c2- the periodic table Flashcards
periodic table are arranged in columns called
and what ae periods ,
groups
rows
where are the trasition metals ?
se to zn .
where are the non metals ?
A staircase from aluminium .
Why is it called the periodic table ?
As it is arrnaged with elements with similar propeorties at regular intervals .
All elements in a group have …
simialr chemical propeorites .
-they all reacti in a similar way - as all the lements ina group have the same number of electrons in their outer energy level .
What did Johann Dobereiner notice ?
-He noticed that elemnts with similar properties often occured in threes , these are called “triads”.
What happend 40 years after Johann ?
John Newlands arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic weiht .
-He saw that every eight elemnt react in the ame way - called this his law of octaves .
Problem with John Newlands idea .
-y always sticking to the exact order of the atmoic weight
some elements grouped and togther and they had totally differnet propeorties ,
-meant that law of octaves wasnt taken seriously y other scienitsts .
What Dmitri Mendeleev do ?
-e devloped the first modern Peroidic table .
-Mendeleev started by arranging the elemnts in order of increasign atmoic weight .
What Dmitri Mendeelv do that ONLY he did ?
-If he needed to swwitch the order of speicific elements , he did so it fitted patterns of elements in the same group .
-also realised , some elemnts have not been yet discovered , so he left gaps for them
what happened next with mendeelev’s gaps ?
-as he was so confident in his periodi ctabe , he actulaly predicted propeorties of some undiscovered elements , when they later were found , mendeleev’s predcitions were correct .
What was one way the modern periodc table differs from Mendeeleev;s .
The modern periodic table , elements arranged in order of atmoic number . (protons werent discoevrred tthen so mendeelev ordered in ATMOIC WEIGHT ).
What is the problem with ordering in atomic weight ?
-Elements can appear in wrong order due to presence of isotopes .
What is another way the modern periodic table differs from Mendeelev’s ?
The modern periodic table has group 0 ; noble gases (had not been discoevred when Mendeleev published his table ).
What are group 1 metals called ?
The alkali metals .
-All group 1 metals havw 1 electron in their outer enegry level .
-group 1 metals are soft .
-low melting points and densities
-form 1+ions
