THE PERIODIC TABLE
Topic 5
Scientist to know

Dmitri Mendeleev
A Russian chemist
 He built the periodic table. How?

He made element cards with data about each element
 He pinned them all to the wall in order of increasing atomic mass
 He left gaps in the periodic table for elements to still be
discovered
 He predicted the existence and physical properties of the missing
elements because the elements follow a pattern.
 Gallium and germanium were discovered shortly after. This is an
example of experimental evidence confirming a scientific
prediction.

The charge an atom
becomes after it has
given or taken e-s
Number of protons
Either the first letter of the name,
first two letters of the name,
two letters from the name,
or letters from the Latin name.
Given by the person
who discovered it.
Mass of the protons + mass of the neutrons
Each proton and neutron has an
approximate mass of 1 amu or g/mol
# neutrons = atomic mass – atomic number
Round each atomic mass to the nearest
whole number
Amu = atomic mass unit
g/mol = the mass of 1 mol of atoms
1 mol = 6.02 x 1023 atoms
