The modern periodic table

Arrangement of elements in the Periodic Table.

1. 4 th Quarter The Modern Periodic Table

2. After a series of revisions, the early periodic table has evolved into what it is now. In the modern periodic table, the elements are arranged horizontally in order of increasing atomic numbers. Each element is identified by its symbols placed at the middle of the square; the atomic number and the atomic mass are also included.

3. The Groups also known as families 18 vertical columns in the periodic table elements have similar chemical properties due to their similarities in the number of electrons in their outer shells composed of two categories: Group A (Representative Elements) Group B (Transition Metals)

4. Group A (Representative Elements) Group IA – Alkali Metals (except Hydrogen) Group IIA – Alkaline Earth Metals Group IIIA – Aluminum Group/Boron Family Group IVA – Carbon Family Group VA – Nitrogen Family Group VIA – Oxygen Family/ Chalcogens Group VIIA – Halogens Group VIIIA – Noble/Inert Gases

5. Group B (Transition Elements) found in between Group IIA and Group IIIA and referred to as the d-block inner transition elements (lanthanides and actinides) are found at the bottom of the table and referred to as the f-block

6. The Periods also known as series seven horizontal rows

7. Period 1 – 2 elements; electrons occupy only 1 main energy level, s-sublevel Periods 2 and 3 – 8 elements; eight electrons in the s- and p-sublevels Periods 4 and 5 – 18 elements each; eighteen electrons in the s-, p- and d-sublevels Periods 6 – 32 elements; 32 electrons in the s-, p-, d- and f-sublevels. - 14 elements from 58 – 71 were removed and placed at the bottom to form the Lanthanide series.

8. Period 7 – 14 elements; placed at the bottom part of the table to form the Actinide series; incomplete period Inner Transition Elements – last two periods Lanthanide Series = Rare Earth Elements Actinide Series = Heavy Rare Earth Elements

9. Four Main Regions in the Periodic Table Elements belonging to the same group have similar last sublevel configuration ( lsc ). Thus using the electron configuration of the elements, the periodic table can be divided into 4 regions or blocks such as s-, p-, d- and f-blocks.

10. Block Assigned Group s block Group 1A to 2A (Representative Elements) p block Group 3A to 8A (Representative Elements) d block Group 1B to 8B (Transition Metals) f block Inner Transition Elements

11. Points to be consider in determining the electron configuration and/or position of elements in the periodic table. The Number of electrons in the outermost energy level or the valence electrons resembles to the group number. The highest main energy level occupied by the electrons of the atom corresponds to the period where the element is located in the periodic table.

12. Configuration of Valence Electrons of Representative Elements s- and p-sublevels n represents the number of the highest main energy level n is same as the period number in the periodic table

13. Group Number General Valence Electron Cnfiguration 1A ns1 2A ns2 3A ns2np1 4A ns2np2 5A ns2np3 6A ns2np4 7A ns2np5 8A ns2np6

14. Example: 1. Magnesium (Mg) belongs to Group 2A , Period 3 Atomic # = 12 Electron Configuration = 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3 s 2

15. 2. Arsenic (As) belongs to Group 5A , Period 4 Atomic # = 33 Electron Configuration = 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 4 s 2 3d 10 4p 3 3. Chlorine ( Cl ) belongs to Group 7A , Period 3 Atomic # = 17 Electron Configuration = 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3 s 2 3p 5

16. Let’s Try! Sodium Calcium Oxygen

17. Configuration of Valence Electrons of Transition Elements s- and d-sublevels (Transition Elements) s-and f-sublevels (Inner Transition Elements) n represents the number of the highest main energy level n is same as the period number in the periodic table

18. Example: 1. Iron (Fe) belongs to Group 8B , Period 4 Atomic # = 26 Electron Configuration = 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 4 s 2 3d 6 2. Technetium ( Tc ) belongs to Group 7B , Period 5 Atomic # = 43 Electron Configuration = 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 4s 2 3d 10 4p 6 5 s 2 4d 5

19. 3. Berkelium ( Bk ) belongs to Group 1B , Period 7 Atomic # = 97 Electron Configuration = 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 4s 2 3d 10 4p 6 5s 2 4d 10 5p 6 6s 2 4f 14 5d 10 6p 6 7 s 2 5f 9

20. Let’s Try! Manganese Zirconium Gold

21. Reactivity of Elements Octet Rule – the basis in understanding the properties of the elements - states that, atoms or ions often react to obtain exactly eight electrons in their valence shell.

22. Alkali Metals Group 1A of the periodic table All are very reactive in the their elemental form . They are very soft, lustrous metals. They form compounds with the halogens similar to table salt, a compound formed by sodium and chlorine.

23. Halogens Group 7A very reactive form compounds with alkali metals Sodium chloride is a very stable compound because both the sodium ion and chloride ion has eight valence electrons or a complete octet.

24. Noble Gases Group 8A have complete octet, very stable unreactive gases physical and chemical properties can be predicted from their position in the periodic table.

25. Classification of Elements

26. Metals usually found on the left side and at the center of the periodic table. three-fourths of the discovered elements have high thermal and electrical conductivity have mobile particles that can carry thermal or heat energy and electrical charges from one point of the material to another also have the ability to lose electrons

27. Metals In a group, from top to bottom of the periodic table, metallic character increases . bottom elements of the periodic table, the most metallic; top elements, least metallic Across the period from left to right , metallic character decreases . right elements, least metallic; left elements, most metallic

28. Metals bottom to left corner of the periodic table are the most reactive metals more metallic, more reactive Group 1A and 2A – very reactive metals

29. Transition Metals – less reactive among the metals Coinage metals – unreactive transition metals at room temperature (gold, silver, platinum); they do not react with most of the substances they come into contact with.

30. Nonmetals lie on the right side of the zigzag line 22 known nonmetals, 11 are gases do not conduct heat and electricity well h ave little luster and seldom reflect light usually brittle tend to gain electrons

31. Metalloids found along the zigzag line between the metals and non metals can behave as either as a metal or a nonmetal

32. Synthesis: Describe the arrangement of elements in the Modern Periodic Table. What is the basis of the groupings of the elements? What are the points to be considered in determining the electron configuration and/or position of elements in the periodic table.
