Antoine Lavoiser |
- First person to attempt to sort the elements - Arranged the periodic table according to the elements chemical properties - Showed a distinction between metals and non-metals. - In his table of simple substances, there was: gases, metals, non-metals, and earths. |
|
Johann Dobreiner |
- Dobreiner's Triads (failed) - Found some groups of 3 elements which showed similar properties - Arranged 3 elements in order of increasing atomic mass |
|
John Newlands |
- Newland's Octaves (failed) - Noticed that similar properties occurred every 8th element (only went until Calcium) - Arranged all the known elements according to increasing atomic mass |
|
Dmitri Mendeleev |
- Arranged all known elements in the order of increasing atomic masses and their properties - Left empty spaces for elements that would later be discovered |
|
Henry Moseley |
- Discovered that the atomic number is the most fundamental property of an element - Arranged the known elements in the order of increasing atomic number |

|
Alkaline Metals (Characteristics) |
- Naturally exist as compounds with other elements since they're highly reactive - Sodium (Na) is a component of salt - Lithium (Li) is used in batteries |
|
Alkaline Earth Metals (Characteristics) |
- Highly reactive - Calcium (Ca) and Magnesium (Mg) are important to human health |
|
Halogen (Characteristics) |
- Reactive nonmetallic elements - Form strongly acidic compounds with hydrogen |
|
Noble Gases (Characteristics) |
- Most are non reactive metallic gases |
|
Periodic Trend (Definition) |
- Specific patterns in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of an element |
|
Atomic Radius/Size (Pattern) |
- Right to left: Increases - Down: Increases |
|
Ions (Definition) |
- Formed when an atom gains or loses electrons |
|
Cation |
- Formed when electrons are removed - Positively charged - Smaller |
|
Anions |
- Formed when electrons are gained - Negatively charged - Larger |
|
Ionic Radius (Pattern) |
- Groups 14 to 1: Increases - Groups 18 to 15: Decreases - Down: Increases |
|
Electron Affinity (Definition) |
- Amount of energy released or spent when an electron is added to a neutral atom to form a negative ion |
|
Electron Affinity (Pattern) |
- Right to left: Decreases - Down: Decreases |
|
Electronagetivity (Definition) |
- Tendency of an atom to attract electrons to itself - Important in chemical bonding to form new compounds |
|
Ionization Energy (Pattern) |
- Right to left: decreases - Down: decreases |
|
Molar Mass (Definition) |
- Sum of the atomic masses of the elements in a compound |
|
Mole (definition) |
- A counting unit used to denote the number of atoms, molecules, ions, o formula units. |
|
Avogadro's Number |
6.02 X 10^23 |
|
Ionization Energy (Definition) |
- Energy required to remove an electron |
|
