Chapter 6 Flashcards
How many elements were known by 1870
70
What year did chemist agree on how to determine the atomic mass
1860
John Newlands (1837-1898)
- proposed an organizational scheme for the element
- law of Octaves
- the law did not work for all the known elements
Luther Meyer (1830-1895) Dmitri Medellev (1834-1907)
- Demonstrated a connection between atomic mass and element properties
- Mendeleev came up with the periods table
- the table was not completely correct
Antione Lavoisier (1743-1794)
- Completed a list of all the elements
- Contained 33 elements
Henry Moseley (1887-1915)
- Arranged the elements by atomic number
- period law
Period Law
A periodic repetition of chemical and physical properties of the elements when they are arranged by increasing atomic number
Groups
Columns
Periods
- rows/families
- 7 periods
Representative elements
Referred as the main groups 1,2,13,18
Transition elements
groups 3-12
Metals
- shiny when smooth and clean
- solid at room temp.
- conductors of heat and electricity
- malleable and ductile
- most representative elements and all transition
Alkali metals
-Reactive and usually exist as compounds within other elements -group one except hydrogen
Alkaline earth metals
- highly reactive
- group 2
Inner transition metals
Type of group B
Lanthanide series
Elements from period 6 that follow lanthanum
Actinide series
-Elements from period 7 that follow actinium
Lanthanide
- Extensively as as phosphors
- emit light when struck by electrons
Non-elements
- generally gases or brittle, dull looking solids
- poor conductors
- liquid a room temp
