Chapter 5-6 Flashcards
was the first to discover some elements had similar properties (early 1800’s) –
Johann Doberiener
he also figured if you average mass of 3 elements, is the mass of the middle element -
Johann Doberiener
he organized elements in order of increasing mass -
John Newlands
he noticed that properties of the elements seem to repeat every 8 elements
John Newlands
1-7 elements =
different properties
8th element =
property like element 1
9th element =
property like element 2
repeating patterns ..
octaves
he wroter properties of each elements on cards & then arranged them in various ways =
Dmitri Mendeleev
he organized the 1st periodic table =
Dmitri Mendeleev
he worked under Rutherford
Henry Moseley
he used x-rays to assign each element a whole #, called the atomic # =
Henry Moseley
he organized elements by atomic #, not mass # =
Henry Moseley
how many elements are there?
117 elements
elements w/ similar properties
arranged in columns
numbered 1-18, starting at the left
group
elements in a row
numbered by energy levels, starting at the top
period
as the number ___________, so does the number of ___________ in the period.
increase
elements
why was the f-block taken out and put in the bottom =
because it was to hard
they’re silver-gray, except copper & gold
metals
they’re also called semimetals =
metalloids
they have high melting points -
metals
they don’t reflect light =
non-metals
they DO reflect light when polished -
metals
they are poor conductors of heat and electricity -
non-metals
they can be bent / hammered flat -
metals
they are good conducters of heat and electricity -
metals
they are properties of metals and nonmetals
metalloids
“silicon valley” =
metalloids
materials that engineers work w/
metalloids
