Who was Mendeleev?
|
A Russian chemist and teacher named Dmitri who discovered an organizing principle for all known elements
|
|
What were Mendeleev's main contributions to science?
|
Mendeleev organized elements based on properties- rows (increasing mass) and columns (similiar properties)
|
|
Why was Mendeleev's periodic table such a good model?
|
The close match between Mendeleev's predictions and the actual properties of new elements showed how useful his periodic table could be
|
|
Define Periodic Law
|
The properties of the elements prepeating at regular intervals when the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number
|
|
Define Period/series
|
rows- increasing atomic number
|
|
Define Group/family
|
columns- properties of elements repeating in predictable ways in a group and have similiar electron configurations
|
|
What are the modern parts of the periodic table?
|
metals, nonmetals, and metalloids
|
|
What can you tell about an element from the periodic table?
|
atomic #, name of element, symbol, and atomic mass
|
|
define metal.
|
elements that are good conductors of electric current and heat
|
|
Define nonmetal.
|
elements that are poor conductors of heat and electric current
|
|
Define metalloid.
|
elements with properties that fall between those of metals and nonmetals
|
|
define valence electron
|
an electron that is in the highest occupied energy level of an atom
|
|
Why are valence electrons important to the periodic table?
|
because having the same number of valence electrons is why elements in the same group have similiar properties
|
|
electron configuration
|
the arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom
|
|
Why is electron configuration important to the periodic table?
|
The number of an A group matches the number of valence electrons in an electron configuration for an element in that group.
|
|
electron dot diagram
|
a diagram of an atom, ion or molecule in which each dot represents a valence electron
|
|
why is the electron dot diagram important to the periodic table?
|
because it tells the number of valence electrons
|
|

Transition Elements
|
all elements that do not have groups
|
|
Inner Transition Elements
|
elements at the bottom of the periodic table- not attached
|
|
ionic bonding
|
tranferring of an electron or electrons from one atom to another
|
|
properties of ionic compounds
|
strong attractions among ions within a crystal lattice
|
|
metals in ionic bonding
|
lose electrons and become positive ions
|
|
nonmetals in ionic bonding
|
gain electrons and become negative ions
|
|
How are positive and negative ions arranged in ionic bonding
|
in crystal lattic pattern where each positie ion is surrounded by negative ions and each negative ion is surrounded by positive ions
|
|
covalent bonding
|
sharing of electrons between two atoms
|
|
nonmetals in covalent bonding
|
usually C,H,O,N,S,P
|
|
Molecule
|
basic unit
|
|
single covalent bonding
|
single pair of electrons are shared Ex.- H:H
|
|
double covalent bonding
|
2 pairs of electrons are shared Ex.- 0=0
|
|
triple covalent bonding
|
3 pairs of electrons are shared
|
