Study Notes
- John Newlands, an English chemist, discovered that elements with similar properties had similar atomic structures, leading to the Law of Octaves
- Dmitri Mendeleev is known as the "Father of the Periodic Table" for organizing elements by increasing atomic weight, observing element properties, and noting inconsistencies
- Henry Moseley used electron shooting experiment to arrange elements by increasing atomic number, leading to a more accurate periodic table
- Periodic table organized into columns (groups) and rows (periods)
- Groups: 1) Alkali Metals, 2) Alkaline earth metals, 13) Boron family, 14) Carbon family, 15) Nitrogen family, 16) Oxygen family, 17) Halogens, 18) Noble gases
- Periods: 7 in total, organized as 6 rows and 2 extended rows
- Metals are below and to the left of the "staircase" in the periodic table, while nonmetals are above and to the right, with hydrogen being an exception
- Metals share properties like malleability, ductility, good conductors of heat and electricity
- Nonmetals are brittle solids, poor conductors of heat or electricity
- Valence electrons are in the outermost energy orbital, increasing across a period and constant within a group
- Atomic radii decrease as you go across a period but increase down a group
- Ionization energy and electronegativity increase across a period and decrease down a group
- Electron affinity increases across a period and decreases down a group.
