- SCIENTISTS WHO ATTEMPTED TO CLASSIFY THE ELEMENTS IN THE 19TH
CENTURY:
- Johann Dobereiner 1817 formed triads of elements that were similar in
properties.
- John Newlands 1863 arranges elements in order of increasing atomic
masses.
|
|

|
- Dimitri Mendeleev 1869 said properties of elements were function of
their atomic masses. He arranged elements in order of their masses and
elements with similar properties in horizontal rows. He predicted some
of the elements that were unknown at that time. Ekasilicon.

|
- Henry Moseley arranged elements in order of increasing atomic number.
- Proposed the Periodic Law – The chemical and physical properties of the
elements are periodic functions of their atomic number.

|
- Each horizontal row is a period.
- All begin with an active metal and end with a noble gas.
- Each vertical column in a group or family. 18 columns.
- The Lanthanide series begins lanthanum (no.57)
- The Actinide series begins with actinium (no. 89

|
- An atom with 8 electrons in its outer orbitals (s & p) is stable,
not reactive.
|
|
6
|
- Metals are hard, shiny (luster), conduct heat and electricity, are
malleable (hammered into sheets) and ductile (can be drawn into a
wire).
- Metals have 3 or less electrons in their valence level.
- Metals tend to lose electrons easily in the presence or other
substances.

|
- Nonmetals are gases or brittle solids at room temperatures.
- Nonmetals have 5 or more electrons in their valence levels.
- Nonmetals tend to gain electrons

|
- Metalloids are also called semimetals.
- Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
- Metalloids touch the red line on the periodic table.

|
- Group I are called alkali metals (except hydrogen). of alkali metals:
- Characteristics
- React with water to form an
alkali
- Found in nature only as
compounds
- Very reactive because the S1
- electrons is easily lost.
- Will form +1 ions
|
|
12
|
- Group II are called alkali earth metals.
- Characteristics of alkali earth metals:
- React with water to form weak
- alkaline solution.
- Found in nature as compounds.
- Will form +2 ions
|
|
13
|
- Are known as the transitions elements.
- Are metals with variable properties.
- Most form +2 or +3 ions.
|
|
14
|
- Are known as the Boron family.
- Form +3 ions
|
|
15
|
- Known as the carbon family.
- Carbon is the central element in forming organic compounds.
- Silicon is the central element in forming silicates and silicon chips.
- Can form +4, +2, -2, -4 ions.
|
|
16
|
- Known as the nitrogen family.
- Characteristics:
- Not very reactive elements
- Usually form –3 ions.
|
|
17
|
- Known as Chalcogens.
- Characteristics:
- Highly reactive nonmetals.
- Will form compounds with nearly
- every other element.
|
|
18
|
- Know as the halogens.
- Characteristics:
- are active nonmetals.
- Fluorine in the most active of
the
- nonmetals.
- Do not occur free in nature.
- Form –1 ions.
|
|
19
|
- Are called the noble gases.
- Characteristics:
- Do not combine with other
elements.
- Valence level is filled.
- Recently, Krypton and Xenon
have
- been forced to combine.
