1. The Periodic Table

2. •Introduction
–The periodic table is made up of rows of elements
and columns.
–An element is identified by its chemical symbol.
–The number above the symbol is the atomic number
–The number below the symbol is the rounded
atomic weight of the element.
–A row is called a period
–A column is called a group

3. Organizing the Elements
•Chemists used the properties of
elements to sort them into groups.
•JW. Dobreiner grouped elements into
triads.
•A triad is a set of three elements with
similar properties.

4. Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
•In 1869, a Russian
chemist and
teacher published a
table of the
elements.
•Mendeleev arranged
the elements in the
periodic table in
order of increasing
atomic mass.

5. Henry Moseley
1887 - 1915
In 1913, through his work with X-rays, he
determined the actual nuclear charge
(atomic number) of the elements*. He
rearranged the elements in order of
increasing atomic number.
*“There is in the atom a fundamental
quantity which increases by regular
steps as we pass from each element to
the next. This quantity can only be the
charge on the central positive nucleus.”

6. The Periodic Law
In the modern periodic
table elements are
arranged in order of
increasing atomic
number.
Periodic Law states:
When elements are
arranged in order of
increasing atomic
number, there is a
periodic repetition
of their physical and
chemical properties.

7. •The elements can be grouped into
three broad classes based on their
general properties.
•Three classes of elements are Metals,
Nonmetals, and Metalloids.
•Across a period, the properties of
elements become less metallic and
more nonmetallic.

8. 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.
•Solid at room temperature
except Hg.

9. 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.
Sulfur

10. 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.
Silicon
