Study Notes
Development of the Periodic Table
- Ancient Greeks believed in 4 elements: Earth, Air, Wind, Fire.
- Robert Boyle defined an element as a substance that cannot be split into simpler substances by chemical means.
Contributions of Key Scientists
- Humphry Davy used electrolysis to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen and isolated potassium and sodium.
- Johann Dobereiner discovered triads, where elements in a triad have similar chemical properties and the atomic weight of the middle element is halfway between the other two.
- John Newlands arranged elements in increasing atomic weights and found that the eighth element had properties similar to the first, calling these groups octaves.
Dmitri Mendeleev's Contributions
- Arranged elements in order of increasing atomic weight.
- Listed subgroups for elements like Cu & Ag whose properties didn't fit into the main group.
- Placed Iodine & Tellurium out of order of atomic weight.
- Left gaps for undiscovered elements and predicted their properties.
Henry Moseley's Contributions
- Arranged elements in order of increasing atomic number, not atomic weight.
- Used X-rays to determine the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
The Modern Periodic Table
- A list of elements arranged in increasing atomic number.
- Arranged into horizontal periods and vertical groups.
