Periodic Table of Elements

Dmitri Mendeleev First Table made by arranging the 63 known elements in order of atomic weight grouping them by similarity of properties. Predicted the existence of new elements pointed out that some of the known atomic weights were wrong He left space on his table for new elements, and predicted yet-to-be-discovered elements

Aren’t you glad it doesn’t look like this now? This gives me a headache. Gaps where he knew that missing elements should be.

The Modern Periodic Table What season comes after our current season? After that? The periodic tables has: Horizontal Rows (label these from top to bottom #’s 1 through 7. The row number corresponds to how many energy levels the atom in that row have.) These rows show TRENDS! For example, as you move across a row, elements go from metallic to less metallic. When you finish a row, the next row repeats those properties. Just like the seasons repeat themselves year after year.

The periodic table also has COLUMNS. They are called: MORE about the P.T. ! What are some things you have in common with your family? The periodic table also has COLUMNS. They are called: Groups or Families – Elements in the same group have similar physical and chemical properties http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3p8paK24ac

More about Groups on the P.T. The groups can be labeled 1 through 18 (most modern way) or 1A, 1B, 3B, 4B, etc. (old-fashioned) Groups with an A have a “little of everything” metal, non-metal, reactive, non-reactive Groups with a B are “transition metals” and pretty much alike.

And color code, too! Come get three colored pencils but you don’t’ have to use these offensive colors. 1 2 Nonmetals 3 4 5 Metals 6 7 Metalloids Zumdahl, Zumdahl, DeCoste, World of Chemistry 2002, page 349

Properties of Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids malleable, lustrous, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity NONMETALS gases or brittle solids at room temperature, poor conductors of heat and electricity (insulators) METALLOIDS (Semi-metals) dull, brittle, semi-conductors (used in computer chips)

Periodic Trends Wow! Can’t you just wait? The periodic table shows all sorts of trends, but we will keep it very basic.

Atomic size (radius) The size of the atom increases as you go down the table. Size decreases as you go across.

Electronegativity - the tendency of an atom to attract electrons

Ionization Energy -  the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the atom or molecule

Electron Affinity -  the amount of energy released when an electron is added to a neutral atom or molecule to form a negative ion.

Melting/Boiling Point Highest in the middle of a period.

The elements get more metallic as you go down the table, and less metallic as you go across.
