    Study Notes

    Periodic Table History

    • Mendeleev arranged the periodic table by atomic mass.
    • Moseley arranged the modern periodic table by increasing atomic number.
    • Reminder: Atomic number is the number of protons.

    Basic Periodic Table Setup

    • Metals are to the left of the "step" (staircase) on the table.
    • Nonmetals are to the right of the "step".
    • Metalloids/Semimetals border the "step".

    Properties of Metals

    • Metals make up more than half of the elements.
    • Metals are located to the left of the step.
    • Hydrogen is not considered a metal.
    • Metals have relatively low numbers of valence electrons (1-3).
    • Metals tend to lose electrons, forming positive ions (cations).
    • Most metals are solids at room temperature, except for mercury (Hg).
    • Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity due to free-moving electrons.
    • Metals are malleable, ductile, and have high melting points and luster.

    Properties of Nonmetals

    • Nonmetals are located to the right of the step.
    • Nonmetals have relatively high numbers of valence electrons (5-8).
    • Nonmetals tend to gain electrons, forming negative ions (anions).
    • Nonmetals can bond with other nonmetals.
    • Nonmetals are poor conductors, good insulators.
    • Nonmetals exist as solids, liquids, or gases. - Hydrogen is a gas - Bromine is a liquid

    Properties of Metalloids/Semimetals

    • Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
    • Metalloids should be identified by name and symbol.
      • Boron (B), Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te)
    • Aluminum is a metal, not a metalloid.

    Groups in the Periodic Table

    • Groups are columns (1-18).

    • Elements in the same group exhibit similar properties due to similar numbers of valence electrons.

    • Alkali Metals are group 1 (IA) metals. -Highly reactive, only found in compounds

      • Naturally only found in compounds
      • One valence electron

    • Alkaline Earth Metals are in group 2 (IIA) -Moderately reactive, exist naturally in compounds -Two valence electrons

    • Transition Metals are groups 3-12 -Various properties, multiple positive oxidation states, produce various colors when dissolved in water.

    • Group 17 (VII A) is called Halogens.

      • Highly reactive, often exist as compounds. -Seven valence electrons -Gain one electron to become a -1 anion.

    • Group 18 (VIII A or 0) is called Noble Gases. -Don't react readily due to filled valence shells.

    Finding the Most Reactive Elements

    • Most reactive metal is in the bottom left corner (Francium).
    • Most reactive nonmetal is in the top right corner (Fluorine).

    Periods in the Periodic Table

    • Periods are rows (1-7).
    • Properties of elements change across a period.
    • The number of occupied electron shells (principal energy levels) increases across a period.
    • Atoms possess a higher nuclear charge as you move right across a period.

    Electron Dot Diagrams/Lewis Dot Diagrams

    • One part of the diagram, the kernel, represents everything that isn't the valence electrons.
    • The other part are dots that represent valence electrons.

    Ionization Energy

    • Ionization energy is the energy needed to remove the most loosely held electron from an atom.
    • Metals have low ionization energies; nonmetals have high ionization energies.
    • Ionization energy generally increases going across a row (left to right).
    • Ionization energy generally decreases going down a column (top to bottom).

    Electronegativity

    • Electronegativity is an atom's ability to attract and hold electrons when bonded to another atom.
    • Electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a row.
    • Electronegativity generally decreases going down a column.
