1
New cards

Dimitri Mendeleev

1869

developed first periodic table

expressed regularities as a periodic function of the atomic mass

2
New cards

Henry Moseley

revised Mendeleev periodic table by describing regularities as periodic functions of atomic number

3
New cards

Group/family

vertical columns

elements with similar valence electrons configurations

4
New cards

group

number of the column

5
New cards

family

name of elements in a group (eg. alkali metals, noble gases, etc)

6
New cards

Group 1

Alkali metals - high reactivity

7
New cards

Group 2

Alkaline earth metals - high reactivity

8
New cards

Group 3-12

transition metals - low to moderate reactivity

9
New cards

Group 15

Nitrogen family - moderate reactivity

10
New cards

Group 16

oxygen family - reactive

11
New cards

Group 17

halogens - extremely (highest) reactive

12
New cards

Group 18

noble gases - nonreactive

13
New cards

periods

horizontal rows

principle quantum # of valence electrons

14
New cards

metals

left of staircase

lustruous

malleable

ductile

good conductors

15
New cards

nonmetals

right of staircase

non-lustrous

brittle

poor conductors → good insulators

most are gases

16
New cards

metalloids

on staircase

properties of both

17
New cards

s sublevel

1 orbital (2 electrons)

18
New cards

p sublevel

3 orbitals (6 electrons)

19
New cards

d sublevel

5 orbitals (10 electrons)

20
New cards

f sublevel

7 orbitals (14 electrons)

21
New cards

Aufbau Principle

Electrons fill the lowest energy levels first

22
New cards

Pauli Exclusion Principle

each orbital can hold two electrons with opposite spins

23
New cards

Hund’s Rule

all orbitals within a sublevel must contain at least one electron before any orbital can have two

24
New cards

Valence electrons

electrons in the outermost principal energy level (highest coefficient = valence energy level)

25
New cards

core electrons

innermost electrons - not involved in bonding

26
New cards

Isoelectronic

atoms or ions that have the same electron configuration

27
New cards

Electromagnetic Radiation

forms of energy that move through space as waves (eg: light, x-rays, ultraviolet light, infrared, radio waves)

28
New cards

Wavelength

distance between peaks of adjacent waves

29
New cards

Frequency

the number of waves passing a given point in one second

30
New cards

How are photons emitted?

when an electron falls from an excited state to a lower principal energy level (ground state).
