1. 2.2 The Periodic Table and Chemical Properties

2. History
Chemists began looking for a way to organize their observations of elements
In 1867, Dmitiri Mendeleev wrote down every element on a card
It included density, color, melting point, and boiling point
As Mendeleev did this he began to notice holes within the table and predict properties of other elements

3. History Born : 1834 Died : 1907 Nationality : Russian
Occupation : Chemist
Dmitri Mendeleev brought order to the chaos of chemistry by asserting his periodic law, which states that the elements arrange themselves according to their atomic number and their chemical properties

4. The Periodic Table By the end of the lesson you should be able to
Know how the elements are listed in rows by increasing order of Atomic number
Rows are arranged in such a way that elements with similar properties line up in vertical columns
Each element in the table is recorded using its name, symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, and common ion charges

5. The Periodic Table
Two families of metals are the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals
Two families of non-metals are the halogens and the noble gases

6. The Periodic Table
Is a chart that organizes the elements according to their physical and chemical properties.
The periodic table gives each element’s name, symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, and ion charges

7. The Atomic Number
This is the number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of an element
It is always a whole number (they run in a pattern)

8. Atomic Mass This is the average mass of an atom of an element.
It is always written as a decimal number and is measured in atomic mass unit (amu)

9. Ion Charge This happens to an element when it gains or loses electrons
Any electrically charged atom is called an ion
The electrons make it more negative because they are negative

10. Ion Charges Some elements have multiple ion charges Pattern:
These form in more than one way
Pattern:
Elements on the left hand side are usually positive ions
Elements on the right hand side, except for the last column, generally form negative ions
Elements that are in the same column often form ions with the same ion charge as other elements in that column

11. How is it set up?
Elements are listed horizontally according to their atomic number (number of protons).
Periods are the horizontal rows of elements.

12. How is it set up?
Elements are listed vertically according to their chemical properties.
Groups or Families are arranged vertically.

13. Non-Metals are found on the right side of the staircase
Metals are found on the left side of the staircase
Metalloids (have some properties of both metals and non-metals) are on the staircase

15. Metal, Non-Metals, and Metalloids

16. Groups
Noble Gases
Alkaline Earth Metals
Alkali Metals
Halogens

17. Alkali Metals Highly reactive React with both oxygen and water. Soft
Reactivity increases as you go down the group.
React with both oxygen and water.
Soft
Low melting points
Have a +1 ion charge

18. Alkaline Earth Metals Less reactive than alkali metals
Burn in air if heated
Produce bright flames and used in fireworks.
Will react with water, but not as vigorously as alkali metals
Have a +2 ion charge

19. Halogens Non-metals Highly reactive
F and Cl are gases at room temperature
Br is a liquid and I is a solid
F is the most reactive and I is the least
Have a -1 ion charge

20. Noble Gases Non-Metals Most stable and unreactive elements
They are colourless, odourless gases
Ar and Ne are used in light fixtures
“Royal”
Have a 0 ion charge (don’t make ions)
