New cards
Dmitri Mendeleev
Russian Chemist, used atomic mass and similar chemical properties to arrange elements into groups (families). Constructed first table in 1869. Left blank spaces and predicted the existence of three elements whose properties ended up being very similar.
2
New cards
Henry Mosely
English scientist, modified the periodic table in 1913. He found that elements relate better when arranged by atomic number (how they are arranged today).
3
New cards
Periodic Law
When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical properties.
4
New cards
Periodic Table
Used to understand and predict properties of elements. Has 18 groups and 7 periods.
5
New cards
118
How many elements are on the modern day periodic table?
6
New cards
Group
18 of them. Elements have similar physical and chemical properties
7
New cards
Period
7 of them. The properties of elements change as you move across them from element to element. Pattern of properties repeats as you move from one to the next.
8
New cards
Metal
Good conductors of heat and electricity, high luster when clean, ductile, malleable, and solid at room temp (except Mercury).
9
New cards
Nonmetal
Nonmetallic, non-lustrous, poor conductors of heat and electricity. Some are gas (oxygen, chlorine, fluorine, nitrogen), some are brittle solids (sulfur, carbon, selenium, iodine), and bromine is a liquid at a room temp.
10
New cards
Metalloid
Properties are intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals. Form a step line. They are semiconductors and all solids. Elements: Boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium (sometimes astatine and polonium).
11
New cards
Alkali Metal
Other name for group 1 elements
12
New cards
Alkaline Earth Metals
Other name for group 2 elements
13
New cards
Halogens
Other name for group 17 elements
14
New cards
Noble Gases
Other name for group 18 elements
15
New cards
Transition metals
Located in groups 3-12 and period 4-7
16
New cards
Inner Transition Metals
Pulled out rows of the periodic table. Include Lanthanides and Actinides. Also called Rare Earth Metals.
17
New cards
Atomic Radius
1/2 the distance between the nuclei of two like atoms in a diatomic molecule
18
New cards
Trends in Atomic Size
Increases as you move down a group because electrons are added to higher energy levels. Decreases as you move left to right across a period because of an increase of positive charges between the nucleus and electrons (pulls in, makes atom smaller). Francium largest, Helium smallest.
19
New cards
Ion
Atom or group of bonded atoms that has a charge.
20
New cards
Ionization Energy
Energy required to remove an electron from atom
21
New cards
Trends in Ionization Energy
Decreases as you move down a group because the size of atoms increase and electrons are farther away from the nucleus making it easier to remove them. Increases from left to right across a period because there is a greater attraction of nucleus for the electron. Helium largest, Francium smallest.
22
New cards
Electron Affinity
Energy charge that occurs when an electron is gained by a neutral atom.
23
New cards
Trends in Electron Affinity
Decreases as you move down a group. Increases as you move left to right across a period because the closer to a full sublevel, the higher it is. Fluorine largest, Francium smallest. Groups 2 & 18 have zero.
24
New cards
Ionic radius
The size of a cation or anion. Cation is smaller and a anion is larger.
25
New cards
Cation
Positively charged ion, lost electrons, size decreases (half the radius of neutral)
26
New cards
Anion
Negatively charged ion, lost electrons, size decreases (half the radius)
27
New cards
Trends in Ionic Size
Increase as you go down a group. Decreases from left to right until Group 15. Group 15 elements increase (between metals and nonmetals) and then decrease until Group 18.
28
New cards
Electronegativity
The measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons from another atom.
29
New cards
Trends in Electronegativity
Decreases as you move down a group. Increases as you move left to right across a period. Noble Gases are not included because they are not attractive. Fluorine largest because it attracts electrons, Francium smallest because it easily loses an electron.
