ANALYSING THE PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS

Learning Outcomes You should be able to: Describe the contributions of scientists in the historical development of the Periodic Table, Identify groups and periods in the Periodic Table, State the basic principle of arranging the elements in the Periodic Table from their proton numbers, Relate the electron arrangement of an element to its group and period, Explain the advantages of grouping elements in the Periodic Table, Predict the group and the period of an element based on its electron arrangement. 4.1.1 History of Periodic Table Chemist 1. Antoine Lavoisier Founding Antoine Lavoisier is the first chemist who classifies elements into 4 groups. Into metal and non-metal. He had mistakenly classified light and heat as matter and baryta (barium hydroxide), lime and silica as element. He grouped 3 elements with the same chemical properties called triad. Law of Triads: the atomic mass of the middle element is equals to the average of the other two members and all 3 elements show similar chemical properties. The table below shows the example of triads found by Dobereiner. Alkali triad Earth Alkali Halogen triad Triad Lithium, Barium, Chlorine, Sodium, Calcium, Bromine, Potassium Strontium Iodine In 1864, he arranged the elements according to the ascending order of their atomic mass. He proposed the Law of Octaves (the seven intervals of the musical scale). This law stated element will exhibit similar chemical properties to the eighth element following it in the table. He plotted the atomic volumes of the elements against the atomic weight, and found that the chemical properties of the element recur periodically. He also notice that the elements occupying the corresponding position of the curve show similar chemical properties. For example, all the elements located at the peak of the graph (Lithium, sodium and potassium) show similar chemical properties. He arranges the elements according to the ascending order

of atomic mass and put all the elements that have same chemical properties in the same group. He left empty space in the periodic table for elements that haven't been discovery at that time. He arranged the elements in the periodic table according to the ascending order of the proton number, but not the atomic mass (by Mendeleev). This correction was a very important step in modernisation of periodic table.

4.1.2 Modern Periodic Table

In modern periodic table, the elements are arranged in ascending order of Proton Number. 2. The vertical columns is called GROUP whereas the horizontal rows is called the PERIOD.
1.

GROUP 1. There are 18 groups in the periodic table. 2. All the elements in the same group have same number of valence electron(outermost electron). 3. Thus, elements in the same group exhibit same chemical properties. 4. Name of the Group Group 1- Alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) Group 2 - Earth Alkaline Metals (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra) Group 17 Halogens ( F, Cl, Br, I, At) Group 18 - Noble Gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn)

PERIOD 1. There are 7 periods in period table. 2. All elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells filled with electrons. 3. The first period only has 2 elements only. 4. The second and third period consist of 8 elements, are called the short period. 5. The forth and the fifth period consist of 18 elements, are called the long period. 6. The sixth and the seventh period have 32 elements.

Lanthanide and Actinide Series: 1. The sixth period has 32 elements. Due to short of space, 14 elements in the transition metal group are removed from the same horizontal row and is placed below the main table. These elements are called the Lanthanide Series.
WONG HT Page 3

Chapter 4 Periodic Table

2. The seventh period also has 32 elements. With the same reason, 14 elements are removed from the same horizontal row and are placed below the main table; these elements are called the Actinide Series. 4.1.3 Periodic Table and Electronic Configuration The classification of Group and Period are totally related to the electron arrangement of the atoms as follows: - All the elements in a same group have same number of valence electron(s) -outer most electron(s). - All the elements in a same period have equal number of electron shell(s) (orbit). 2. For example, Element Electron Group / configuration Period Calcium, 2.8.8.2 Group 2, Ca Period 4 Sulphur, 2.8.6 S Neon, Ne 2.8

Chapter 4 Periodic Table

The "Noble Gases" are the last group in the Periodic Table, they also known as "inert gas", due to their non-reactive behavior. 2. This group consists of six elements, namely Helium, Neon, Argon, Kripton, Xenon and Radon. 3.

Nevertheless, the density increases steadily down the group. Solubility All noble gas are ______________ in water. Electrical / All noble gas ____________ conduct heat and electricity. Heat conductivit y Melting The melting and boiling point of noble gases are very Point and ___________. Boiling This is because all noble gases exist as ______________. The Point force in between all these atoms is the weak ______________________. Therefore very little energy is needed to overcome this force during melting and boiling. The melting and boiling point increase down the group. Reason: This is because the atomic size increases down the group. The strength of van de Waals force increases as the size of the particles (atoms) increases. More energy is needed to overcome the force in between the atoms during melting and boiling, hence the melting and boiling point become higher. Chemical Properties of Group 18 Reactivity All the noble gases are non-reactive (very stable) elements. This is because their valence shell is full of electrons. In the chemical world, an atom is in the chemically most stable state if their valence shell is full with eight electrons - octet or

2 electrons - duplet for Helium. Therefore all noble gases do not react with other elements; they exist as monoatom (single atom). 4.2.1 Uses of the Noble Gases Noble Gases Helium Uses Airship The gas is much less dense than air. Therefore it is used in balloons and 'airships'. Because of its inertness it doesn't burn in air UNLIKE hydrogen which used to be used in large balloons with 'flammable' consequences. Deep-sea Diving Helium is also used in gas mixtures for deep-sea divers. This is because the solubility of the helium is very low. Therefore it will not dissolve in the blood even though the pressure of the surrounding is very high. Neon emits light when high voltage electricity is passed through it. It is used in advertising light bulb and fluorescent lights. Filament Bulb Neon emits light when high voltage electricity is passed through it. Because of this, it is used in glowing 'neon' advertising signs and fluorescent lights. Welding Argon prevents the hot metal from reacting with oxygen gas in the air. Krypton is used in fluorescent bulbs, flash bulbs and laser beams(repair retina of the eye) Used in electron tubes and stroboscopic lamp. To treat cancer because it is radioactive.

Introduction
1. The Group 1 metals is called the Alkali Metals. 2. This is because they form oxides and hydroxides that dissolve in water to give

alkaline solutions. 3. The elements are lithium(Li), sodium(Na), potassium(K), rubidium(Rb), cesium(Cs) and francium(Fr). 4. They have 1 valence electron, so they have same chemical properties. 5. All alkali metals are very reactive. They must be stored in paraffin oil prevent reaction with oxygen or water vapour in air. 6. Physical Properties and chemical properties of Group 1 metals: Physical Properties Chemical Properties Good conductors of heat / electricity, Reacts with: High boiling points, Cold water to produce hydrogen gas Shinny surface (but rapidly tarnished by and alkalis. air). Oxygen to produce metal oxide. Low density (first three float on water),

the group. All the atoms of Group 1 metals are bonded together by metallic bond. The strength of metallic bond depends on the distance between the atoms. The nearer the atoms, the stronger the bond. Down the group, the size of the atoms increases, causing the distance of the atoms increases, the metallic bond between the atoms decreases. Therefore, less energy is needed to overcome the metallic bond during melting process. Density The densities of Group 1 metals are low compare with the other metals. The densities of the first 3 elements (Lithium, Sodium and Potassium) are lower than water. Thus, they can float on the surface of water. Nevertheless, the density increases down the group. Reactivity Reactivity of group 1 increases down the group. Reactivity of group 1 refer to the ability to release electrons to form positive ion. When an alkali metal atom reacts, it loses its valence electron to form a positive ion. As going down the group 1, the atomic radius getting bigger. The valence electron is further away from the nucleus. Thus the attraction force between the nucleus and the valence electron become weaker. This causes the valence electron is easier to be released to form an cation. Important trends down the group with increase in atomic number. 1. Size of atoms increases 2. The melting point and boiling point decrease 3. The density increases. 4. Reactivity increases. 5. The hardness decreases. 4.3.1 Chemical Properties 1. Group 1 metals are very reactive metals. 2. They all show the same chemical properties because they have the same valence electron. 3. When an alkali metal atom reacts, it loses the valence electron to form a positively charged ion (Cation). Examples:

5. Changes across Period 3: Size of Atom The size of atom decreases. All the elements have 3 shells filled with electrons but proton number increases by 1 unit across the period. Thus, the attraction force between the nucleus (proton) and the valence electrons is stronger across a period. This force will pull the valence electrons closer to the nucleus and thus reduces the atomic radius (size). The melting point and boiling point increase from left to middle (Na<Mg<Al<Si) and then decrease again (P, S, Cl, Ar).

Boiling Point and Melting Point Valence electron Electronegativi ty

Increases across the period.

Electronegativity increases across the period. Electronegativity refers to the ability of atom to attract electrons to form anion. The atomic radius decreases across period. The attraction force between the nucleus and the valence electron become stronger. This causes the higher tendency to attract an electron to form an anion. Nature of metal From left to right, the elements change from metals to metalloid (semi-metal) and finally to non-metals. Metals: Na, Mg, Al Metalloid: Si Non metal: P, S, Cl, Ar Nature of oxide The oxides of the elements change from basic to amphoteric and then to acidic. Amphoteric oxide can react with both acid and bases to form salt and water. (Al2O3) Important trends across the period: 1. Size of atoms decreases 2. Electronegativity increases
