Elements were said to exhibit similar chemical and physical properties to the eighth element following it in the table (Law of Octaves) • His table did not include all of the known elements Development of Modern Periodic Table of Elements • Dmitri Mendeleev (Russia 1869) • Produced the first Periodic Table to arrange elements in periods (rows) and families (columns) showing all 66 known elements • Periods arranged elements in order of increasing atomic mass • Families arranged by similar chemical and physical properties • Method of arrangement left gaps for elements believed to exist and not yet discovered. • William Ramsay (England 1894) • Discovered a new family of gases that resisted chemical reactions • Noble gases added to the Periodic Table • Henri Becquerel (France 1903) • With Pierre and Marie Curie credited with discovering radioactivity • Opened a new window on understanding atomic structure and properties Mendeleev’s Periodic Table Development of Modern Periodic Table of Elements (cont.) • Frederick Soddy (England 1912) • Suggested existence of isotopes • Since elements could have multiple masses they could occupy multiple positions on the Periodic Table arranged by mass • J.J. Thomson (England 1913) • Confirmed experimentally the existence of isotopes with Neon • Since Neon is unreactive its multiple masses could not be explained by unidentified chemical compounds • Discovery of isotopes meant that the Mendeleev Periodic Table could not be the final answer Development of Modern Periodic Table of Elements (cont.) • Henry Moseley (England 1913) • Demonstrated through x-ray spectroscopy that the characteristics of the x-rays emitted by different atoms are incremental and can be listed in numerical order (Atomic Number) • Put forward the theory that chemical and physical properties are periodic functions of this atomic number (Law of Periodicity) • Refined Rutherford’s theory of the atomic structure indicating a correlation between the positive charge of the nucleus and atomic number • Developed the basic structure of the Periodic Table used today. • Rutherford (England 1917) • Produced the first experimentally based nuclear reaction transforming nitrogen into oxygen using alpha particles • The other product of the reaction was a Hydrogen nucleus (Proton) • Confirmed atomic number was equal to the number of protons Moseley’s Periodic Table Image courtesy of http://corrosion-doctors.org/Periodic/Periodic-Moseley.htm Development of Modern Periodic Table of Elements (cont.) • Glenn Seaborg ( United States 1941-1944) • Discovered discrepancies in Moseley’s table through the identification of new elements while conducting research as part of the Manhattan Project • Created the lanthanide and actinide series referred to as transuranium elements • Discoveries disclosed at the end of World War II • Continuing research • Research laboratories use particle accelerators to identify new elements • Recent discoveries have completed the 7th period of the table • Research is continuing to discover more new elements in an 8th period Seaborg’s Periodic Table Periodic Table of Elements 2012 Image used courtesy of https://proteabio.com/resources/tools/Periodic+Table+of+Elements Dynamic Periodic Table • Courtesy of ptable.com Image courtesy http://www.fanpop.com Families of Particular Importance Family 1A (1) – Alkali Metals Soft metals and silver gray in color Extremely reactive – do not exist in elemental form in nature 1 valence electron Family 2A (2) – Alkaline Earth Metals Soft metals and silver in color Very reactive – can exist in nature, but oxidize rapidly 2 valence electrons Family 7A (17) – Halogens (non-metals) Very reactive Lighter halogens are gases at room temperature while heavier halogens are solids at room temperature; Bromine is a liquid at room temperature 7 valence electrons Family 8A (18) – Noble Gases (Non-metals) Generally non-reactive and do not form compounds Extremely Stable 8 valence electrons Types of Elements Metals Good conductors of electricity and heat Vast majority of the elements – Alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, post-transition metals, and inner transition metals Non-Metals Poor conductors of electricity and heat Includes the Nobel Gases, Halogens, and only a few of the lightest elements – hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, and selenium Metalloids Many are semiconductors of electricity Exhibit properties of both metals and non-metals Only 7 elements are metalloids (some scientists include different ones depending on perspective) Periodic Law Created by Henry Moseley The chemical and physical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers Properties of the elements occur at repeated intervals called periods (rows on Periodic Table) This defines the property of periodicity Periodic Trends Atomic Radius – half the distance between the nuclei of atoms of the same material Decreases generally across periods – increased positive nuclear charge (protons) pulls electrons in tighter to the nucleus Increases generally down families – increased number of energy levels where electrons may reside Electronegativity – the measure of the ability of the nucleus of an atom to attract electrons of a neighboring atom Increases generally across periods – increased positive nuclear charge (protons) more strongly attracts electrons from neighboring atoms Decreases generally down families – increased number of energy levels means the nucleus is less able to overcome the distance between atom Periodic Trends Ionization Energy – the energy required to remove an electron from an atom Increases generally across periods – increased positive nuclear charge (protons) pulls electrons in tighter to the nucleus making them harder to remove Decreases generally down families – increased number of energy levels where electrons may reside making them easier to remove Ionic Radius – as atoms gain and lose electrons, the radius of the charged atom changes Increases when an atom accepts electrons– the more electrons there are the greater the overall repulsive forces between the electrons pushing them further apart Decreases when an atom loses electrons – the fewer the electrons the greater the effectiveness of the nuclear charge (protons) Periodic Trends
