Periodic Table of Elements - History
During the nineteenth century, chemists began to categorize the
elements according to similarities in their physical and chemical
properties. The end result of these studies was our modern periodic
table.
In 1829, J. Doebereiner classified some elements into
groups of three, which he called triads. The elements
in a triad had similar chemical properties and orderly
physical properties (MODEL OF TRIADS): [Cl2, Br2,
I2], [P, As, Sb], [Li, Na, K] and [Ca, Sr, Ba].
In 1863, J. Newlands suggested that elements
may be arranged in “octaves” because he noticed
(after arranging the elements in order of
increasing atomic mass) that certain properties
repeated every 8th element (LAW OF OCTAVES).

Periodic Table of Elements - History
In 1869 Dmitri Mendeleev published a table of
the elements organized by increasing atomic
mass.
At the same time, Lothar Meyer published his
own table of the elements organized by
increasing atomic mass,
Dmitri Mendeleev
Both Mendeleev and Meyer arranged the elements
in order of increasing atomic mass. Both left
vacant spaces where unknown elements should fit.
So why is Mendeleev called the “father of the
modern periodic table” and not Meyer, or both?

Periodic Table of Elements - History
Mendeleev stated that if the
atomic weight of an element
caused it to be placed in the wrong
group, then the weight must be
wrong. (He corrected the atomic
masses of Be, In, and U).
He used the table to predict the
physical properties of three
elements that were yet unknown
(Sc, Ge, Ga, Tc).
When
properties
of
these
elements turned out to be very
close to the predicted ones by
Mendeleev, his table was widely
accepted.

However, in spite of Mendeleev’s great achievement, problems
arose when new elements were discovered and more accurate
atomic weights determined.
By looking at our modern periodic table, can you identify what
problems might have caused chemists a headache?

Ionization energy
The ionization energy (EI) of an atom or molecule is the minimum
energy required to remove (to infinity) an electron from the atom or
molecule isolated in free space and in its ground electronic state.
Electronegativity in Periodic Table
Electronegativity, symbol χ (the Greek letter chi), is a chemical
property that describes the ability of an atom to attract electrons
towards itself.
Ed(AB) – dissociation energy (eV)
Atomic radius
• Van der Waals radius: half the minimum distance between the nuclei of two
atoms of the element that are not bound to the same molecule.
• Ionic radius: the radius of the ions deduced from the spacing of atomic nuclei in
crystalline salts that include that ion. The length of the ionic bond should equal the
sum of their ionic radii.
• Covalent radius: the radius of the atoms of an element when covalently bound
to other atoms, as deduced the separation between the atomic nuclei in molecules.
The length of a covalent bond should equal the sum of their covalent radii.
• Metallic radius: the radius of atoms of an element when joined to other atoms
by metallic bonds.
 Cations are smaller than corresponding atoms.
 Anions are larger than corresponding atoms.
