a clear periodic pattern.
Section 6-1

8. The Modern Periodic Table
The modern periodic table contains boxes which contain the element's name, symbol, atomic number, and atomic mass.
Section 6-1

9. The Modern Periodic Table (cont.)
Columns of elements are called groups.
Rows of elements are called periods.
Elements in groups 1,2, and possess a wide variety of chemical and physical properties and are called the representative elements.
Elements in groups 3-12 are known as the transition metals.
Section 6-1

10. The Modern Periodic Table (cont.)
Elements are classified as metals, non-metals, and metalloids.
Metals are elements that are generally shiny when smooth and clean, solid at room temperature, and good conductors of heat and electricity.
Alkali metals are all the elements in group 1 except hydrogen, and are very reactive.
Alkaline earth metals are in group 2, and are also highly reactive.
Section 6-1

11. The Modern Periodic Table (cont.)
The transition elements are divided into transition metals and inner transition metals.
The two sets of inner transition metals are called the lanthanide series and actinide series and are located at the bottom of the periodic table.
Section 6-1

12. The Modern Periodic Table (cont.)
Non-metals are elements that are generally gases or brittle, dull-looking solids, and poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Group 17 is composed of highly reactive elements called halogens.
Group 18 gases are extremely unreactive and commonly called noble gases.
Section 6-1

18. Section 6.2 Classification of the Elements
Explain why elements in the same group have similar properties.
valence electron: electron in an atom's outermost orbitals; determines the chemical properties of an atom
Identify the four blocks of the periodic table based on their electron configuration.
Elements are organized into different blocks in the periodic table according to their electron configurations.
Section 6-2

19. Organizing the Elements by Electron Configuration
Electrons in the highest principal energy level are called valence electrons.
All group 1 elements have one valence electron.
Section 6-2

20. Organizing the Elements by Electron Configuration (cont.)
The number of valence electrons for elements in groups is ten less than their group number.
The energy level of an element’s valence electrons indicates the period on the periodic table in which it is found.
Section 6-2

21. Organizing the Elements by Electron Configuration (cont.)
Section 6-2

22. The s-, p-, d-, and f-Block Elements
The shape of the periodic table becomes clear if it is divided into blocks representing the atom’s energy sublevel being filled with valence electrons.
Section 6-2

23. The s-, p-, d-, and f-Block Elements (cont.)
s-block elements consist of group 1 and 2, and the element helium.
Group 1 elements have a partially filled s orbital with one electron.
Group 2 elements have a completely filled s orbital with two electrons.
Section 6-2

24. The s-, p-, d-, and f-Block Elements (cont.)
After the s-orbital is filled, valence electrons occupy the p-orbital.
Groups contain elements with completely or partially filled p orbitals.
Section 6-2

25. The s-, p-, d-, and f-Block Elements (cont.)
The d-block contains the transition metals and is the largest block.
There are exceptions, but d-block elements usually have filled outermost s orbital, and filled or partially filled d orbital.
The five d orbitals can hold 10 electrons, so the d-block spans ten groups on the periodic table.
Section 6-2

principal energy level: the major energy level of an atom
Relate period and group trends in atomic radii to electron configuration.
ion
ionization energy
octet rule
electronegativity
Trends among elements in the periodic table include their size and their ability to lose or attract electrons
Section 6-3

30. Atomic Radius
For elements that occur as molecules, the atomic radius is half the distance between nuclei of identical atoms.
Section 6-3

32. Atomic size is a periodic trend influenced by electron configuration.
Atomic Radius
Atomic size is a periodic trend influenced by electron configuration.
There is a general decrease in atomic radius from left to right, caused by increasing positive charge in the nucleus.
Section 6-3

33. Atomic Radius (cont.)
Section 6-3

35. Atomic radius generally increases as you move down a group.
Atomic Radius (cont.)
Atomic radius generally increases as you move down a group.
Section 6-3

36. Ions
An ion is an atom or bonded group of atoms with a positive or negative charge.
When atoms lose electrons and form positively charged ions, they always become smaller because
The loss of a valence electron can leave an empty outer orbital resulting in a small radius.
Section 6-3

37. Ionization Energy
Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove an electron
The energy required to remove the first electron is called the first ionization energy.
Section 6-3

38. Ionization Energy (cont.)
Section 6-3

39. Ionization Energy (cont.)
First ionization energy increases from left to right across a period.
First ionization energy decreases down a group because atomic size increases and less energy is required to remove an electron farther from the nucleus.
Section 6-3

40. Ionization Energy (cont.)
Section 6-3

41. Octet rule and formation of Ions
The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons in order to acquire a full set of eight valence electrons.
The octet rule is useful for predicting what types of ions an element is likely to form.
Section 6-3

42. Ionization Energy (cont.)
The electronegativity of an element indicates its relative ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond.
Electronegativity decreases down a group and increases left to right across a period.

48. Section 6.1 Development of the Modern Periodic Table
Key Concepts
The elements were first organized by increasing atomic mass, which led to inconsistencies. Later, they were organized by increasing atomic number.
The periodic law states that when the elements are arranged by increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their chemical and physical properties.
The periodic table organizes the elements into periods (rows) and groups (columns); elements with similar properties are in the same group.

The energy level of an atom’s valence electrons equals its period number.
