Proposed by Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner in 1828 - The atomic mass of the middle element was almost equal to the average of the atomic masses of the first and the third elements.
Law of Octaves
Proposed by John Alexander Rreina Newlands in 1865 - According to him, when elements were arranged according to their atomic weights, every eighth element had properties similar to each other.
Early Periodic Table of Elements
1. Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev in 1869 arranged the elements according to their atomic mass.
2. Lothar Meyer arranged the elements according to their atomic volume
Mendeleev's law
The physical and chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic masses.
PeriodicLaw
Modern Periodic Table
It shows the basicinformation about the elements.
The information you can get from this table can be used to predict physical and chemicalproperties of the elements.
This may also predict the properties of elements that may be possiblydiscovered.
Periods
There are 7 periods.
It shows the number of energy levels the atom of each element has.
Groups
3 Main groups:
Group A – Representative elements (1,2, 13-18)
Group B – Transition elements (3-12)
Inner Transition elements – Lanthanides and Actinides
IUPAC Grouping (1-18)
Representative Elements
1 (1A) – Alkali Metals
2 (2A)– Alkaline Earth Metals
13 (3A) – Boron Group
14 (4A)– Carbon Group
15 (5A)– Nitrogen Group
16 (6A)– Chalcogens
17 (7A)– Halogens
18 (8A)– Noble Gases
Blocks
s block – Groups 1 and 2 (Sublevel S contains 2 electrons)
p block – Group 13-18 (Sublevel p contains 6 electrons)
d block – all transition elements (Sublevel d contains 10 e)
f block – all inner transition elements (Sublevel f contains 14 e)
Atomic Radius
It is one-half the distance between the nuclei of identical atoms that are bonded together.
Ionic Radius
An atom that either gains or loses electrons.
Cation - an ion that loses electrons
Anion - an ion that gains electrons
Ionization - the process of an atom losing or gaining electrons
Ionization Energy
The energy required to remove an electron from an atom
It measures how tightly bound an electron is to an atom
LOW ionization energy = easy removal of electrons
Ionization energy is always positive.
Ionization Energy
Left to right within a period, increases
Top to bottom within a group, decreases
Electron Affinity
The amount of energy released or absorbed when an electron is added to an atom to form a negative ion.
It is the measure of the atom's tendency to form ANION.
Left to right – increases
Top to bottom - decreases
Electronegativity
The ability of an atom to attract electrons.
Left to right (within period) – increases
Top to bottom (Within a group) - decreases
Metallic Character
METALS – left side of the "staircase" except Hydrogen
METALLOIDS – within the "staircase"
NONMETTALS – right side of the "staircase" with Hydrogen
