Early Periodic Table
- early 19th century less than 40 elements discovered
- new ones discovered regularly
- scientists noticed patterns in the way
they reacted- the properties
- eg atomic weight
- John Newlands
- order of atomic mass
- law of octaves
- similar properties every 8th element
- Problems
- some groups have a mix of metals
and non metals
- only worked for first few
elements (broke after calcium)
- elements still being
discovered
- Demitri Mendeleev
- left gaps for undiscovered elements-
so elements could have similar
properties to others in the group
- predicted atmoic masses and properties for
undiscovered elements
- After Mendeleev
- noble gases discovered
- electrons discovered
- atomic structure discovered
- in accuracies that still
existed solved by placement
in order of atmic number
- Modern periodic table ---
groups and periods
- Modern Periodic Table
- Now by atmoic number
- period number is number of outermost shell
- group number is the number of electrons on outermost shell
- Group 1 - Alkali Metals
- low density
- react with non mdetals to form ionic compounds
- react with water to release hydrogen
- form hydroxides
that dissolvve in
water to give
alkaline solutions
- futher down the group -
more reactive the
element + lower melting
& boiling point
- soft
- conduct heat and electricity
- low density-float on water
- react with water and oxygen in air (which is why it tarnishes quick)
- stopped by being stored in oil
- when they react lose electron an form +1 ions
- alkali metal+water= metal hydroxide +hydrogen
- going down the group ----( high up the group)
outer electron closer to nucleus so stronger
attraction to nucleus so less screening by inner
electrons thus electron lost less easily.......lower
down the outer electron is futher from nuclues so
nuclear attraction weaker so more screening by
inner electron thus electron lost more easily
- higher energy level of outer
electron - the more easily the
electrons are lost and the less
easily the electrons are gained
- Group 7 - Halogens
- poor conductors
- poisonous non
metals - coloured
vapours
- react with metals to form ionic compounds
- ion produced called halide and has charge of -1
- further down --- less reactive.....higher
melting & boiling points due to weak molecules
- A more reactive halogen can displace
less reactive halogen from an aqueous
solution of its salts ( dissolved in water)
- eg Cl 2 + 2KBr = 2KCl + Br 2
- dont conduct heat or electricity
- diatomic molecules
- going down the group----( high up) outer
electron closer to nucleus so nuclear attraction
stronger so less screening by inner electrons
thus electron gainedd more easily (lower
down) outermost electron futher from nucleus
so weaker nuclear attraction so more
screeening by inner electrons thus electron
gained less easily
- higher energy level of
outer electron ----
electron more easily
lost....electron less
easily gained
- Transition Metals
- higher melting and boiling points (except mercury a liquid at room temp)
- harder and stronger -
good for structrual
material eg construction,wiring
- less reactive so dont react with
water and oxygen
- form ions with different charges eg Fe+2 or Fe+3
- form coloured compounds
- useful as catalysts
- between group 2 and 3
