THE PERIODIC TABLE
http://www.dayah.com/periodic/Images/periodic table.png
• Mendeleev’s
Periodic Table
(Figure 6.3)
• Arranged elements
into rows and
columns
• Elements ordered
by atomic mass.
THE PERIODIC TABLE
• Modern periodic
tables (Figure 6.5)
• Also arrange
elements into rows
and columns.
• Elements are
ordered by
increasing atomic
number
PERIODIC LAW
• There are 7 periods (rows) in the periodic
table.
• Period 1 = 2 elements
• Period 2 = 8 elements
• Period 3 = 8 elements
• Period 4 = 18 elements
• Period 5 =18 elements
• Period 6 = 32 elements
• Period 7 = 24 elements
• Each period = principal energy level.
PERIODIC LAW
• Elements within a Group (column) have
similar properties.
• The properties of elements within a period
change as you move across a period from left
to right.
• PERIODIC LAW STATES: when elements
are arranged in order of increasing atomic
number, there is a periodic repetition of
their physical and chemical properties.
Metals, Nonmetals, Metalloids
• Metals
• 80% of elements
• Good conductors of
heat and electric
current
• All are solids at
room temperature
(EXCEPT: mercury!)
• Ductile (drawn into
wires)
• Most are malleable
Metals, Nonmetals, Metalloids
• Nonmetals
• Found in the upper
right hand corner of
the periodic table
• Most are gases at
room temperature (i.e.
oxygen and nitrogen)
• Poor conductors of heat
and electric current
(except carbon)
• Solid nonmetals tend to
be brittle
Metals, Nonmetals, Metalloids
• Metalloids
• Properties similar to
both metals and
nonmetals
• Depending on the
conditions a
metalloid may
behave like a metal
or a non metal.
Checkpoint
• Which of these sets of elements have
similar physical and chemical properties?
• a. oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, boron
• b. strontium, magnesium, calcium, beryllium
• c. nitrogen, neon, nickel, niobium
• Identify each element as a metal,
metalloid, or nonmetal.
• a. gold metal
c. sulfur non metal
• b. silicon metalloid d.barium metal
Classifying Elements
• For helium, label the element symbol, element
name, atomic number and the atomic mass.
• Label all groups and periods
• Color code (entire box) with key
• Metals
• Non metals
• Metalloids
• Gas
• Liquid
• Solid
• Indicate where to find:
• Alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, noble
gases
• *** Put your name and date at the top!
The Representative Elements
• Groups IA through 7A.
• The valence electrons (electrons in the
highest occupied energy level)= group
number!
Transitional Elements
•
•
•
•
Columns 3-12 (or Groups IB-VIIIB)
Transition metals and inner transition metals
Transition metals have e- in d orbitals (main body)
Inner transition metals have e- in f orbitals (formerly
known as rare earth metals)
Practice Problems
• Use figure 6.9 and Figure 6.12 (or the
s,p,d,f handout) to write the electron
configurations of the following elements.

A. Carbon
1s2 2s2 2p2
B. Strontium
1s2 2s2 2p63s23p63d104s24p65s2
C. Vanadium
1s2 2s2 2p63s23p63d34s2
PERIODIC TRENDS
• Atomic Radius
• 1/2 the distance
between the nuclei of
two atoms of the same
element when the
atoms are joined.
• Measured in
picometers(pm)
– there are one trillion
(1012 pm in one meter)
• Decreases because #
of protons increases
therefore attractive
forces are pulling in
the e-’s .
• Increases because
you are adding more
IONS
• Ions-charged atoms
due to the gain/loss of
electrons
• Anion- ion with a
negative (-) charge
(nonmetals)
• Cation-ion with a
positive (+) charge
(metals)
• When compounds form,
elements gain or lose e’s to form ions in order
to attain a stable noble
gas configuration.
Ionization Energy
• Ionization Energy (IE)
• The amount of energy
needed or absorbed to
remove an electron
from an atom.
• The further away an ethe less IE needed to
remove the e-.( but also
consider protons and
electrons are
increasing)
IONIC SIZE
• Anions (-) are larger
than cations (+) due to
taking e-’s away which
reduces the radius.
• Among the anions and
cations the trend is the
same as atomic radius
• Decreases 
• Increases 
ELECTRONEGATIVITY
• Electronegativity
(EN)
• The ability of an
atom to attract itself
the electrons when
in a compound
(bonded).
• Electrons shift
toward the more EN
atom
PERIODIC TREND
