Module 4.1 & 4.2 Quiz Flashcards
What did John Newlands(1865) propose?
The law of octaves
How did Newlands arrange the known elements on the periodic table?
He arranged them in order of increasing atomic mass
What did Newlands notice about the patterns of atoms upon the periodic table? (Think of his rule)
He noticed that atoms tended to repeat chemical and physical properties every 8 elements
What is a chemical property?
A characteristic of a substance that can be observed in a chemical reaction
What is the only way we will be able to see a chemical property?
We can only see a chemical property once the substance actually changes its makeup
What is a physical property?
A characteristic of matter that does not involve itself with a change in the substance’s chemical composition
What did Dmitri Mendeleev (1869) create?
He created the first periodic table by atomic mass and properties
What did Dmitri Mendeleev to create his periodic table?
Newland’s observations and other information
How many elements were known during Mendeleev’s time?
63
What were the gaps in Mendeleev’s table?
The elements that were yet to be discovered
What did Mendeleev find out the order of elements that he could not understand?
He had to switch the order of the some of the elements in order to keep the properties arranged correctly
What did Henry Moseley (1913) study?
Spectra lines of electrons
What is a spectral line?
A dark or bright line in a uniform and continuous spectrum
What did Moseley determine?
Elements should be arranged by increasing atomic number, not atomic mass.
What did Moseley’s discovery lead to?
The development of the modern periodic table
The periodic table has patterns in what?
Split into rows and columns
What is periodic law?
The repeating physical and chemical properties of elements change periodically with their atomic number
What is a group (family)?
A vertical column of elements in the periodic table
True or False: Elements in a group share chemical properties.
True
What is a period (row)?
A horizontal row of elements in the periodic table that has increasing atomic numbers
What is a valence electron?
An electron that is found in the outermost shell of the atom
What do valence electrons determine?
They determine the atom’s chemical properties
Elements in the same ____ have the same number of valence electrons.
Group
There can never be more than how many valence electrons?
8
What do electron dot diagrams do?
They show the amount of valence electrons
Where are the main group elements located?
Groups 1,2, 13-18
