Periodic Law

A. Dmitri Mendeleev

Dmitri Mendeleev (1869, Russian)

• Organized elements by

increasing atomic mass.

• Predicted the existence of

undiscovered elements.

B. Henry Mosely

Henry Mosely (1913, British)

• Organized elements by

increasing atomic number.

• Fixed problems in Mendeleev’s

arrangement.

Properties of elements repeat in a predictable way when atomic numbers are used to arrange elements into groups.

C. Periodic Law

Key Concept

How is the modern periodic table organized?

In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged by increasing number of protons.

• Properties of elements repeat

periodically when the elements are

A. Metallic Character

The majority of the elements on the periodic table are classified as metals.

• Metals are elements that are good conductors of electric current and heat.

• Except for mercury, metals are solid at room temperature.

• Most metals are solids. • Many metals are ductile;

that is, they can be bent or drawn in to wires. .

A. Metallic Character

Nonmetals generally have properties opposite to those of metals.

• Nonmetals are elements that are poor conductors of heat and electric current.

• Nonmetals have low boiling points – many nonmetals are gases at room temperature.

• Nonmetals that are solids at room temperature tend to be brittle. If they are hit with a hammer, they shatter or crumble.

A. Metallic Character

Metalloid elements are located on the periodic table between metals and nonmetals.

• Metalloids are elements with properties that fall between those of metals and nonmetals.

• For example, a metalloid’s ability to conduct electric current varies with temperature. Silicon (Si) and Germanium (Ge) are good insulators at low temperatures and good conductors at high temperatures.

Group (Family) Period

Each column in the periodic table is called a Group or Family.

• The elements in a group have the same number of valence electrons, so members of the same group in the periodic table have similar chemical properties.

• This pattern of repeating properties is the periodic law.

B. Rows and Columns

C. Family/Group Names

Group 1 Alkali Metals All have 1 valance electron All form +1 charged ions Hydrogen is NOT a metal and can also

form -1 charged ion. One of the most reactive groups on

periodic table

Family/Group Names

Group 2 Alkaline Earth Metals All have 2 valance electrons All from +2 charged ion

Family/Group Names

Group 3 to 12 Transition Metals All form positive ions but with

different values (+1 to +6)

Family/Group Names

Group 13 Boron Family All have 3 valance electrons All from +3 charged ions Mixture of metalloids and metals

Family/Group Names

Group 14 Carbon Family All have 4 valance electrons Form +4 or -4 charged ion Mixture of metals, metalloids, and

non metals.

Family/Group Names

Group 15 Nitrogen Family All have 5 valance electrons All form -3 ion Mixture of metals, metalloids, and

non metals.

Family/Group Names

Group 16 Oxygen Family All have 6 valance electrons All form -2 charged ions Mostly nonmetals though 1 metal

and one metaloids

Family/Group Names

Group 17 Halogens All have 7 valance electrons All form -1 charged ion Mostly nonmetals though 1 metalloid One of the most reactive groups on

the periodic table

Family/Group Names

Group 18 Noble Gases All have (except He) have 8 valance

electrons Most don’t react at all

They are “noble” All are nonmetal All are gases at room tempature

Dots represent the valence e-. Ex.: Sodium Ex.: Chlorine

B. Lewis Dot Diagrams

Start by putting one dot on each side of elements symbol.

Once all 4 side have one dot they can double up
