History of the Periodic Table

SECTION 1

¡ When the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev heard about the new atomic masses he decided to include the new values in a chemistry textbook that he was writing

¡ Mendeleev hoped to organize the elements according to their properties

MENDELEEV AND CHEMICAL PERIODICITY

Page 4: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ He placed the name of each known element on a card, together with the atomic mass of the element and a list of its observed physical and chemical properties !

¡ He then arranged the cards according to various properties and looked for trends or patterns

Page 5: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ Mendeleev noticed that when the elements were arranged in order of increasing atomic mass, certain similarities in their chemical properties appeared at regular intervals !!

¡ Such a repeating pattern is referred to as periodic

Page 6: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ The second hand of a watch, for example, passes over any given mark at periodic, 60-second intervals

¡ The circular waves created by a drop of water hitting a water surface are also periodic

Page 7: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ Mendeleev created a table in which elements with similar properties were grouped together—a periodic table of the elements

¡ His first periodic table was published in 1869

Page 8: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ Mendeleev placed iodine, I (atomic mass 127), after tellurium, Te (atomic mass 128)

¡ This contradicted the pattern of listing the elements in order of increasing atomic mass

¡ It allowed Mendeleev to place tellurium in a group of elements with similar properties

Page 9: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ Reading horizontally across Mendeleev’s table, this group includes oxygen, O, sulfur, S, and selenium, Se

¡ Iodine could also be placed in the group it looks like chemically (includes fluorine, F, chlorine, Cl, and bromine, Br)

Page 10: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ Mendeleev’s procedure left several empty spaces in his periodic table

¡ In 1871, he predicted the existence and properties of the elements that would fill three of the spaces

¡ By 1886, all three elements had been discovered ¡ scandium, Sc, gallium, Ga, and germanium, Ge ¡ Their properties are very similar to those predicted by

Mendeleev

Page 11: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ Success of Mendeleev’s predictions persuaded most chemists to accept his periodic table and earned him credit as the discoverer of the periodic law

¡ Two questions remained ¡ (1) Why could most of the elements be arranged in the order of

increasing atomic mass but a few could not? ¡ (2) What was the reason for chemical periodicity?

¡ In 1911 à English scientist Henry Moseley examined the spectra of 38 different metals

¡ Moseley discovered a previously unknown pattern

MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW

¡ The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to nuclear charge, or the number of protons in the nucleus

¡ Moseley’s work led to both the modern definition of atomic number and the recognition that atomic number, not atomic mass, is the basis for the organization of the periodic table

Page 14: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ Moseley’s discovery was consistent with Mendeleev’s ordering of the periodic table by properties rather than strictly by atomic mass

¡ For example, according to Moseley, tellurium, with an atomic number of 52, belongs before iodine, which has an atomic number of 53

Page 16: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ Today, Mendeleev’s principle of chemical periodicity is correctly stated in the periodic law àThe physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers

¡ When the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, elements with similar properties appear at regular intervals

Page 17: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ Periodicity with respect to atomic number can be observed in any group of elements in the periodic table

¡ Consider the noble gases of Group 18 ¡ The first noble gas is helium, He ¡ It has an atomic number of 2 ¡ The elements following helium in atomic number have

completely dif ferent properties until the next noble gas, neon, Ne, which has an atomic number of 10, is reached

PERIODICITY

¡ Elements are arranged vertically in the periodic table in groups that share similar chemical properties

¡ They are also organized horizontally in rows, or periods !

¡ The length of each period is determined by the number of electrons that can occupy the sublevels being filled in that period

PERIODS AND BLOCKS OF THE PERIODIC TABLE

Page 31: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ In the first period, the 1s sublevel is being filled ¡ The 1s sublevel can hold a total of two electrons ¡ Therefore, the first period consists of two elements—hydrogen

and helium

Page 32: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ In the second period, the 2s sublevel , which can hold two electrons, and the 2p sublevel, which can hold six electrons, are being filled

¡ So, the second period totals eight elements

Page 33: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡Filling of the 3s and 3p sublevels accounts for the eight elements of the third period

!!!!

¡Filling 3d and 4d sublevels in addition to the s and p sublevels adds 10 elements to both the fourth and fifth periods

¡Therefore, each of these periods totals 18 elements

Page 34: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ Filling 4f sublevels in addition to s, p, and d sublevels adds 14 elements to the sixth period, which totals 32 elements

Page 35: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ The period of an element can be determined from the element’s electron configuration

¡ For example, arsenic, As, has the electron configuration [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p3

¡ The 4 in 4p3 indicates that arsenic’s highest occupied energy level is the fourth energy level

¡ Arsenic is therefore in the fourth period in the periodic table

¡ The elements of Group 1 of the periodic table (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium) are known as the alkali metals

¡ In their pure state, all of the alkali metals have a silvery appearance and are soft enough to cut with a knife

GROUP 1 – THE ALKALI METALS

Page 42: Periodic Law - WordPress.com · MOSELEY AND THE PERIODIC LAW! The elements in the periodic table fit into patterns better when they were arranged in increasing order according to

¡ Because they are so reactive, alkali metals are not found in nature as free elements

¡ They combine strongly with most nonmetals ¡ And they react strongly with water to produce

hydrogen gas and aqueous solutions of substances known as alkalis

¡ Because of their extreme reactivity with air or moisture, alkali metals are usually stored in kerosene or oil

¡ Like the Group 2 elements, helium has an ns2 group configuration

¡ Yet it is part of Group 18 ¡ Because its highest occupied energy level is filled by two

electrons, helium possesses special chemical stability, showing the unreactive nature of a Group 18 element

¡ By contrast, the Group 2 metals have no special stability - their highest occupied energy levels are not filled because each metal has an empty available p sublevel
