Study Notes
- John Newlands, an English chemist, discovered the Law of Octaves by observing similarities in chemical properties among elements with similar atomic structures, which were arranged in order of increasing atomic weight every eighth element
- Dmitri Mendeleev is credited as the "Father of the Periodic Table" for organizing all known chemical elements based on increasing atomic weight, revealing patterns such as similar properties among elements in the same column and increasing reactivity across a row
- Henry Moseley used electron spectroscopy to determine that the number of protons in an atom defines its position in the periodic table, leading to the arrangement of elements by increasing atomic number
- The periodic table consists of columns (groups) and rows (periods); elements in the same group share similar properties, and periods are horizontal rows with elements displaying similar reactivity trends
- Periods number seven and groups number eight in the periodic table; periods are labeled on the left side, and groups are numbered at the top
- Metals, which make up most elements, are located below and to the left of a "staircase" in the periodic table, sharing common properties like malleability and good conductors of heat and electricity
- Nonmetals, including hydrogen, are located above and to the right of the staircase, sharing common properties like brittle solids and poor conductors of heat and electricity
- Key atomic properties, such as valence electrons, atomic radii, ionization energy, electronegativity, and electron affinity, vary systematically across the periodic table, allowing scientists to quickly identify and understand the properties of elements.
