    Flashcards

    Dobereiner's Triads

    A grouping of three elements with similar chemical properties, where the middle element's atomic mass is roughly the average of the other two.

    Law of Octaves

    The observation that elements with similar properties reappear every eighth element when arranged by increasing atomic mass. It helped show a periodic pattern but was limited to the first 17 elements.

    Mendeleev's Periodic Law

    The principle that the chemical properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic masses. Elements with similar characteristics are arranged in groups, and he left gaps for yet-to-be discovered elements.

    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.
