  1. The Periodic Table Chapter 6

  2. Why is the Periodic Table important to me? • The periodic table is the most useful tool to a chemist. • You get to use it on every test. • It organizes lots of information about all the known elements.

  3. Pre-Periodic Table Chemistry … • …was a mess!!! • No organization of elements. • Imagine going to a grocery store with no organization!! • Difficult to find information. • Chemistry didn’t make sense.

  4. HOW HIS WORKED… Put elements in rows by increasing atomic weight. Put elements in columns by the way they reacted. SOME PROBLEMS… He left blank spaces for what he said were undiscovered elements. (Turned out he was right!) He broke the pattern of increasing atomic weight to keep similar reacting elements together. Dmitri Mendeleev: Father of the Table

  5. The Current Periodic Table • Mendeleev wasn’t too far off. • Now the elements are put in rows by increasing ATOMIC NUMBER!! • The horizontal rows are called periods and are labeled from 1 to 7. • The vertical columns are called groups are labeled from 1 to 18. • Atomic structure is used to organize the elements in the periodic table. • The periodic table is useful in predicting the chemical behavior, trends, and the properties of the elements.

  6. Atomic Structure Review • Atoms are made of protons,electrons,andneutrons. • Elements are atoms of only one type. • Elements are identified by the atomic number(# of protons in nucleus).

  7. Energy Levels Review • Electrons are arranged in regions around the nucleus called energy levels. • At least 1 energy level and as many as 7 levels exist in atoms. • Electrons in levels farther away from the nucleus have more energy. • Inner levels will fill first before outer levels.

  8. Energy Levels & Valence Electrons • Energy levels hold a specific amount of electrons: • 1st level = up to 2, • 2nd level = up to 8 • 3rd level = up to18 • The electrons in the outermost level are called valence electrons. • Determine how elements will react with others • Outermost level does not usually fill completely with electrons.

  9. Using the Table to Identify Valence Electrons • Elements are grouped because they have similar properties. • Group numbers can help you determine the number of valence electrons: • Group 1 has 1 valence electron. • Group 2 has 2 valence electrons. • Groups 3 – 12 are transition metals and have 1 or 2 valence electrons.

  10. Using the Table to Identify Valence Electrons cont. • Groups 13 – 18 have 10 fewer than the group number. For example: • group 13 has 3 valence electrons • group 15 has 5 valence electrons • group 18 has 8 valence electrons

  11. Properties of Metals • Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. • Metals are shiny. • Metals are ductile (can be stretched into thin wires). • Metals are malleable (can be pounded into thin sheets). • A chemical property of metal is its reaction with water which results in corrosion.

  12. Properties of Non-Metals • Non-metals are poor conductors of heat and electricity. • Non-metals are not ductile or malleable. • Solid non-metals are brittle and break easily. • They are dull. • Many non-metals are gases.

  13. Properties of Metalloids • Metalloids (metal-like) have properties of both metals and non-metals. • They are solids that can be shiny or dull. • They conduct heat and electricity better than non-metals but not as well as metals. • They are ductile and malleable.

  14. Groups…Here’s Where the Periodic Table Gets Useful!! • Elements in the same group have similar chemical and physical properties!! • (Mendeleev did that on purpose.) • Why?? • They have the same number of valence electrons. • They will form the same kinds of ions.

  15. Grouping the Elements • The most reactive metals are the elements in Group 1 and 2. • What makes an element reactive? • Number of valence electrons each atom has • When outer levels are full, atoms are stable • When they are not full, they react: gain, lose, or share 1 or 2 electrons

  16. Groups • Groups run vertically in the periodic table. • They are numbered from 1 – 18. • Elements in the same groups have the same number of electrons in the outer energy level. • Grouped elements behave chemically in similar ways.

  17. Families on the Periodic Table • Columns are also grouped into families. • Families may be one column, or several columns put together. • Families have names rather than numbers. (Just like your family has a common last name.)

  18. Hydrogen • Hydrogen belongs to a family of its own. • Hydrogen is a diatomic, reactive gas. • Hydrogen was involved in the explosion of the Hindenberg. • Hydrogen is promising as an alternative fuel source for automobiles

  19. Alkali Metals • 1st column on the periodic table (Group 1) not including hydrogen. • Very reactive metals, react violently with water • Always combined with something else in nature (like in salt). • Soft enough to cut with a butter knife • Valence Electrons: 1 • Shiny solids

  20. Alkaline Earth Metals • Second column on the periodic table. (Group 2) • Reactive metals that are always combined with nonmetals in nature. • Several of these elements are important mineral nutrients (such as Mg and Ca) • Valence Electrons: 2 • Solids • Silver colored • More dense than alkali metals

  21. Transition Metals • Elements in groups 3-12 • Less reactive harder metals • Includes metals used in jewelry and construction. • Metals used “as metal.” • Valence Electrons: 1 or 2 • Higher density • Good conductors of heat and electricity

  22. Groups 3-12 Transition MetalsBelow Main Table • Contain: The Lanthanide and Actinide Series • These two rows are pulled out of sequence and placed below the main table to keep the table from being too wide. • Lanthanides are #’s 58 – 71. • Actinides are #’s 90 – 103.

  23. Groups 3-12 Rare Earth Elements ~ Lanthanides • Lanthanides follow the transition metal # 57 Lanthanum in Period 6. • Valence electrons: 3 • Reactivity: Very reactive • Properties: • High luster but tarnish easily • High conductivity for electricity • Very small differences between them

  24. Groups 3-12 Rare Earth Elements ~ Actinides • Actinides follow the transition metal # 89 Actinium in Period 7 • Valence electrons: 3 (but up to 6) • Reactivity: unstable • All are radioactive • Most made in laboratories

  25. Boron Family • Elements in group 13 • Contains 1 metalloid and 4 metals • Valence Electrons: 3 • Somewhat reactive • Solids at room temperature • Aluminum metal was once rare and expensive, not a “disposable metal.”

  26. Carbon Family • Elements in group 14 • Contains: 1 non-metal, 2 metalloids, and 3 metals • Valence Electrons: 4 • Varied reactivity • Contains elements important to life and computers. • Carbon is the basis for an entire branch of chemistry. • Silicon and Germanium are important semiconductors. • Solids at room temperature

  27. Nitrogen Family • Contains: 2 non-metals, 2 metalloids, and 1 metal • Valence Electrons: 5 • Varied reactivity • All but Nitrogen solids at room temperature • Elements in group 15 • Nitrogen makes up over ¾ of the atmosphere. • Nitrogen and phosphorus are both important in living things. • Most of the world’s nitrogen is not available to living things. • The red stuff on the tip of matches is phosphorus.

  28. Oxygen Family or Chalcogens • Valence Electrons: 6 • Somewhat reactive • All but Oxygen are solids at room temperature • Elements in group 16 • Oxygen is necessary for respiration. • Many things that stink, contain sulfur (rotten eggs, garlic, skunks, etc.) • Contains: 3 non-metals, 1 metalloid, and 2 metals

  29. Halogens • Elements in group 17 • Very reactive, volatile, diatomic, nonmetals • Always found combined with other element in nature . • Used as disinfectants and to strengthen teeth. • Contain: non-metals • Valence Electrons: 7 • Very reactive • Poor conductors of electric current • React violently with alkali metals to form salts

  30. The Noble Gases

  31. The Noble Gases • Elements in group 18 • VERY unreactive, least reactive group • Used in lighted “neon” signs • Used in blimps to fix the Hindenberg problem. • Outermost energy level full • Contains: non-metals • Valence Electrons: 8 (2 for He) • Colorless, odorless gases at room temperature • All found in atmosphere

  32. Periods • Periods run horizontally across the Periodic Table • Periods are numbered 1 – 7 • All the elements in a period will have the same number of energy levels, which contain electrons. Examples: • Period 1 atoms have 1 energy level. • Period 2 atoms have 2 energy levels. • Period 5 atoms have 5 energy levels.

  33. Periods continued • Moving across from left to right across a period, each element has one more electron in the outer shell of its atom than the element before it. • This leads to a fairly regular pattern of change in the chemical behavior of the elements across a period.
