How did Mendeleev arrange the elements in his periodic table?
In his periodic table, Mendeleev arranged elements in rows by increasing atomic mass.
What was Mendeleev able to predict?
was able to predict new elements
Why did Mendeleev leave spaces in his table?
He used the spaces to successfully predict the existence and properties of elements not yet discovered.
How are elements arranged in the modern periodic table?
The modern periodic table organizes elements by atomic number. When the elements are arranged in this way, elements that have similar properties appear at regular intervals.
The Periodic Table of the Elements
Do elements become more or less metallic as you move across each period?
less
Period
a horizontal row of elements in the periodic table
What do elements in each group have in common?
Similar properties
Group
a vertical column of elements in the periodic table; elements in a group share chemical properties
What are the periodic trends in the periodic table?
The result of electron arrangement
What are chemical properties largely determined by?
The number of valence electrons
What do valence electrons account for?
Similar properties
What is the location of the periodic table related to?
Electron arrangement
Example: Lithium and sodium, in Group 1, each have one valence electron
What happens to an atom that gains or loses electrons?
If an atom gains or loses electrons, it no longer has an equal number of electrons and protons. Because the charges do not cancel completely, the atom has a net electric charge.
Are the Group 1 ions positive or negative?
Positive; the single valence electrons is easily removed
Are Group 17 ions positive or negative?
Negative; the addition of one valence electron fills the outer energy level.
What are the three main categories of elements?
All elements are either metals, nonmetals, or semiconductors.
What do elements in each category have in common?
They have similar properties
Metal
an element that is shiny and that conducts heat and electricity well
nonmetal
an element that conducts heat and electricity poorly
semiconductor (or metalloid)
an element or compound that conducts electric current better than an insulator does but not as well as a conductor does
