Study Notes
Chapter 11: The Periodic Table
- The periodic table organizes elements based on recurring properties.
- Dmitri Mendeleev created the first periodic table in 1869.
- The table is organized by increasing atomic mass.
- Elements with similar properties are grouped together.
- Mendeleev left spaces in the table for undiscovered elements and predicted their properties.
Organizing by Properties
- Elements' properties repeat in a periodic pattern.
- Fundamental patterns in nature are recognized.
- Elements with repeating properties are grouped together.
Periodic Law
- Elements' properties repeat periodically when arranged by atomic mass.
Today's Table
- Elements grouped according to properties.
- Groups/Families (vertical columns)
- Periods (horizontal rows)
Groups/Families
- Vertical columns on the periodic table.
- Alkali metals (Group 1) react with water to form basic solutions.
- Alkaline earth metals (Group 2)
- Halogens (Group 17)
- Noble gases (Group 18)
- Transition metals (Groups 3-12)
Periods
- Horizontal rows on the periodic table.
- Number of elements varies between periods.
- Lanthanide and actinide series are grouped separately.
Patterns in Electron Structure
- Electron structures influence properties.
- Forces of attraction and repulsion in atoms affect structure.
Electron Configurations for Some Elements
- Valence electrons determine bonding.
- Alkali metals have one valence electron.
- Alkaline earth metals have two valence electrons.
- Halogens have seven valence electrons.
- Noble gases have eight valence electrons.
- Transition metals have varying numbers of d electrons.
Trends in Electron Configurations
- Valence electrons in outermost s and p orbitals.
- Atoms in the same column have similar valence electron configurations.
Summary
- Representative elements have valence electrons in s or p orbitals.
- Transition elements have valence electrons in d orbitals.
- Noble gases are unreactive due to filled outermost orbitals.
- Alkali metals lose one electron to form +1 ions.
- Alkaline earth metals lose two electrons to form +2 ions.
- Halogens gain one electron to form -1 ions.
