History of the Periodic
Table
Each group will be given some cards. Can your group
figure out what card is missing? What is it (number
and suit)?
Antoine Lavoisier
In the late 1790s, he compiled a list of the known elements at the time.
This list contained 23 elements.
1743 - 1794
But times were about to change…
In the 1800’s, there were many changes in the world • Electricity
• Spectrometer
• Industrial Revolution
As a result, there was an increase in the number of known elements • By the 1870, there were 70 known
elements
An agreement is reached…
Then in the 1860’s, chemist agreed upon a method for accurately determining the atomic mass of elements.
John Newlands
Noticed when elements were arranged by atomic mass, they repeated properties every 8th element.
He used the word periodic to describe this pattern
He gave it the name the Law of Octaves
1838-1898
Unfortunately…
Did not work for all the elements
Criticized because of its association with music
Did give others the idea of repeating properties - periodic
We Hate It
Lothar Meyer and Dmitri Mendeleev
Each made a connection between atomic mass and properties of elements
1830-1895 1834 - 1907
The winner is…
Mendeleev is given credit because his was published first
In addition, Mendeleev predicted unknown elements
However, not completely correct – new elements weren’t in correct order
What do you notice about elements 27 & 28 and 52 & 53?
Mendeleev
Henry Moseley
Solved this problem by arranging the elements by increasing atomic number.
The periodic repetition of chemical and physical properties of elements when arranged by atomic number is now known as Periodic Law
1887-1915
Which leads to the Modern Periodic
Table
Boxes each with:
H
1
Hydrogen
1.00794
Element Name
Atomic Number
Atomic Symbol
Atomic Mass
That are arranged by increasing atomic numbers
Remember
Atomic number = the number of protons = the number of electrons (if neutral)
Atomic Mass on the Periodic table is the average mass of the isotopes
• But the mass number of each isotope is the protons plus the neutrons
Chemical Symbol
The symbol that refers to the element
First letter is capitalized, second letter (if applicable) is lower case
Not all symbols are based on English names for the elements, some come from their Latin names or even other languages
– Silver – Ag – argentum
– Antimony – Sb -stibium
– Lead – Pb – plumbum
– Copper – Cu – cyprium
– Tin – Sn – stannum
– Iron – Fe - ferrum
– Mercury – Hg - hydrargyrum
– Gold – Au - aurum
Columns and Rows
The columns are called Families or Groups • Earlier Version had 1-8 followed by A or B
Group A elements are called Representative Elements
Group B elements are called Transition Elements
• Modern Version labels the columns with 1-18
Rows are called Periods
• Seven periods for the seven energy levels (rings)
Classifying Elements
Three Types of Elements
• Metals
• Nonmetals
• Metalloids
Metals
Shiny when smooth and clean
Solid at room temperature
• Only exception - Mercury
Good conductors of heat and electricity
Most are ductile and malleable
Most of the elements on the table are metals, which are in blue
Nonmetals
Upper Right side of the Periodic Table
Generally brittle solids or gases
Poor conductors of heat and electricity
Bromine is the only liquid at room temperature
“The Yellow Elements”
Metalloids
A.k.a – the semi-metals
Boxes bordering the stair-step
Physical and chemical characteristics of both metals and nonmetals
“The Green Stair-stepping Elements”
