1The Periodic Table of Elements Becka and Jess
Style. )
2The History of the Periodic Table....
Antoine Lavoiser---compiled a list of 23 elements
(the ones known at that time- late 1790s).
3John Newlands--proposed an organization scheme
for the elements. Â
- Lothar Meyer-- demonstrated a connection between
atomic mass and elemental properties.
4Dmitri Mendeleev- organized the elements into the
first periodic table.
- Henry Moseley-arrranged the elements by atomic
mass. - Â
5The Modern Periodic Table
6Groups...The boxes arranged in order of
increasing atomic number into a series of columns
(GROUPS) or families
Â
- Periods....
- The rows of boxes are called periods.
7Valence electrons- electrons in outermost
orbitals/ determine chemical properties of
elementÂ
- Orbitals-describe electrons probable location
(orbitals s,p,d,f).
8TRENDS
9Atomic Radius- half the distance between nuclei
of identical atoms that are chemically bonded
together.
- trends within periods--decrease in atomic radii
as you move left to right.
trends within groups--atomic radii decrease as
you move down a group.
10Ionic Radius-is a measure of the size of an ion
in a crystal lattice
- trends within periods-- the size of the positive
ions gradually decrease from left to right.
trends within groups--gradual increase in ionic
size, going down.
11Ionization Energy- energy required to remove an
electron from a gaseous atom.
- trends within periods-- first ionization energies
generally increase as you move left to right. - Â
trends within groups--first ionization energies
generally decrease as you move down.
12Electronegativity- indicates relative ability of
its atoms to attract electrons in a chemical
bond.
- trends within groups-- decreases as you move down
trends within periods-- icreases as you move left
to right. Â
