The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of chemical elements that are arranged by increasing atomic number and groups elements according to recurring properties. The rows are arranged so that metals are on the left side of the table and nonmetals are on the right side. The columns are called groups.
1. “The Periodic Table”
2. Organizing the Elements
 OBJECTIVES:
• Explain how elements are
organized in a periodic table.
3. Organizing the Elements
 OBJECTIVES:
• Compare early and modern
periodic tables.
4. Organizing the Elements
 OBJECTIVES:
• Identify three broad classes
of elements.
5. Organizing the Elements
 A few elements, such as gold and
copper, have been known for thousands
of years - since ancient times
 Yet, only about 13 had been identified
by the year 1700.
 As more were discovered, chemists
realized they needed a way to organize
the elements.
6. Organizing the Elements
 Chemists used the properties of
elements to sort them into groups.
 In 1829 J. W. Dobereiner arranged
elements into triads – groups of three
elements with similar properties
• One element in each triad had
properties intermediate of the other two
elements
7. Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
 By the mid-1800s, about 70
elements were known to exist
 Dmitri Mendeleev – a Russian
chemist and teacher
 Arranged elements in order of
increasing atomic mass
 Thus, the first “Periodic Table”
8. Mendeleev
 He left blanks for yet
undiscovered elements
• When they were discovered,
he had made good predictions
 But, there were problems:
• Such as Co and Ni; Ar and
K; Te and I
9. A better arrangement
 In 1913, Henry Moseley –
British physicist, arranged
elements according to
increasing atomic number
 The arrangement used today
 The symbol, atomic number &
mass are basic items included-
textbook page 162 and 163
10.
11. Another possibility:
Spiral Periodic Table
12. The Periodic Law says:
 When elements are arranged in
order of increasing atomic number,
there is a periodic repetition of their
physical and chemical properties.
 Horizontal rows = periods
• There are 7 periods
 Vertical column = group (or family)
• Similar physical & chemical prop.
• Identified by number & letter (IA, IIA)
13. Areas of the periodic table
 Three classes of elements are:
1) metals, 2) nonmetals, and
3) metalloids
1) Metals: electrical conductors, have
luster, ductile, malleable
2) Nonmetals: generally brittle and
non-lustrous, poor conductors of
heat and electricity
14. Areas of the periodic table
 Some nonmetals are gases (O, N,
Cl); some are brittle solids (S); one
is a fuming dark red liquid (Br)
 Notice the heavy, stair-step line?
3) Metalloids: border the line-2 sides
• Properties are intermediate
between metals and nonmetals
15. Classifying the Elements
 OBJECTIVES:
• Describe the information
in a periodic table.
16. Classifying the Elements
 OBJECTIVES:
• Classify elements based
on electron configuration.
17. Classifying the Elements
 OBJECTIVES:
• Distinguish
representative elements
and transition metals.
18.
19. Groups of elements - family names
 Group IA – alkali metals
• Forms a “base” (or alkali) when
reacting with water (not just dissolved!)
 Group 2A – alkaline earth metals
• Also form bases with water; do not
dissolve well, hence “earth metals”
 Group 7A – halogens
• Means “salt-forming”
20. Electron Configurations in Groups
 Elements can be sorted into 4
different groupings based on
their electron configurations:
1) Noble gases Let’s
2) Representative elements now
take a
3) Transition metals closer
look at
4) Inner transition metals these.
21. Electron Configurations in Groups
1) Noble gases are the elements
in Group 8A (also called Group18 or 0)
• Previously called “inert gases”
because they rarely take part in a
reaction; very stable = don’t react
• Noble gases have an electron
configuration that has the outer s
and p sublevels completely full
22. Electron Configurations in Groups
2) Representative Elements are
in Groups 1A through 7A
• Display wide range of properties,
thus a good “representative”
• Some are metals, or nonmetals,
or metalloids; some are solid,
others are gases or liquids
• Their outer s and p electron
configurations are NOT filled
23. Electron Configurations in Groups
3) Transition metals are in the “B”
columns of the periodic table
• Electron configuration has the
outer s sublevel full, and is now
filling the “d” sublevel
• A “transition” between the metal
area and the nonmetal area
• Examples are gold, copper, silver
24. Electron Configurations in Groups
4) Inner Transition Metals are
located below the main body of
the table, in two horizontal rows
• Electron configuration has the
outer s sublevel full, and is now
filling the “f” sublevel
• Formerly called “rare-earth”
elements, but this is not true
because some are very abundant
25.  Elements in the 1A-7A groups
1A 8A
are called the representative
2A elements 3A 4A 5A 6A 7A
outer s or p filling
26. The group B are called the
transition elements
 These are called the inner
transition elements, and they
belong here
27. Group 1A are the alkali metals (but NOT H)
Group 2A are the alkaline earth metals
H
28.  Group 8A are the noble gases
 Group 7A is called the halogens

38. Periodic Trends
 OBJECTIVES:
• Describe trends among the
elements for atomic size.
39. Periodic Trends
 OBJECTIVES:
• Explain how ions form.
40. Periodic Trends
 OBJECTIVES:
• Describe periodic trends for
first ionization energy, ionic
size, and electronegativity.
41. Trends in Atomic Size
 First problem: Where do you
start measuring from?
 The electron cloud doesn’t
have a definite edge.
 They get around this by
measuring more than 1 atom
at a time.
42. Atomic Size
}
Radius
 Measurethe Atomic Radius - this is half the
distance between the two nuclei of a diatomic
43. ALL Periodic Table Trends
 Influenced by three factors:
1. Energy Level
• Higher energy levels are further
away from the nucleus.
2. Charge on nucleus (# protons)
• More charge pulls electrons in
closer. (+ and – attract each other)
 3. Shielding effect (blocking effect?)
44. What do they influence?
Energy levels and Shielding
have an effect on the
GROUP (  )
Nuclear charge has an
effect on a PERIOD (  )
45. #1. Atomic Size - Group trends
 As we increase H
the atomic Li
number (or go
down a group). . . Na
 each atom has
K
another energy
level,
 so the atoms get
Rb
bigger.
46. #1. Atomic Size - Period Trends
 Going from left to right across a period,
the size gets smaller.
 Electrons are in the same energy level.
 But, there is more nuclear charge.
 Outermost electrons are pulled closer.

48. Ions
 Some compounds are composed of
particles called “ions”
• An ion is an atom (or group of atoms)
that has a positive or negative charge
 Atoms are neutral because the number
of protons equals electrons
• Positive and negative ions are formed
when electrons are transferred (lost or
gained) between atoms
49. Ions
 Metals tend to LOSE electrons,
from their outer energy level
• Sodium loses one: there are now
more protons (11) than electrons
(10), and thus a positively charged
particle is formed = “cation”
• The charge is written as a number
followed by a plus sign: Na1+
• Now named a “sodium ion”
50. Ions
 Nonmetals tend to GAIN one or
more electrons
• Chlorine will gain one electron
• Protons (17) no longer equals the
electrons (18), so a charge of -1
• Cl1- is re-named a “chloride ion”
• Negative ions are called “anions”
51. #2. Trends in Ionization Energy
 Ionization energy is the amount
of energy required to completely
remove an electron (from a
gaseous atom).
 Removing one electron makes a
1+ ion.
 The energy required to remove
only the first electron is called
the first ionization energy.
52. Ionization Energy
 The second ionization energy is
the energy required to remove
the second electron.
• Always greater than first IE.
 The third IE is the energy
required to remove a third
electron.
• Greater than 1st or 2nd IE.

55. What factors determine IE
 The greater the nuclear charge,
the greater IE.
 Greater distance from nucleus
decreases IE
 Filled and half-filled orbitals have
lower energy, so achieving them
is easier, lower IE.
 Shielding effect
56. Shielding
 The electron on the
outermost energy
level has to look
through all the other
energy levels to see
the nucleus.
 Second electron has
same shielding, if it
is in the same period
57. Ionization Energy - Group trends
 As you go down a group,
the first IE decreases
because...
• The electron is further
away from the attraction of
the nucleus, and
• There is more shielding.
58. Ionization Energy - Period trends
 All the atoms in the same period
have the same energy level.
 Same shielding.
 But, increasing nuclear charge
 So IE generally increases from
left to right.
 Exceptions at full and 1/2 full
orbitals.
59. He
 He has a greater IE
First Ionization energy
than H.
 Both elements have
H
the same shielding
since electrons are
only in the first level
 But He has a greater
nuclear charge

70. Driving Forces
 Full Energy Levels require
lots of energy to remove their
electrons.
• Noble Gases have full
orbitals.
 Atoms behave in ways to try
and achieve a noble gas
configuration.
71. 2nd Ionization Energy
 For elements that reach a
filled or half-filled orbital by
removing 2 electrons, 2nd
IE is lower than expected.
 True for s2
 Alkaline earth metals form
2+ ions.
72. 3rd IE
 Using the same logic s2p1
atoms have an low 3rd IE.
 Atoms in the aluminum
family form 3+ ions.
 2nd IE and 3rd IE are
always higher than 1st IE!!!
73. Trends in Ionic Size: Cations
 Cations form by losing electrons.
 Cations are smaller than the atom
they came from – not only do
they lose electrons, they lose an
entire energy level.
 Metals form cations.
 Cations of representative
elements have the noble gas
configuration before them.
74. Ionic size: Anions
 Anions form by gaining electrons.
 Anions are bigger than the atom
they came from – have the same
energy level, but a greater area the
nuclear charge needs to cover
 Nonmetals form anions.
 Anions of representative elements
have the noble gas configuration
after them.
75. Configuration of Ions
 Ions always have noble gas
configurations ( = a full outer level)
 Na atom is: 1s22s22p63s1
 Forms a 1+ sodium ion: 1s22s22p6
 Same configuration as neon.
 Metals form ions with the
configuration of the noble gas
before them - they lose electrons.
76. Configuration of Ions
 Non-metals form ions by
gaining electrons to
achieve noble gas
configuration.
 They end up with the
configuration of the noble
gas after them.
77. Ion Group trends
 Each step down a
group is adding Li1+
an energy level Na1+
K1+
 Ions therefore get
bigger as you go Rb1+
down, because of
Cs1+
the additional
energy level.
78. Ion Period Trends
 Across the period from left to
right, the nuclear charge
increases - so they get smaller.
 Notice the energy level changes
between anions and cations.

79. #3. Trends in Electronegativity
 Electronegativity is the tendency
for an atom to attract electrons to
itself when it is chemically
combined with another element.
 They share the electron, but how
equally do they share it?
 An element with a big
electronegativity means it pulls the
electron towards itself strongly!
80. Electronegativity Group Trend
 The further down a group,
the farther the electron is
away from the nucleus,
plus the more electrons an
atom has.
 Thus, more willing to
share.
 Low electronegativity.
81. Electronegativity Period Trend
 Metals are at the left of the table.
 They let their electrons go easily
 Thus, low electronegativity
 At the right end are the nonmetals.
 They want more electrons.
 Try to take them away from others
 High electronegativity.
82. The arrows indicate the trend:
Ionization energy and Electronegativity
INCREASE in these directions
83. Atomic size and Ionic size increase
in these directions:
