U N I T L E C T U R E 1 N O T E S LECTURE 9 Periodic Table: Organizing the Elements (3.1, 3.2, & 3.8) GENERAL CHEMISTRY Fall 2009 Updated: 6/27/2017 A. History a. Greeks proposed that all matter was composed of four fundamental substances: fire, earth, water, and air. b. Alchemists discovered mercury, sulfur, and antimony. c. Robert Boyle insisted science should be grounded in experiments; defined an element as a substance that could not be broken down. 3.1 The Elements 1. 88 elements occur naturally; other elements are man-made (made in particle accelerators) 2. Living systems a. Elements in living systems: CHNOPS b. Trace elements in living systems i. Elements in small amounts 3. Multiple meanings of elements a. Single atom b. Large sample enough to weigh on a balance 3.2 Symbols for the Elements A. Names Some element names are derived from Latin or Greek names B. Symbols (abbreviations of chemical elements) Rules must be followed 1. First letter is capitalized 2. Second letter must be lowercase Students should now memorize the remaining element symbols and names in table 3.3 (p. 51). Updated: 6/27/2017 3.8 Introduction to the Periodic Table Updated: 6/27/2017 The Periodic Law A. B. The physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers Elements on the table are arranged in order of increasing atomic number (number of protons) 1b. Students know how to use the periodic table to identify metals, semimetals, nonmetals, and halogens. Most periodic tables have a heavy stepped line running from boron to astatine. Elements to the immediate right and left of this line, excluding the metal aluminum, are semimetals and have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals. Elements further to the left are metals. Those further to the right are nonmetals. Halogens, which are a well-known family of nonmetals, are found in Group 17 (formerly referred to as Group VIIA). A group, also sometimes called a family, is found in a vertical column in the periodic table. Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids A. Metals 1. Good conductors of heat and electricity 2. Lustrous (shiny) 3. Solids (except mercury) 4. Ductile (can be drawn into wire) 5. Malleable (can be hammered into thin sheets) B. Nonmetals 1. Poor conductors of heat and electricity 2. Most are gaseous 3. Solids tend to be brittle C. Metalloids 1. Some properties of metals, some of nonmetals Classifying the Elements Periods and the Blocks of the Periodic Table A. Periods 1. Horizontal rows on the periodic table 2. Period number corresponds to the highest principal quantum number of the elements in the period B. Sublevel Blocks 1. Periodic table can be broken into blocks corresponding to s, p, d, f sublevels Blocks and Groups A. s-Block, Groups 1 and 2 1. Group 1 - The alkali metals a. One s electron in outer shell b. Soft, silvery metals of low density and low melting points c. Highly reactive, never found pure in nature 2. Group 2 - The alkaline earth metals a. Two s electrons in outer shell b. Denser, harder, stronger, less reactive than Group 1 Updated: 6/27/2017 c. Too reactive to be found pure in nature B. d-Block, Groups 3 - 12 1. Metals with typical metallic properties 2. Referred to as "transition" metals 3. Group number = sum of outermost s and d electrons C. p-Block elements, Groups 13 - 18 1. Properties vary greatly a. Metals (1) Softer and less dense than d-block metals (2) Harder and more dense than s-block metals b. Metalloids (1) Brittle solids with some metallic and some nonmetallic properties (2) Semiconductors c. Nonmetals (1) Halogens (Group 17) are most reactive of the nonmetals D. f-Block, Lanthanides and Actinides 1. Lanthanides are shiny metals similar in reactivity to the Group 2 2. Actinides a. All are radioactive b. Plutonium (94) through Lawrencium (103) are man-made metals Updated: 6/27/2017
