Chapter 5: The Periodic Table

5.1 Organizing the elements5.2 The Modern Periodic Table

5.3 Representative groups

Section 5.1

Organization of the Elements

Search for Order 1750 only 17 elements known 1789 Antoine Lavoisier grouped known

elements (4 groups) Metals Non-metals Gases Earths

Next 80 yrs scientists looked for better way to classify known elements

Mendeleev’s Periodic Table 1869….Dmitri Mendeleev

(Russian teacher and chemist) organized known elements while playing solitaire Made deck of cards with elements Listed name, mass and properties

Paid attention to how elements reacted in chemical reactions

Mendeleev’s Periodic TableStrategy for organization: What

did he look at? chemical propertiesphysical propertiesatomic massdensitycolormelting pointValence electrons (sec 5.3)

Mendeleev’s ProposalElements arranged in rows based on

increasing mass.Elements with similar properties are in

same column.Chart was a Periodic Table -

arrangement of elements in columns based on a set of properties that repeat.

Mendeleev’s Prediction Table incomplete–

elements not yet discovered

Left spaces in table for undiscovered elements

Good models allow for predictions to be made based on model

Used properties of nearby elements to predict properties of unknown elements

He called this element eka-Aluminum.

Later it was renamed Gallium after its

discovery in 1875

Evidence Supporting Mendeleev’s Table

Close match between Mendeleev’s predictions and the actual properties of new elements showed how useful table was. Ex. Discovery of: Aluminum, Gallium, Scandium,

and Germanium

The Modern Periodic Table “Periodic” - Repeating patterns

Listed in order of increasing number of protons (atomic #)

Properties of elements repeat Periodic Law-Periodic Law- when elements arranged by increasing

number of protons, properties repeat in pattern

Columns in the Periodic Table

-vertical (up & down) -called groups or families-numbered 1-18 or 1A through 8A-elements in same family have

similar properties

Rows in the Periodic Table-horizontal (left – right)-called a period-properties change greatly across

period-first element in period is very active

metal-last element in most periods is noble

gas-7 periods (number them on your

periodic table)

Element KeyImportant information about

an element is given in each square of the periodic table: its atomic number chemical symbol element name average atomic mass

6C

Carbon12.01

For example:Carbon has atomic # 6 (or has 6 protons), an average atomic mass of 12.01 and a symbol of C

Atomic Mass

Two isotopes of copper 72% copper-6328% copper-65

Makes the average 63.56 amu

Metals Most solids (Hg is liquid) Luster – shiny. Ductile – drawn into thin

wires. Malleable – hammered into

sheets. Conductors of heat and

electricity. Include transition metals –

“bridge” between elements on left & right of table

Non-Metals Properties are generally opposite of

metals Poor conductors of heat and

electricity Low boiling points Many are gases at room temperature Solid, non-metals are brittle (break

easily) Chemical properties vary

Metalloids stair-step pattern Have properties similar to

metals and non-metals Ability to conduct heat and

electricity varies with temp Better than non-metals but

not metals

Variation Across a Period: Left to Right

Physical and Chemical properties Atomic size decreasesMetallic properties decreaseAbility to lose an electron decreasesAbility to gain electrons increases

Section 5.3Representative Groups

The Elements

Hip Hop Classroom

What are Valence electrons?

outermost e-’s Responsible for chem props Elements in same group… same # of VE ALL atoms want full outer energy level (usually 8 VE) To get full outer energy level, some elements:

lose e- (metals) gain e- (non-metals) share electrons (some non-metals & metalloids)

Introducing the ten major groups (families) on the modern Periodic

Table:

Alkali Metals- 1 valence electron (VE)- soft, silver-white, shiny

metals- never found pure - most reactive metals- Reactivity increases

down group

reactivity increases

potassium

Label the Alkali Metals to your PT

Alkaline Earth Metals- 2 Valence

Electrons- not as reactive as

alkali metals- often mixed with

Al- forms strong/light

weight alloys

magnesium

Alkaline Earth Metals

Magnesium Used to make steel (light

metal w/o losing strength)

photosynthesis (chlorophyll)

Calcium bones & teeth Chalk, limestone, pearls,

plaster

Label the Alkaline Earth Metals to your PT

Boron FamilyBoron Hard/brittle never found

pure in nature in borax...used

to make detergents & cosmetics

-3 Valence Electrons

Boron FamilyAluminum most

abundant metal in earth’s crust

important metal for industry light, strong,

slow to corrode

13Al

Aluminum

Aluminum

Label the Boron Family on your PT

Carbon Family- 4 Valence

Electrons- Can gain 4 e-, lose

4 e-, or share e-- Most compounds

in body contain C- Si 2nd most

abundant element in Earth’s crust

- Si used to tip saw blades

silicon

Label the Carbon Family on your PT

Nitrogen Family- 5 Valence

Electrons - Tend to gain 3 e-- N and P used in

fertilizers- P on tips of

matches

Arsenic

Label the Nitrogen Family on your PT

Oxygen Family- 6 Valence Electrons- Tend to gain 2 e-- O very abundant

element- S used in fertilizers- O needed for digestion

sulfur

Label the Oxygen Family on your PT

Halogen Family (“salt-former”)-7 Valence Electrons-most active nonmetals-never found pure in nature-react with alkali metals

easily (forms salts)-F most active halogen

Halogens cont…F compounds in toothpasteCl kills bacteriaI keeps thyroid gland

working properly

bromine

Label the Halogen Group on your Periodic TableLabel the Halogen Group on your Periodic Table

The Noble Gases (Inert Gases)- non-reactive- outermost e-

shell is full (8 Valence Electrons)

- In “neon” lights-in earth’s

atmosphere (less than 1%)

Neon

Label the Noble Gases on your Periodic TableLabel the Noble Gases on your Periodic Table

Transition Metals Almost all solids at room temp (Hg exception) ductile, malleable, conductors Valence Electrons vary Less Reactive than Groups 1 & 2 Fe, Co, and Ni produce magnetic field

mercury

Rare Earth ElementsLanthanide series (period 6)Actinide Series (period 7)

Some radioactive Separated from table to make easy to

read/print silver, silvery-white, or gray metals. Conduct electricity

uranium
