IMPORTANT SCIENTISTS TO KNOW: Know what contribution to the development of the periodic table
that each of these scientists made:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Lavoisier, 1789:
Mendeleev, 1869:
Moseley, 1913:
Seaborg, 1945:
Identify the following diagrams. Write the name of the scientist who made these early attempts at a
periodic table:
This table contained the 63 elements that had
been discovered at the time. It also left “blanks”
where undiscovered elements would be placed.
Whose table was this?
This Table of Simple Elements had 32
substances. Some were not elements,
but were compounds or mixtures. It
even contained heat and light as
elements.
Whose table was this?
The modern periodic table was described
by this scientist. His revision of the periodic
table reflected the new information
discovered about quantum mechanics. He
also separated the lanthanides and
actinides into their own block.
Whose table was this?
This scientist demonstrated that elements are unique
based on the number of protons in the atom. His periodic
table was the first to organize the elements by atomic
number (the number of protons).
Whose table was this?
For the following diagram, label and color all of the following groups:
Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, Metals, Metalloids, Non-metals, Halogens, Noble Gases,
Lanthanides, Actinides

A neutral atom contains the same number of protons and electrons.
An ion is an atom that _____________________________________.
Isotopes are atoms that _________________________________________________.
The following describes different kinds of atoms. There is one that is a neutral atom, one that is an
isotope, and one that is an ion. Each of the following shows a square from the periodic table for a
particular element. Read a description of the atom and answer the questions.
This atom has 11 protons, 12
neutrons and 10 electrons.
What element is this? _______
Is this atom neutral, an ion or
an isotope? ________________
This atom has 17 protons, 19
neutrons and 17 electrons.
What element is this?
____________
Is this atom neutral, an ion or
an isotope? ________________
This atom has 6 protons, 8
neutrons and 6 electrons. What
element is this? ____________
Is this atom neutral, an ion, or
an isotope? _______________
