periodi table

Cards (18)

  • Organic chemistry

    The study of carbon-based compounds
  • Inorganic chemistry
    The study of all other compounds that are not organic
  • Saturated hydrocarbon
    A hydrocarbon with only single bonds between carbon atoms
  • Unsaturated hydrocarbon
    A hydrocarbon with at least one double or triple bond between carbon atoms
  • Dimitry Ivanovich Mendeleev
    • Discovered the modern periodic table by grouping elements according to their physical and chemical properties
  • Julius Lothar
    • Discovered the modern periodic table by grouping elements according to their physical and chemical properties
  • Antoine-Laurent de Lavoiser
    • Arranged the first true periodic table
  • Johann Dobereiner
    • Arranged elements by their similarity into groups of three, called the Triad
  • John Newland
    • Established the Law of Octaves and grouped elements known in his time in order of relative atomic mass
  • Henry Mosley
    • Devised the presently used Periodic Table which he arranged by atomic number
  • Bonding
    The joining of two atoms in a stable arrangement
  • Ionic bond

    Results from the transfer of electrons from one element to another
  • Covalent bond
    Results from the sharing of electrons between two atoms
  • Ionic bond
    • Occurs between atoms of metals and nonmetals with very different electronegativity
    • The more electronegative atom gains one or more valence electrons and becomes an anion; the less electronegative atoms loses one or more valence electrons and becomes a cation
    • Bond formed by transfer of electrons
    • Produce ionized particles that are conductors and have high melting point
  • Covalent bond
    • Occurs between two or more nonmetallic elements of similar electronegativity
    • Formed by sharing electron pairs
    • Stable non-ionizing particles, they are not conductors at any state
    • Bonds in all the polyatomic ions and diatomic molecules are all covalent bonds
    • Can be polar and nonpolar
  • Nonpolar covalent bond

    Occurs between atoms with small electronegativity difference (<0.5 Pauling units), where electrons are shared equally
  • Polar covalent bond

    Occurs between atoms with moderate electronegativity difference (0.5 and 1.9 Pauling units), where electrons are not shared equally
  • Electronegativity
    A measure of an atom's attraction for the electrons it shares in a chemical bond with another atom
