10. Development of the Periodic Table Mendeleev’s Periodic Table (1871) Until the discovery of the proton, the elements were typically organized by increasing atomic weight. The modern organization is by increasing atomic number. 3.3The Periodic Table

11. Groups and Periods On the periodic table, elements are arranged according to similar properties. groups contain elements with similar properties in vertical columns. periods are horizontal rows of elements. 11

12. Groups and Periods 12

13. Names of Some Representative Elements

14. Group Numbers use the letter A for the representative elements (1A to 8A) and the letter B for the transition elements. also use numbers 1-18 to the columns from left to right.

15. Elements and the Periodic Table

16. Alkali Metals Group 1A (1), the alkali metals, includes lithium, sodium, and potassium.

17. Halogens Group 7A (17), the halogens, includes chlorine, bromine, and iodine.

19. Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids The heavy zigzag line separates metals and nonmetals. Metals are located to the left. Nonmetals are located to the right. Metalloids are located along the heavy zigzag line between the metals and nonmetals. 19

20. Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids on the Periodic Table 20

21. Properties of Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids Metals are shiny and ductile. are good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are dull, brittle, and poor conductors. are good insulators. Metalloids are better conductors than nonmetals, but not as good as metals. are used as semiconductors and insulators. 21

26. The Law of Multiple Proportions and Dalton’s Atomic Theory Elements are made up of tiny particles called atoms. Each element is characterized by the mass of its atoms. Atoms of the same element have the same mass, but atoms of different elements have different masses. The chemical combination of elements to make different chemical compounds occurs when atoms join in small whole- number ratios. Chemical reactions only rearrange how atoms are combined in chemical compounds; the atoms themselves don’t change. 3.4 The Atom

27. Atomic Structure: Electrons Cathode-Ray Tubes: J. J. Thomson (1856-1940) proposed that cathode rays must consist of tiny negatively charged particles. We now call them electrons.

29. Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment In Rutherford’s gold foil experiment, positively charged particles were aimed at atoms of gold. mostly went straight through the atoms. were deflected only occasionally. Conclusion: There must be a small, dense, positively charged nucleus in the atom that deflects positive particles that come close.

30. Subatomic Particles Atoms contain subatomic particles. Protons have a positive (+) charge. Electrons have a negative (-) charge. Neutrons are neutral. Like charges repel and unlike charges attract.

31. Structure of the Atom An atom consists of a nucleus that contains protons and neutrons. of electrons in a large, empty space around the nucleus.

32. Atomic Mass Scale On the atomic mass scale, 1 atomic mass unit (amu) has a mass equal to 1/12 of the mass of the carbon-12 atom. a proton has a mass of about 1 (1.007) amu. a neutron has a mass of about 1 (1.008) amu. an electron has a very small mass, 0.000 549 amu. 32
