Study Notes
Properties and Structure of the Periodic Table
- The periodic table exhibits approximate recurrence of properties based on atomic number and recurring chemical properties of elements.
- Metallic character generally increases from top to bottom and from right to left in the periodic table.
- Nonmetallic character generally increases from bottom to top and from left to right in the periodic table.
History of the Periodic Table
- The Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev formulated the first generally accepted periodic table.
Periodic Law and Principles
- The periodic law states that the properties of elements recur periodically when the elements are arranged in order of atomic weight.
- The main principle of the periodic table is that elements with similar properties and atomic structures recur at regular intervals when arranged in order of atomic number.
Blocks and Columns in the Periodic Table
- The periodic table is divided into four roughly rectangular blocks: s-block, p-block, d-block, and f-block.
- The vertical columns in the periodic table are called groups or families.
- The scientist who formulated the periodic law and created the first generally accepted periodic table is Dmitri Mendeleev.
