Study Notes
The Modern Periodic Table
- Consists of 7 periods (horizontal rows) and 18 groups (vertical columns).
- Organized by atomic number, atomic mass, and electron configuration.
- Contains 118 elements classified by their physical state.
Elements by Physical State
-
Solid elements: Most elements are solids.
- Examples: Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Carbon (C), Phosphorus (P), Iron (Fe).
-
Liquid elements: Two elements are liquid at room temperature.
- Mercury (Hg): The only liquid metal.
- Bromine (Br): The only liquid nonmetal.
-
Gaseous elements: Eleven elements are gases at room temperature.
- Nonmetals: Hydrogen (H), Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), Fluorine (F), Chlorine (Cl).
- Inert gases: Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), Radon (Rn).
Arrangement of Elements
- Mendeleev's Periodic Table: Arranged by atomic mass.
- Moseley's Periodic Table: Arranged by atomic number.
- Modern Periodic Table: Arranged by atomic number and electron configuration.
Comparison of Groups
- Group 1A (Alkali Metals): Metals with 1 valence electron. Example: Lithium (Li).
- Group 2A (Alkaline Earth Metals): Metals with 2 valence electrons. Example: Beryllium (Be).
- Group 7A (Halogens): Nonmetals with 7 valence electrons. Example: Fluorine (F).
- Group 0 (Noble Gases): Inert gases with 8 valence electrons (except helium, which has 2). Example: Neon (Ne).
d-Block Elements
- Located in the middle of the periodic table, separating s-block and p-block elements.
- All are metals.
- Classified as transition metals and begin appearing in period 4.
f-Block Elements
- Located at the bottom of the periodic table.
- All are metals.
p-Block Elements
- Located on the right side of the periodic table.
- Contains all nonmetals with electron configurations ending in 5, 6, or 7 electrons.
- Includes all noble gases and some metals.
- Includes all metalloids.
Metalloids
- Boron (B), Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te).
- Exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Lewis Dot Structure
- A method to represent valence (outermost shell) electrons using dots around an element's symbol.
- Valence electrons are represented by dots distributed individually first and then paired until all are accounted for.
- The number of unpaired (single) electrons in the Lewis structure indicates the valency of the element.
Main Blocks of the Periodic Table
- s-Block: Consists of groups 1A and 2A, located on the left side of the periodic table.
- p-Block: Consists of six groups labeled with the letter A (excluding group 0), located on the right side of the periodic table.
- d-Block: Located in the middle of the periodic table, contains transition metals.
- f-Block: Located at the bottom of the periodic table, contains rare earth elements.
Moseley's Contribution
- Discovered that atomic numbers are more important than atomic masses for classifying elements.
- Rearranged Mendeleev's table by atomic number.
- Added inert gases and other elements to the table.
Moseley's Key Modifications to Mendeleev's Table
- Arranged elements in ascending order by atomic number.
- Added the group of inert gases to the table.
- Added other elements discovered after Mendeleev’s table was designed.
Modern Periodic Table
- Based on atomic numbers and electron configuration.
- More accurate and consistent than Mendeleev's table.
Electron Configuration and the Periodic Table
- Elements of the same group: Have similar number of electrons in their outermost energy level.
- Elements of the same period: Have similar number of filled energy levels.
Electron Configuration Observations
- Most metals have electron configurations ending in 1, 2, or 3 electrons.
- Most nonmetals have electron configurations ending in 5, 6, or 7 electrons.
- Noble gases have electron configurations ending in 8 electrons (except helium).
