Periodic Flashcards
Arrangement of atoms in various energy levels
Electron configuration
Tool used to show the arrangement of elements in an organized manner
Periodic table of elements
Elements are arranged in increasing atomic weight.
Has similar physical and chemical properties which occurs after each interval of 7 elements.
Who is the proponent?
Law of Octaves by John Newlands
Elements are arranged in increasing atomic mass, in groups if 3 (triads) having similar chemical properties.
Who is the proponent?
Law of Triads by Dobereiner
Created his own version of the periodic table listing the most known elements at the time by their increasing atomic mass and who is the proponent.
Modern periodic table by Dmitri Mendeleev
His arrangement left gaps, which led to the discovery of elements yet to be discovered.
Modern periodic table by Dmitri Mendeleev
Introduced the concept of atomic numbers in the periodic table.
Modern periodic table by Henry Moseley
Elements are arranged in increasing atomic number.
Atomic mass is a weighted average of all naturally occurring isotopes.
The periodic table
2 useful ways to classify elements
The metals, nonmetals, and metalloids and periods and families.
Located on the left side of the periodic table
Metals
Are brittle, aren’t malleable and ductile, and poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Nonmetals
Tend to gain electrons in a chemical reaction
Nonmetals
They are economically important as they have unique conductivity properties which makes them valuable in the semiconductor and computer chip industry
Metalloids or semi-metals
Are the horizontal rows in the periodic table and are numbered 1-7 in the left side of the periodic table.
They do not have very similar properties
Periods
Are the vertical columns in the periodic table. Older methods used are roman numerals and letters.
They have similar properties
Families or groups
Highly reactive with water
1A Alkali metals
Reactive with water, and increases as you move down the group
2A alkali earth metals
Not as well-known as other elements.
Most known element is Aluminum
3A Earth metals/Boron Group
Refers to their ability to carry charge of 4
4A Tetrels/Carbon Group
Intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals
5A Pnictogens/ Nitrogen Group
changing from nonmetallic to metallic as you move down the family
6A Chalcogens/ Oxygen Group
Creates/ Forms salts; high electron affinities
7A Halogens
Highly stable, unreactive
8A noble gases
D and F block metals with 2 valence electrons
3B-12B Transition metals
Specific pattern present in the periodic table which illustrate the different aspects of certain elements including its size and electronic properties
