Periodic Table Flashcards
what did newland do?
Built on Dalton’s law of octaves
(Every 8th element had similar properties)
Arranged by atomic mass
Two elements in same box
How is the modern periodic table arranged?
Metals/non metals
Arranged by proton number
Groups- number of electrons on outer shell
Periods-number of shells
What are the properties of group 1 alkali metals
1+ ion Li,Na,K less dense than water React with water to make H2 Universal indicator- purple Reactivity increases down the group Larger atom Less electrostatic force
Why are the properties of the group 7 halogens?
1- ion Colour vapours Diatomic molecules Forms ionic compounds with group 1 Reactivity decreases down the group Larger atom Less electrostatic forces to attract electron
Explain halogen displacement
A more reactive halogen will displace a less reactive one from a compound
Properties of transition metals compared with group 1
Higher density
Stronger/harder
How did Mendeleev order the periodic table?
Arranged by atomic masses
Similar properties
Left gaps for elements yet to be discovered
