6.1 The Periodic Table

Mendeleev’s Periodic Table

• Set up by atomic mass v. atomic number-modern

Numbering the Periodic Table

• Groups: vertical

–Similar properties in each

• Periods: horizontal–No similar properties

–Increasing atomic number

Mapping the Periodic Table:Metals, Nonmetals, Metalloids

Definitions

● Metal: good conductor of heat and electricity, high luster (sheen), ductile, malleable○ With the exception of mercury (Hg), all metals are solid

at RT● Nonmetal: Most are gases at RT (Sulfur and phosphorous

are solids, bromine is a liquid)○ Generally poor conductors of heat and electricity○ solids tend to be brittle

● Semi-metal (metalloid): has a mix of properties of metals and nonmetals]○ Ex: pure silicon is a poor conductor of electricity, but

when mixed with boron, it becomes a good conductor of electric current

Ch. 6.2 and 6.3Electron configuration

Ions and charges

Periodic Trends

Electron config. Blocks

Valence electrons

• Valence Electrons (v.e.): – electrons used in bonding elements– Electrons in the highest energy level

• s and p sublevels – maximum is 8

– Valence electrons is the same as the group number (for representative elements)

• Example: Mg is group 2A, has 2 v.e.

Valence electrons in P.T.

Lewis Dot Structures

Ions

• Atoms gain or lose electrons to obtain a noble gas configuration– Cations: positive charge bc they LOSE

electrons.• Ca: loses 2 e- becomes +2 charge to be like Ar

(Ca2+)

– Anions: negative charge bc they GAIN electrons

• Cl: gains 1 e- become 1- charge to be like Ar (Cl-)

Charges of the Ions

• Atomic Size (radius): one half the distance between the nuclei of 2 atoms of the same element when 2 atoms are joined.– Ions: atom (or group of atoms) that has a

positive or negative charge by losing or gaining electrons.

• Anions: larger than original atom• Cations: smaller than original atom

Atomic Radius

Vocabulary

• Ionization Energy: energy required to remove the first electron from an atom. 

• Electronegativity: the ability of an atom to attract an electron when an atom is in a compound. (number value assigned arbitrarily 0.7- 4)
