chemistry m1 the periodic table
TRANSCRIPT
Students should be familiar with the concept of the atom as the basic building block of matter.
Students should be able to: Explain the basis of the arrangement of
elements in the periodic table Identify trends in Period 3 using gradation
from metallic to non- metallic properties
Overview
Identify trends in Group II Identify trends in Group VII Predict properties of unknown elements
based on group trends Identify metals and non-metals in the
Periodic Table Define metallic bonding Define covalent bonding
Overview cont’d
In groups of four or five, students will be asked to sequence a deck of cards in rows and columns.
They will then discuss their arrangements.
Introductory Activity A historical
background of the Periodic Table
This was developed by Dimitri Mendeleev in 1869.
Elements were arranged into rows and columns.
We are going to construct our own table. Step 1: Place the atoms in ascending order
using the number of protons Step 2: Arrange them in eight columns and
three rows. Step 3:Atoms with only one electron in the
outer shell are placed on the left. Step 4: Atoms with a filled shell are placed
on the right.
Constructing a Periodic Table
Your constructed table should look like this: http://www.chem.iastate.edu/group/Greenbo
we/sections/projectfolder/flashfiles/reaction/bonding1.swf
The Resulting Table
Elements found to the left of the table are called metals.
They react by losing electrons from their valence shells to obtain a full outer shell.
Elements found from the middle to the right of the table are called non-metals.
They react by either gaining electrons or sharing electrons to obtain a full outer shell.
Metals and Non-metals
Let us take a closer look at the Periodic Table
http://www.chem.iastate.edu/group/Greenbowe/sections/projectfolder/flashfiles/reaction/bonding1.swf
The metals are located to the left. The non-metals are located from the middle
to the right.
A closer look
The vertical columns in the periodic table are called groups.
The elements in each group have similar properties.
The chief similarity is the fact that they have the same number of electrons in the outer shell. http://www.teachnet.ie/tburke/periodic/element/html
Groups
Look at this periodic table http://www.teachnet.ie/tburke/periodic/
element/html Each group of elements is assigned a name. Give the names assigned to Groups I, II,VII
and 0. List the elements found in Group II and
Group VII.
Practice Exercises
The horizontal rows of elements in the Periodic Table are called periods. For the first twenty elements, there are four periods.
The elements in each period have properties that are similar.
The chief similarity is the number of shells in the atom.
Periods
Let us take a closer look at the periods. http://www.teachnet.ie/tburke/periodic/
element/html The elements in the same period have the
same number of shells of electrons.
Example
Look at the periodic table. List the elements found in Period 3, stating
how many electrons are in the outer shell.
Practice Exercises
Let us examine how the following vary down group II and group VII
Atomic size Ease of ionization Melting points Boiling points Density
Trends down the Groups http://www.learners

Let us examine how the following vary across Period 3:
Atomic size Electronegativity Electropositivity Conductivity Melting points
Trends across the Period http://www.chem.ia
state.edu/group/Greenbowe/sections/projectfolder/flashfiles/reaction/bonding1.swf
Create a table to show how the following vary across Period 3: Melting point, conductivity, atomic size, electronegativity, electropositivity
Create a table showing how the following vary down Group II: atomic size, density, melting point, boiling point, ease of ionization.
Create a similar table for Group VII
Practice Exercises
This type of bonding is found in metals. The atoms in metals are packed so tightly that the electrons on the outer shell are knocked off. These free electrons form a ‘sea’ around the nuclei. An attraction occurs between the positive nuclei and the negative sea of electrons. This attraction is called metallic bonding.
Metallic bonding
Non-metals form covalent bonds. This type of bond is formed when carbon
atoms bond with each other. Two structures formed are:
Graphite and diamond. Click on the link to observe these
structures.
Giant Molecular Crystals
Allotropes are different structures of the same element.
Therefore carbon has two allotropes: Diamond and graphite
Allotropes
Elements are arranged logically in a table. This arrangement of elements in ascending
order of atomic number is called a Periodic Table.
The elements are organized into families called groups and periods.
The elements in each family have similar properties.
Summary
The elements in the Periodic Table can be classified as metals and non-metals.
The bonding found in metals is called metallic bonding.
The bonding found in non-metals is called covalent bonding.
The non-metals can form simple molecules or giant molecular crystals.
Summary cont’d
Different structures of the same element are called allotropes.
The Periodic Table provides a wealth of information about the elements.
