John Newlands Noticed a Periodic Pattern
• In 1865, the English chemist John Newlands
arranged the known elements according to their
properties and in order of increasing atomic mass. He
placed the elements in a table.
• Newlands noticed that all of the elements in a given
row had similar chemical and physical properties.
• Because these properties seemed to repeat every
eight elements, Newlands called this pattern the law
of octaves.

Dmitri Mendeleev Invented the First Periodic Table
• In 1869, the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev used
Newlands’s observation and other information to
produce the first orderly arrangement, or periodic
table, of all 63 elements known at the time.
• Mendeleev wrote the symbol for each element, along
with the physical and chemical properties and the
relative atomic mass of the element, on a card.
• Like Newlands, Mendeleev arranged the elements in order
of increasing atomic mass.

Dmitri Mendeleev Invented the First Periodic Table
• Mendeleev started a new row each time he noticed
that the chemical properties of the elements repeated.
• He placed elements in the new row directly below elements
of similar chemical properties in the preceding row.
• Mendeleev made two interesting observations
1. Mendeleev’s table contains gaps that elements with particular
properties should fill.
2. The elements do not always fit neatly in order of atomic mass.
• Mendeleev predicted the properties of the missing
elements.

The Physical Basis of the Periodic Table
• About 40 years after Mendeleev published his
periodic table, an English chemist named Henry
Moseley found a different physical basis for the
arrangement of elements.
• Moseley studied the lines in the X-ray spectra of 38
different elements, he found that the wavelengths of
the lines in the spectra decreased in a regular
manner as atomic mass increased.

• When the elements were arranged by increasing
atomic number, the discrepancies in Mendeleev’s
table disappeared.
• Moseley’s work led to both the modern definition of
atomic number, and showed that atomic number, not
atomic mass, is the basis for the organization of the
periodic table.

The Periodic Law
• Mendeleev’s principle of chemical periodicity is known
as the periodic law, which states that when the
elements are arranged according to their atomic
numbers, elements with similar properties appear at
regular intervals.
Organization of the Periodic Table
• Elements in each column of the periodic table have
the same number of electrons in their outer energy
level.

Organization of the Periodic Table, continued
• The electrons in the outer shell are called valence
electrons.
• Valence electrons are found in the outermost shell
of an atom and that determines the atom’s chemical
properties.
• Elements with the same number of valence electrons
tend to react in similar ways.
• Because s and p electrons fill sequentially, the number
of valence electrons in s- and p-block elements are
predictable.

The Main-Group Elements
• Elements in groups 1, 2, and 13–18 are known as the
main-group elements. Main-group elements are in
the s- and p-blocks of the periodic table.
• The electron configurations of the elements in each
main group are regular and consistent: the elements
in each group have the same number of valence
electrons.

• Alkali metals are so named because they are metals
that react with water to make alkaline solutions.
• Because the alkali metals have a single valence
electron, they are very reactive.
• In losing its one valence electron, potassium achieves a
stable electron configuration.
• Alkali metals are never found in nature as pure
elements but are found as compounds.

• The alkaline-earth metals are slightly less reactive
than the alkali metals.
• They are usually found as compounds.
• The alkaline-earth metals have two valence electrons
and must lose both their valence electrons to get to a
stable electron configuration.
• It takes more energy to lose two electrons than it takes to
lose just the one electron that the alkali metals must give

The Halogens, Group 17, Are Highly Reactive
• Elements in Group 17 of the periodic table are called
the halogens.
• The halogens are the most reactive group of nonmetal
elements.
• When halogens react, they often gain the one electron needed
to have eight valence electrons, a filled outer energy level.
• Because the alkali metals have one valence electron,
they are ideally suited to react with the halogens.
• The halogens react with most metals to produce
salts.

• Group 18 elements are called the noble gases.
• The noble gas atoms have a full set of electrons in their
outermost energy level.
• The low reactivity of noble gases leads to some special
uses.
• The noble gases were once called inert gases because
they were thought to be completely unreactive.
• In 1962, chemists were able to get xenon to react, making the
compound XePtF6.
• In 1979, chemists were able to form the first xenon-carbon
bonds.

Hydrogen Is in a Class by Itself
• Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe.
• It is estimated that about three out of every four
atoms in the universe are hydrogen.
• Because it consists of just one proton and one electron,
hydrogen behaves unlike any other element.
• Hydrogen is in a class by itself in the periodic table.
• With its one electron, hydrogen can react with many
other elements, including oxygen.

Metals Share Many Properties
• All metals are excellent conductors of electricity.
• Electrical conductivity is the one property that
distinguishes metals from the nonmetal elements.
• Some metals, such as manganese, are brittle.
• Other metals, such as gold and copper, are ductile
and malleable.
• Ductile means that the metal can be squeezed
out into a wire.
• Malleable means that the metal can be
hammered or rolled into sheets.

Lanthanides and Actinides Fill f-orbitals
• The elements in the first of these rows are called the
lanthanides because their atomic numbers follow the
element lanthanum.
• A lanthanide is a member of the rare-earth series of elements,
whose atomic numbers range from 58 (cerium) to 71
(lutetium).
• Elements in the row below the lanthanides are called
actinides because they follow actinium.
• An actinide is any of the elements of the actinide series, which
have atomic numbers from 89 (actinium, Ac) through 103
(lawrencium, Lr).

• The lanthanides and actinides are sometimes called
the f-block of the periodic table.
• The actinides are unique in that their nuclear structures
are more important than their electron configurations.
• Because the nuclei of actinides are unstable and
spontaneously break apart, all actinides are
radioactive.

Other Properties of Metals
• An alloy is a solid or liquid mixture of two or more
metals.
• The properties of an alloy are different from the
properties of the individual elements.
• Often these properties eliminate some
disadvantages of the pure metal.
• A common alloy is brass, a mixture of copper and zinc.
• Brass is harder than copper and more resistant to
corrosion.

• The outermost electrons are farthest from the nucleus in
elements near the bottom of a group.
• As you move down a group, each successive element
contains more electrons in the energy levels between
the nucleus and the outermost electrons.
• Electron shielding is the reduction of the attractive force
between a positively charged nucleus and its outermost
electrons due to the cancellation of some of the positive
charge by the negative charges of the inner electrons.

Atomic Radius
• The exact size of an atom is hard to determine.
• The volume the electrons occupy is thought of as an
electron cloud, with no clear-cut edge.
• In addition, the physical and chemical state of an atom
can change the size of an electron cloud.
• One method for calculating the size of an atom involves
calculating the bond radius, which is half the distance
from center to center of two like atoms that are bonded
together.
• The bond radius can change slightly depending on
what atoms are involved.

Electronegativity
• Not all atoms in a compound share electrons equally.
• Knowing how strongly each atom attracts bonding
electrons can help explain the physical and chemical
properties of the compound.
• Linus Pauling, an American chemists, made a scale of
numerical values that reflect how much an atom in a
molecule attracts electrons, called electronegativity
values.
• Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an
atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons.

Periodic Trends in Melting and Boiling Points
• Instead of a generally increasing or decreasing trend,
melting and boiling points reach two different peaks as
d and p orbitals fill.
• From left to right across Period 6, the melting and
boiling points at first increase.
• As the number of electrons in each element increases,
stronger bonds between atoms can form.
• As a result, more energy is needed for melting and boiling to
occur.
• Near the middle of the d-block, the melting and
boiling points reach a peak.

• As more electrons are added, they begin to form pairs
within the d orbitals.
• Because of the decrease in unpaired electrons, the
bonds that the atoms can form with each other
become weaker.
• As a result, these elements have lower melting and
boiling points.
• In Period 6, Cesium, Cs, has low melting and boiling points
because it has only one valence electron to use for
bonding.

• As you proceed past mercury, the melting and boiling
points again begin to rise as electrons are now added
to the p orbital.
• They continue to rise until they peak at the elements whose p
orbitals are almost half filled.
• Another decrease is seen as electrons pair up to fill p
orbitals.
• The noble gases have no bonding forces between
atoms.
• Their melting and boiling points are unusually low.

Hydrogen and Helium Formed After the Big Bang
• Much of the evidence about the universe’s origin points
toward a single event: an explosion of unbelievable
violence, before which all matter in the universe could
fit on a pinhead. This event is known as the big bang.
• As the universe expanded, it cooled and some of the
energy was converted into matter in the form of
electrons, protons, and neutrons.
• As the universe continued to cool, these particles
started to join and formed hydrogen and helium
atoms.

• Einstein’s equation E = mc2 describes the mass-energy
relationship quantitatively.
• Einstein’s equation shows that fusion reactions release very
large amounts of energy.
• The energy released by a fusion reaction is so great it
keeps the centers of the stars at very high
temperatures.
• During fusion in stars, two helium nuclei fuse to form a
beryllium nucleus, and gamma radiation is released.
• Repeated fusion reactions can form atoms as massive
as iron and nickel.

• Very massive stars (stars whose masses are more than
100 times the mass of our sun) are the source of
heavier elements.
• When such a star has converted almost all of its
core hydrogen and helium into the heavier
elements up to iron, the star collapses and then
blows apart in an explosion called a supernova.
• All of the elements heavier than iron on the periodic
table are formed in this explosion.

Transmutations
• In the Middle Ages, many early chemists tried to
change, or transmute, ordinary metals into gold.
• These early chemists did not realize that a
transmutation, whereby one element changes into
another, is a nuclear reaction. It changes the nucleus of
an atom and therefore cannot be achieved by ordinary
chemical means.

Transmutations Are a Type of Nuclear Reaction
• Because of the results of his experiments, Ernest
Rutherford believed that the nuclei in air had
disintegrated into the nuclei of hydrogen (protons) plus
the nuclei of some other atom.
• W. D. Harkins and P.M.S. Blackett studied this strange
phenomenon further.
• They concluded that the Y formed when an alpha
particle collided with a nitrogen atom in air to
produce an oxygen atom and a proton, and that a
transmutation had thereby occurred.

The Cyclotron Accelerates Charged Particles
• Many of the first synthetic elements were made with the
help of a cyclotron, a particle accelerator, in which
charged particles are given one pulse of energy after
another, speeding them to very high energies.
• The particles then collide and fuse with atomic nuclei to
produce synthetic elements.
• There is a limit to the energies that can be reached with
a cyclotron and therefore a limit to the synthetic
elements that it can make.
