Discovering a Pattern In 1869 Russian chemist Dmitri

Discovering a Pattern • In 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic mass. • His Periodic table showed that • Elements with similar properties occurred in a repeating pattern • There were gaps in its pattern • He could predict the properties of the missing elements By 1886, all of the gaps had been filled and Mendeleev’s predictions were right.

Changing the Arrangement • A few elements’ properties did not fit in the pattern of Mendeleev’s table. • 1914: British scientist Henry Moseley found the atomic number of atoms. • Elements arranged by atomic number fit the pattern in Mendeleev’s table.

Elements are arranged: Vertically into Groups Horizontally Into Periods

Why?

If you looked at one atom of every element in a group you would see…

Each atom has the same number of electrons in it’s outermost shell. • An example…

The group 2 atoms all have 2 electrons in their outer shells Be (Beryllium) Atom Mg (Magnesium) Atom

• The number of outer or “valence” electrons in an atom effects the way an atom bonds. • The way an atom bonds determines many properties of the element. • This is why elements within a group usually have similar properties.

If you looked at an atom from each element in a period you would see…

Each atom has the same number of electron holding shells. An example…

The period 4 atoms each have 4 electron containing shells 4 th Shell K (Potassium) Kr (Krypton) Atom Fe (Iron) Atom

Each group has distinct properties • The periodic Table is divided into several groups based on the properties of different atoms.

The Periodic Table and Classes of Elements • Elements are classified as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on number of electrons in outer shell • an outer shell is considered complete when it contains 8 electrons • The zigzag line on the periodic table can help you recognize which elements belong in which category.

Group 1: Alkali Metals Alkali metals properties: • metals • 1 electron in the outer level • very reactive • softness, color of silver, shininess, low density

Alkali Metals Soft, silvery colored metals Very reactive!!!

Metals • found to the left of the zigzag line • have few electrons in their outer energy level. • shiny, ductile, malleable, and are good conductors of electric current and thermal energy.

Alkali Metals reacting with water: • • • Li (Lithium) Na (Sodium) K (Potassium) Rb (Rubidium) Cs (Cesium) What would you expect from Francium? !? !

Group 2: Alkaline-Earth Metals Alkaline-earth metals properties: • metals • 2 electrons in the outer level • very reactive, but less reactive than alkali metals • color of silver, higher densities than alkali metals

Alkaline Earth Metals Silvery-White Metals Fairly reactive Many are found in rocks in the earth’s crust

Group 3– 12: Transition Metals Properties of Transition Metals vary widely but include: • metals • 1 or 2 electrons in the outer level • less reactive than alkaline-earth metals • shininess, good conductors of electric current and thermal energy

Transition Metals Most are good Conductors of electricity Malleable (easily bent/hammered into wires or sheets)

How many things can you think of that have Transition Metals in them?

Metalloids lie on either side of these “stairsteps” They share properties with both metals and non-metals Si (Silicon) and Ge (Germanium) are very important “semi-conductors”

Metalloids • border the zigzag line • have about half of a complete set of electrons in their outer energy level. • Metalloids have some properties of metals and some properties of nonmetals. • Metalloids are also called semiconductors.

What are semiconductors used in?

Nonmetals Brittle Do not conduct electricity

Nonmetals • to the right of the zigzag line • have an almost complete set of electrons in their outer energy level. • not shiny, ductile, or malleable, and poor conductors of electric current and thermal energy.

Group 13: Boron Group 13 properties: • one metalloid and five metals • 3 electrons in the outer level • reactive • solids at room temperature

Group 14: Carbon Group 14 properties: • one nonmetal, two metalloids, and two metals • 4 electrons in the outer level • reactivity varies among the elements • solids at room temperature

Group 15: Nitrogen Group 15 properties: • two nonmetals, two metalloids, and two metals • 5 electrons in the outer level • reactivity varies among the elements • solids at room temperature (except for nitrogen, which is a gas)

Chapter 12 Section 2 Grouping the Elements Group 16: Oxygen Group 16 properties: • group contains three nonmetals, one metalloids, and one metal • 6 electrons in the outer level • reactive • solids at room temperature (except for oxygen, which is a gas)

Chapter 12 Section 2 Grouping the Elements Hydrogen The properties of hydrogen do not match the properties of any single group, so hydrogen is set apart. • a nonmetal • 1 electron in the outer level • reactive • colorless, odorless gas at room temperature, low density

Halogens Most are Poisonous Fairly reactive

Chapter 12 Section 2 Grouping the Elements Group 17: Halogens are the elements in Group 17 properties: • group contains nonmetals • 7 electrons in the outer level • very reactive • poor conductors of electric current, never in uncombined form in nature

Chlorine Gas was used as a chemical weapon during World War I. It was used by the Nazis in World War II.

Chapter 12 Section 2 Grouping the Elements Group 18: Noble Gases Noble gases are the elements in Group 18 properties: • group contains nonmetals • 8 electrons in the outer level (except helium, which has 2) • unreactive • colorless, odorless gases at room temperature

Noble Gases Unreactive Gases at room temperature

Colors Noble Gases produce in lamp tubes: • Ne (Neon): orange-red • Hg (Mercury): light blue • Ar (Argon): pale lavender • He (Helium): pale peach • Kr (Krypton): pale silver • Xe (Xenon): pale, deep blue

Group 3– 12: Transition Metals, continued • Lanthanides and Actinides Some transition metals from Periods 6 and 7 appear in two rows at the bottom of the periodic table. Elements in the first row are called lanthanides and elements in the second row are called actinides.
