PERIODIC TABLE Organization and trends
Introduction • In 1869 a Russian scientist named Dmitri Mendeleyev constructed 1st periodic table. • He organized the elements according to their properties. • An elements position on the table tells us a lot about the element!
Organizing the elements • Periods – the horizontal rows on the periodic table • There are seven periods • The lanthanides and actinides fit in with the sixth and seventh periods
Organizing the elements • Families/ Groups - the vertical columns on the periodic table • Elements have similar properties • Usually react the same in chemical reactions • May look the same and be used for the same purposes • Each family is numbered and has a name
Organizing the elements • Metals, Nonmetals and Metalloids • All elements to the left of the “stair step” are metals • They are good conductors • They have a shiny, metallic luster • They are malleable and ductile
Organizing the elements • All elements to the right of the “stair step” are called nonmetals. • They are poor conductors • They usually have a dull or earthy luster • When pounded, nonmetals usually shatter or form powders
Organizing the elements • The elements that touch the bold step-shaped line are called metalloids. • These elements have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals • There are eight of them: B, Si Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, At
Class work/Home work • Read through chapter 6.1 and write out a list of characteristics for the following families: • Alkali Metals (Name the elements included in these) • Alkaline Earth metals (Name the elements included in this family) • Transition metals • Lanthanide series and actinide series • Halogens (Name the elements included in these) • Nobel gases (Name the elements included in these)
