What did Lavoiser do in the 1790's?
Composed the first list of the 23 elements known since prehistoric times (gold, carbon, silver, etc.)
What occurred during the Industrial Revolution (1800s)
Many new elements were isolated (compounds were broken down)
In 1860, chemists created a _________ for determining the atomic mass of all elements.
Standard
What did John Newlands discover in 1864?
Law of Octaves
Law of Octaves
When elements are arranged by atomic mass, their properties repeat every eighth element
Why was the Law of Octaves ground breaking and what was the problem with it?
-Showed first periodic relationship in elements
-Problem was that not all known elements followed this pattern
What did both Meyer and Mendeleev discover in 1869?
Both noticed a connection between atomic mass and properties of elements. They arranged elements in order of increasing atomic mass and put elements with similar properties in the same column.
Why did Mendeleev receive more credit than Meyer?
Because he published his findings first and left blanks in his table where he knew undiscovered elements would fit such as scandium, gallium, and germanium
What happened to Mendeleev's table when more elements were found?
Several elements did not fit anywhere
How did Henry Moseley arrange the elements and what was the result?
By atomic number. In result, the misplaced elements fell into place and a clear periodic pattern of elemental properties was found (Periodic Law)
Periodic Law
When elements are arranged by increasing atomic number, there is a repitition of chemical and physical properties within a family
Representative elements
Groups designated with an A, possess a wide range of chemical and physical properties
Transition elements
Groups designated with a B
What are the three main classifications of the elements?
1. metals
2. nonmetals
3. metalloids
What are the properties of metals?
-shiny when smooth and clean
-solid at room temperature
-good conductors of heat and electricity
-malleable, ductile
-loose electrons to form s2p6 (cations)
Alkali metals
Group 1A elements
Alkaline earth metals
Group 2A elements
What are the Group B elements (transition elements) divided into?
1. transition metals
2. inner transition metals
What two sets of inner transition metals are located at the bottom of the periodic table?
Lanthanides and actinides
What are the properties of nonmetals?
-usually gases or brittle, dull-looking solids
-poor conductors of heat and electricity
-gain electrons to achieve s2p6
Halogens
-Highly reactive group 7A nonmetals
-Valence configuration s2p5
-Need 1 electron to achieve s2p6
Noble gases
-Extremely unreactive group 8A nonmetals
-Valence configuration of s2p6
Metalloids
Elements with physical and chemical properties of both metals and nonmetals
Label the periodic table
-Red group: Alkali metals
-Tan group: Alkaline earth metals
-Pink elements: Transition metals, "B Elements," D Block
-Bottom pink elements: Inner transition metals, "F Block," lanthanides(top) and actinides(bottom)
-Yellow group: Halogens
-Turquoise group: Noble gases
Why do elements in the same group have similar chemical properties?
Because their atoms have the same number of valence electrons
All of the elements in group 1A all have a valence configuration of ___.
s1
List the metalloids?
Boron
Silicon
Germanium
Arsenic
Antimony
Tellurium
Polonium
Astatine
Describe the properties of Alkali Metals (Group 1A)
-valence configuration s1
-all silver, soft
-react explosively with H2O to form alkaline solution
Describe the properties of Alkaline Earth Metals
-valence configuration s2
-all found naturally in Earth
-react with H2O to form alkaline solution
What are lanthanides used for?
CRT's and TV's
What forms salts?
Alkali/Alkaline Earth Metals + Halogens
What makes up the S-Block?
Groups 1A and 2A
What makes up the P-Block?
Groups 3A through 8A
What makes up the D-Block?
Transition Metals
What makes up the F-Block?
Inner Transition Metals
What is the atomic radius for metals?
Half the distance between adjacent nuclei (half the distance across atom)
What is the atomic radius for nonmetals?
Half the distance between nuclei of identical atoms that are chemically bonded together (half the distance across bonded atom)
What pattern is seen in atomic size as you move from left to right across a period? Why?
Decrease in atomic radius. Because electron shielding increases, positive nuclear charge pulls outermost electrons closer to nucleus.
What pattern is seen in atomic size as move down a group? Why?
Increase in atomic radius. Because the atom becomes bigger due to more energy levels. This creates more electrons and these electrons shield outer electrons from pull of nucleus.
Ion
An atom or group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge due to the gaining or losing of electrons
When atoms lose electrons and form positively charged ions, what happens?
Atomic radius becomes smaller
Why do atoms become smaller when they lose electrons and form positively charged ions?
1. Valence electron leaves, leaving outer orbital empty, causes smaller radius
2. Less electrons so shielding decreases, outer electrons are pulled closer to nucleus, causes smaller radius
When atoms gain electrons and form negatively charged ions, what happens?
Atomic radius becomes larger
Why do atoms become larger when they gain electrons and form positively charged ions?
Because this increases the electrostatic repulsion between the atoms outer electrons, forcing them to move farther apart, causes larger radius
