    Study Notes

    Periodic Table of Elements

    • The periodic table arranges elements based on increasing proton number.
    • Elements with similar chemical properties are placed in vertical columns (groups).
    • Horizontal rows are called periods.
    • Periods 1, 2, and 3 are short periods.
    • Different periods (1-7) contain different numbers of elements (2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32, 23 respectively).
    • The number of occupied shells increases as you move down a group.

    Historical Development

    • Lavoisier initially attempted to classify substances, including light and heat, into metals and non-metals.
    • Dobereiner grouped elements with similar properties into triads, where the middle element's atomic mass roughly averaged the other two.
    • Newlands arranged elements in order of increasing atomic mass, noting similar properties recurring every 8 elements (Law of Octaves).
    • Lothar Meyer graphed atomic volume against atomic mass, observing periodic trends in properties.
    • Mendeleev ordered elements by increasing atomic mass, grouping similarly by vertical columns (periodic table).
    • Mendeleev left gaps for undiscovered elements, accurately predicting their properties.
    • Moseley, using X-ray spectra, established proton number as the basis for the periodic table, which is the modern arrangement.

    Electron Arrangement

    • Valence electrons determine the chemical properties of an element.
    • Proton number positions the element in a group and period.
    • The number of filled electron shells increases down the group.
    • The number of electrons equals the number of protons.
    • The number of shells equals the period number.
    • Valence electrons determine the group.

    Group Characteristics

    • Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties.
    • Group 1 (Alkali metals) are soft, reactive, and conductors.
    • Group 18 elements are known as noble gases and are generally unreactive.
    • Group 17 elements are known as halogens.
    • Groups 1, 2, and 13-15 contain metals.
    • Group 16 contains non-metals like sulfur and oxygen.
    • Groups 15-18 contain non-metals.
    • Elements of Group 1 are lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs), and francium (Fr).

    Period Characteristics

    • Elements in the same periods have increasing proton numbers.
    • Properties change as you move across a period.
    • Across a period, the metallic character decreases while the non-metallic character increases.
    • The number of occupied electron shells increases as you move across a period.

    Uses of Elements

    • Noble gases are used in various applications, including lighting and filling air ships, due to their low reactivity.
    • Transition metals are used as catalysts in chemical reactions.
    • Alkali metals are used in various industrial and laboratory applications and have reactive behavior.
    • Halogens are used in various applications, including in lamps.

    Physical Properties of Transition Metals

    • Transition metals have high melting points and boiling points, are hard and dense, and conduct electricity and heat well.
    • Many transition metals form coloured ions and compounds that give these materials their colours.
    • Transition metals can form complex ions.

    Changes down Group 18

    • Atomic size increases going down the group.
    • Melting and boiling points increase going down the group.
    • Density increases going down the group due to increased mass.

    Changes across Period 3

    • Atomic size increases going across the period.
    • Electronegativity increases going across the period.
    • Metallic properties decrease going across the period.
    • Nonmetallic properties increase going across the period.

    Chemical Properties of Transition Elements

    • Transition elements have variable oxidation numbers.
    • Many transition elements are catalysts.
    • Transition metals form a wide variety of compounds.

    Chemical Properties of Halogens

    • Halogens are very reactive, reacting with alkali and alkaline earth metals, forming a salt.
    • Reactivity decreases going down group 17 (halogens).
    • Reactivity decreases as you move down group 17.
