    Study Notes

    Mendeleev’s Periodic Law

    • In a period, elements gradually change from metallic to non-metallic character as you move down the periodic table
    • Physical and chemical properties are a periodic function of their atomic masses
    • The same element always has the same chemical properties

    Mendeleev’s Periodic Table

    • Mendeleev's Periodic Table was published in 1872
    • He left gaps where he thought undiscovered elements would eventually be found
    • Mendeleev correctly thought that there should be a separate place in the periodic table for isotopes of elements, since isotopes share chemical properties but have different atomic masses
    • Mendeleev used the letter “R” to represent the element of a particular group
    • Hydrides of any element of group IV are written as RH4, for example, CH4
    • Oxides of any element of the same group are written as RO, for example, CO

    Grouping of Elements

    • Elements in the same group (vertical column) have similar properties
    • Elements in the same period (horizontal row) have properties that change gradually

    The Main Groups (1-18)

    • Have similar properties
    • Mostly metallic (e.g., lithium, sodium, potassium), some are semi-metals (e.g., arsenic)
    • The character of elements becomes more acidic as you move down a group
    • For example, lithium is a metal; it has the strongest metallic character in the group and is extremely reactive
    • For example, caesium is a metal; it is a weak metal with less reactivity than lithium
    • Elements become larger as you move down a group; size increases
    • Elements become less reactive as you move down a group

    The Transitional Metals

    • Have similar properties
    • Mostly metals (e.g., Copper, Silver, Gold)
    • Have variable valency, which is the ability to form different ions
    • Elements in the same group (vertical column) have similar properties

    Defects in Mendeleev’s Periodic Law

    • Mendeleev's law states that elements gradually change from metallic to a non-metallic character as you move across the period, but there are exceptions
    • Mendeleev's law doesn't clarify why properties repeat periodically
    • It doesn't account for position of isotopes, for example, isotopes of an element must be given separate places in the periodic table since they have different atomic masses, but Mendeleev's table doesn’t assign separate places to isotopes
    • It groups chemically dissimilar elements in the same group, for example, copper and silver bear no relation to each other
    • Atomic masses are not always consistent
    • Mendeleev’s law fails to explain the periodicity of chemical properties
