Development of thePeriodic Table
John Newlands - Law of Octaves
1864
When arranged in order of atomic mass, every eighth element had similar properties.
Dimitri Mendeleev / Lothar Meyer
1869
organized elements arranged according to atomic mass.
Mendeleev showed how useful the table could be in predicting the existence and properties of yet unknown elements

Dmitri Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer independently came to the same conclusion about how elements should be grouped.
Modern Periodic Table - Henry Mosley
20th Century
Organized according to atomic number.

Metals versus Nonmetals• Metals tend to form cations.• Nonmetals tend to form anions.

Metals
Metals tend to be lustrous, malleable, ductile, and good conductors of heat and electricity.

Metals• Compounds formed between metals and
nonmetals tend to be ionic.• Metal oxides tend to be basic.

Nonmetals
• Nonmetals are dull, brittle substances that are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
• They tend to gain electrons in reactions with metals to acquire a noble-gas configuration.

Nonmetals
• Substances containing only nonmetals are molecular compounds.
• Most nonmetal oxides are acidic.

Metalloids
• Metalloids have some characteristics of metals and some of nonmetals.
• For instance, silicon looks shiny, but is brittle and a fairly poor conductor.

Periodic Classification ofthe Elements
Valence Electrons
The outer electrons of an atom, which arethose involved in chemical bonding, are often called the valence electrons.
Elements in the same group of the periodictable have analogous valence-electron figurations.

Ions
When electrons are removed from or added to a neutral atom or molecule, a
charged particle called an ion is formed.
Ions
Positively charged ions are calledcations
Negatively charged ions are calledanions
Ions
positively charged: cations
negatively charged: anions
most common type is metal cationNa+, Ca2+, Al3+, Fe2+, Fe3+
most common type is nonmetal anionCl–, O2–
the chemical behavior of an atom
depends on how hard an atom holds on to its electrons

Effective Nuclear Charge
• In a many-electron atom, electrons are both attracted to the nucleus and repelled by other electrons.
• The nuclear charge that an electron experiences depends on both factors.
Metals Nonmetals
In chemical reactions metals tend to lose electrons to nonmetals
Na: 11 protons; 11 electrons

Cl: 17 protons; 17 electrons

Alkali Metals
• Alkali metals are soft, metallic solids.
• The name comes from the Arabic word for ashes.
PeriodicProperties
of the Elements

Alkali Metals• They are found only in compounds in nature,
not in their elemental forms.• They have low densities and melting points.• They also have low ionization energies.

Alkali Metals
Their reactions with water are famously exothermic.

Alkali Metals• Alkali metals (except Li) react with oxygen to form
peroxides.• K, Rb, and Cs also form superoxides:
K + O2 ⎯⎯→ KO2
• They produce bright colors when placed in a flame.

Alkaline Earth Metals
• Alkaline earth metals have higher densities and melting points than alkali metals.
• Their ionization energies are low, but not as low as those of alkali metals.

Alkaline Earth Metals
• Beryllium does not react with water, and magnesium reacts only with steam, but the other alkaline earth metals react readily with water.
• Reactivity tends to increase as you go down the group.

• Oxygen, sulfur, and selenium are nonmetals.• Tellurium is a metalloid.• The radioactive polonium is a metal.

Sulfur
• Sulfur is a weaker oxidizer than oxygen.
• The most stable allotrope is S8, a ringed molecule.

Group VIIA: Halogens
• The halogens are prototypical nonmetals.• The name comes from the Greek words halos
and gennao: “salt formers.”
PeriodicProperties

Group VIIA: Halogens
• They have large, negative electron affinities.– Therefore, they tend to oxidize
other elements easily.• They react directly with
metals to form metal halides.• Chlorine is added to water
supplies to serve as a disinfectant.

Group VIIIA: Noble Gases
• The noble gases have astronomical ionization energies.
• Their electron affinities are positive.– Therefore, they are relatively unreactive.
• They are found as monatomic gases.
