Visible light consists of electromagnetic waves

Electromagnetic radiation: emission and transmission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.

Speed of light (c) in vacuum = 3.00 x 108 m/s

White light is separated into its color

components by a diffraction grating

The tracks of a compact disc act as a diffraction grating,producing a separation of the colors of white light.

Development of Periodic Table

Dmitri Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer independently came to the same conclusion about how elements should be grouped.

Metals

• good conductors of heat•and electricity

• shiny, ductile, malleable

• all solids with one exception

Physical Properties of the ElementsPhysical Properties of the Elements

Nonmetals

• poor conductors

• dull appearance, brittle

• consist of solids, liquids, and gases

Physical Properties of the ElementsPhysical Properties of the Elements

Metalloids

• Have some characteristics of metals and some of nonmetals

• For instance, silicon looks shiny, but is brittle and fairly poor conductor

Alkali Metals – Group 1A

• Alkali metals are soft solids

• Never found free in nature

• All react violently with water:

Soft solids but harder than alkali metals

• All very unreactive

• Exist as atoms
