Periodic Table Flashcards
What did Dobereiner realize about calcium, strontium and barium?
All three elements have similar properties
Who was the first person to create a periodic table?
Johann Dobereiner
What is the Periodic Table?
A representation of the classification and organization of the elements based on their properties
What are triads?
Groups of three elements with the same difference in relative atomic number
Who invented triads?
Johann Dobenierner
What is the the law of octaves?
When elements are placed in groups of eight on order or increasing atomic mass there is a periodic repetition in the properties of the elements
Who was the final person to create a periodic table?
Dimitri Mendeleev
What was special about Mendeleev’s Periodic Table?
He organized the elements on their similar chemical properties
Who had created a Periodic table at the same time as Mendeleev?
Lothon Mayer
Why was Mayer not recognized for his Periodic Table?
Because Mendeleev was first to publish his periodic table
What was the difference between Mendeleev’s Periodic table and Mayer’s?
Mendeleev organized the elements based on similar chemical properties while Mayer organized his on relative atomic masses
What is Mendeleev’s Periodic Law?
When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic mass there will be a periodic repetition in the chemical properties of the elements
Why was Mendeleev’s table more successful than his predecessors?
- Knew More Elements
- Left spaces for elements and did not try to put them in places they did not belong based on their properties
- Predict properties of undiscovered elements
What was the problem with Mendeleev’s periodic table?
Anomalies! Some elements such as nickel and cobalt in the table did not fit into Mendeleev’s law
Who discovered the solution to Mendeleev’s anomalies?
Robert Mosley
How did Mosley solve Mendeleev’s anomalies?
He bombarded measured emission x-rays with different cathode rays and discovered that the wavelengths decreased with atomic number. The anomalies disappeared when placed in increasing ATOMIC NUMBER
What is modern periodic law?
The arrangement of elements in increasing atomic number, creating a periodic repetition in chemical properties of elements
What accounts for the chemical properties of an atom?
The valance electron structure
Why are elements placed in a family?
They have the same electron structure
What are physical properties?
Related to the type of bonds between atoms, molecules and ions
What is the electron dot Lewis structure?
A short form for representing atoms
What does kernel represent?
The nucleus and inner electrons
What factors affect atomic volume?
Number of shells
Atomic number
Screening or shielding effect
How does the number of shells affect the atomic volume?
As the number of shells increase the atomic volume will increase
How does the atomic number affect the atomic volume?
As the atomic number increases the attraction of the electrons toward the nucleus will increase causing the atomic volume to decrease
How does the screening or shielding effect affect the atomic volume?
The presence of inner electrons will decrease the attraction of the valance electron to the nucleus causing the atomic volume to increase
What is the trend of the atomic volume within a family?
With the increase of atomic number there is an increase in atomic volume because each additional element will have an extra shell. There is as well an increase in the shielding effect due to the the increased effect of inner electrons.
What is the trend of the atomic volume within a period?
With the increasing atomic number the atomic volume initially decreased and then towards the end of the row begins to increase. The initial decrease in volume is due to the increasing number of protons in the nucleus.
What is an ion?
An atom with a net charge
How are ions made?
Ions are produced through the adding or removing of an electron from the atom or proton from the nucleus
What are poly atomic ions?
Two or more ions bonded together with a net charge
What is the law of the teenager?
To seek the path of minimum energy
What is first stage ionization?
The minimum amount of energy required to remove a valance electron from a gaseous atom in the ground state
What factors does ionization energy depend on?
Atomic number
Shield or screening effect
Distance of the valence electrons from nucleus( number of shells)
Number of valance electrons
How does the atomic number affect the ionization potential?
As the atomic number increases there will be increased attraction of the valance electron to the nucleus causing ionization potential to increase
How does the screening or shielding effect impact the ionization potential?
As the number of inner electrons increase the effective attraction of the nucleus on the valance electron will decrease causing the ionization potential to decrease
How does distance affect the ionization potential?
As the distances increases the attractive forces decrease and ionization potential decreases
How does the number of valance electrons impact the ionization potential?
Complete valance shells cause an atom to be extremely stable making it difficult to remove a valance electron this results in an increased ionization potential
What is the second stage ionization energy?
The minimum required energy to remove the most energetic valance electron from a gaseous singly charged ion in ground state
What methods are used to ionize an atom?
Electric current
Heat
Light
What is ionization?
Extreme case of energization of the atom or ion
What accounts for the chemical properties of an atom?
