Study Notes
Historical Development of the Periodic Table
- Lavoisier (1789) categorized 33 elements into metals and nonmetals, but excluded states of matter.
- Dalton (1808) introduced relative atomic masses, a crucial step for future classification.
- Dobereiner (1817) proposed the triad concept, grouping elements with similar properties based on their atomic weights.
- Berzelius (1828) provided a detailed table of atomic weights and standardized element symbols.
- Dobereiner (1829) identified the halogen triad further supporting element grouping.
- de Chancourtois (1862) arranged elements on a cylinder, showing vertical similarities in properties.
- Newlands (1865) noted periodicity every eighth element, the Law of Octaves.
- Meyer (1870) developed a periodic table highlighting periodic trends in physical and chemical properties, ordering 56 elements by atomic mass.
- Mendeleev (1869) published the first modern periodic table, organizing elements by atomic weight, leaving gaps for undiscovered elements, and predicting their properties.
- Moseley (1911) proposed using atomic number rather than atomic weight, leading to the modern periodic table.
Modern Periodic Law
- The modern periodic law states: Properties of elements repeat periodically when arranged by increasing atomic number. This repetition arises from periodic variations in electron configurations.
Periodic Classification of Elements
- Periods: Seven periods correspond to energy levels of outermost electrons. Properties vary within a period.
- Groups: Eighteen groups; elements in the same group share similar properties due to similar electron configurations.
Types of Elements
- Metals: Predominantly solids, good conductors, malleable, ductile, with metallic luster.
- Nonmetals: Predominantly gaseous or solids; poor conductors. Crucial for organic compounds; examples include C, H, O.
- Metalloids: Exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals. Some examples are boron, silicon, germanium, and arsenic.
Periodic Trends
- Atomic Radius: Decreases across a period, increases down a group.
- Ionic Radius: Decreases across a period, increases down a group.
- Ionization Energy: Increases across a period, decreases down a group.
- Electron Affinity: Increases across a period, generally decreases down a group.
- Electronegativity: Increases across a period, decreases down a group.
- Metallic/Nonmetallic Character: Decreases across a period, and increases going down a group.
Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom
- Atomic Orbitals: Regions of high electron probability, described by s, p, d, and f orbitals with varying shapes and energy levels.
- Electron Configuration: Arrangement of electrons in orbitals, illustrated using specific notation describing subshells and electrons.
- Aufbau Principle: Electrons fill lower energy orbitals first.
- Pauli Exclusion Principle: No two electrons can have the same four quantum numbers; hence an orbital holds max. 2 electrons with opposite spin.
- Hund's Rule: Orbitals within a subshell are singly occupied before pairing; this maximizes total electron spin.
