6.1 Organizing the Elements > Searching for an
Organizing Principle
A few elements, including copper,
silver, and gold, have been known for
thousands of years.
• There were only 13 elements identified by the
year 1700.
– Chemists suspected that other elements existed.
– In one decade (1765–1775), chemists discovered
five new elements.

6.1 Organizing the Elements > Searching for an
Organizing Principle
Early chemists attempted to organize the
known elements.
o Some used the properties of the elements
• Dobereiner, a German chemist, published a
classification system for elements.
o He organized and grouped the known elements into
triads.

number of the period in which the element is
located.

BIG IDEA
Electrons and the Structure of Atoms
• Periodic tables may contain each
element’s name, symbol, atomic number,
atomic mass, and number of electrons in
each energy level.
• The electron configuration of an element
can be determined based on the location
of an element in the periodic table.
