Study Notes
Newlands' Law of Octaves
- Newlands Octaves: A law that proposed that elements arranged by increasing atomic weight displayed repeating properties every eighth element.
-
Limitations:
- Did not account for undiscovered elements.
- Grouped dissimilar elements together (e.g., halogens with metals).
- Only worked well up to Calcium.
- Required two elements to occupy one position without explanation.
Mendeleev's Periodic Table
- Dmitri Mendeleev organized elements by increasing atomic weight and observed periodic trends.
-
Predictions: Mendeleev predicted the existence of elements based on periodic trends, including:
- Gallium (eka-aluminum), with a density of 68.
- Scandium, Germanium, and Rhenium.
Moseley's Periodic Table and the Periodic Law
- Moseley: Determined that the number of protons within the nucleus (atomic number) was a better way to organize the periodic table than atomic weight.
- Periodic Law: Proposed that when elements are arranged by increasing atomic number, certain properties repeat periodically.
- Atomic Number: Moseley's work clarified why some elements in Mendeleev's table were in incorrect positions. (e.g., Cobalt and Nickel, where the atomic weight of Cobalt is slightly larger than Nickel).
Charles' Law
- Charles' Law: This law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure.
Avogadro's Law
- Avogadro's Law: The volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas present at constant temperature and pressure.
Combined Gas Law
- Combined Gas Law: Combines Boyle's Law and Charles' Law, stating that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure and directly proportional to the absolute temperature.
Ideal Gas Law
-
Ideal Gas Law: A single equation that relates the pressure, volume, number of moles, and temperature of a gas.
-
Formula: PV = nRT
- P = pressure
- V = volume
- n = number of moles
- R = gas constant (0.0821 L∙atm/mol∙K, 8.3145 m3∙Pa/mol∙K, or 8.3145 J/mol∙K)
- T = absolute temperature
-
Formula: PV = nRT
- Ideal Gases: Gases whose behavior is approximated by the Ideal Gas Law.
