HISTORY OF PERIODIC TABLEBy the Mid-1800s, there were 65 known elements.
Scientists began to recognize patterns after recording information such as:chemical reactivity (ex: bonding patterns)
physical properties (ex: state of matter, mass)
HISTORY . . . DMITRI MENDELEEV (1834-1907)Wrote out elements in order of increasing ATOMIC MASS, and ended up with a table!
Now organized according to:ATOMIC NUMBERNUMBER OF ELECTRONS
Why “PERIODIC”?Periodic means repeating patterns and properties.
PERIODIC TABLE ORGANIZATIONThe periodic table is arranged in rows and columns.
PERIODHorizontal rows on table7 in totalAtomic Mass and Atomic Number increase from LEFT TO RIGHT
ORGANIZATION . . . GROUP
Also known as FAMILYVertical columns on tableElements of the same group have similar but not identical properties.
There are two number systems for groups:CURRENT:1-18OLD: ROMAN NUMERALS
IA – VIIIAIB - VIIIB
ORGANIZATION . . . GROUP 1 – Alkali Metals LINK
Soft, silver, react violently with waterGROUP 2 – Alkaline Earth Metals
Shiny, silver, light, reactiveGROUP 17 – Halogens
Extremely reactive, poisonousGROUP 18 – Noble Gases
INERT Not reactive under normal laboratory conditions
Organization . . . REPRESENTATIVE ELEMENTSAKA Group A elementsGroups IA-VIIIA, or 1, 2, 13-18
These elements illustrate the ENTIRE RANGE OF PROPERTIES OF ELEMENTS.
ORGANIZATION . . . TRANSITION ELEMENTS
AKA Group B elementsGroup IB-VIIIB, or the “lower” groups
Metallic elements that exhibit some different properties due to their electron arrangements.
ORGANIZATION . . . INNER TRANSITION ELEMENTSRemoved from the main table as a matter of convenience in organizing table
Two names:57-71 LANTHANIDES (rare earth)
89-103 ACTINIDES (radioactive)

METALS
Nonmetals
Metalloids
TYPES OF ELEMENTSThere are three types of elements on the periodic table:MetalsNonmetalsMetalloids
The STAIRCASE LINE on the periodic table divides the METALS and the NONMETALS.
The ratio of metals to nonmetals is about 4:1.
METALSSubstances found on the Left Hand Side of the staircase on the periodic table.
Physical properties include:ShinySolids at room temperature (except Hg)
Good conductors of electricityDuctile (can be stretched into wire)Malleable (can be hammered in shapes)
NON-METALSSubstances found on the Right Hand Side of the staircase on the periodic table.
Physical properties include:DullBrittleS, L, or G at room temperaturePoor conductors/good insulators
METALLOIDSAKA semi-metalsSubstances that are found ON the
staircase on the periodic table.Have properties of BOTH metals and nonmetals.
In general,Hard, but sometimes brittleSolidHigh melting pointsWeak (or not at all) conductors of electricity
HYDROGENThe “rebel” of the periodic table!
It does not really “belong” anywhere.
Hydrogen is usually located on the top left hand corner of the table, even though it has both metallic and nonmetallic properties.
HOMEWORK1. What do calcium chloride, potassium bromide, and
magnesium oxide have in common? (Hint: the answer is NOT that they end in “-ide”!)
2. Give an example of each of the following:1. Alkali metal2. Halogen nonmetal3. Transition element4. Lanthanide5. Representative element6. Noble gas7. Alkaline Earth Metal8. Inner Transition element9. Metalloid10. Actinide
