Advantages of Classifying the Elements in the Periodic Table
1. Elements are arranged systematically in the Periodic Table in an increasing order of proton number which enables:a. chemists to study , understand and remember the chemical and physical properties
of all the elements and compounds in an orderly manner,b. properties of elements and their compounds to be predicted based on the position
of elements in the Periodic Table,c. relationship between elements from different groups to be known.

Scientists Discoveries
Antoine -
Substances were classified into 4 groups with similar chemical properties. J.W
Dobereiner - Substances were arranged in 3 groups.- Groups with similar chemical properties were called Triads.- Triad system was confined to some elements only.
JohnNewlands
- Elements were arranged in accending atomic mass.- Law of Octaves because similar chemical properties were repeated at every
eighth element.- This system was inaccurate because there were some elements with wrong mass
numbers.Lothar
Meyer
- The atomic volume = ( )
( )
- Plotted graph for the atomic volume against atomic mass.- Found that elements with similiar chemical properties were positioned at
equivalent places along the curve.Mendeleev - Elements were arranged in ascending order of increasing atomic mass.
- Elements with similar chemical properties were in the same group.- Empty spaces were allocated for elements yet to be discovered.- Contributor to the formation of the modern Periodic Table.
HenryMoseley
- Classified concepts of proton number and elements in accending order of increasing proton number.
- Contributor to the formation of the modern Periodic Table.
1. Write the electron arrangement for each atom of element in the Periodic Table below.
2. Elements in the Periodic Table are arranged horizontally in increasing order of protonnumber .
3. Two main components of the Periodic Table:
i. Groupii. Period
Period
a. The vertical column of elements in the Periodic Table arranged according to thenumber of valance electron in the outermost shell of atoms is called groups.
b. There are 18 vertical columns, called Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3 until Group 18.
Number of Valence Electrons 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8(except Helium)
Group 1 2 13 14 15 16 17 18
For atoms of elements with 3 to 8 valence electrons,the group number is: 10 + number of valence electrons.
c. Specific name of groups: Group 1 – Alkali metals # Group 2 – Alkali-earth metals. Group 3 to 12 – Transition elements #
Group 17 – Halogens # Group 18 – Noble gases #
# The important groups that will be studied with respect to chemical andphysical properties.
d. Types of substances according to the groups:- Elements of group 1, 2 and 13 – atoms of each element have 1, 2 and 3 valence
electrons respectively are metals.- The elements of group 3 to 12 – transition
elements are metals.- The elements of Group 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18
– atoms of each element have 4, 5, 6 7 and 8valence electrons respectively are non-metals.
Period
1. The horizontal row of elements in the Periodic Table, consists of the same number of shells occupied with electrons in an atom are called period.
2. There are seven horizontal rows of elements known as period 1, 2, ....., 7 [Refer to theperiodic table] a) Period 1 – has 2 elements b) Period 2 and 3 # – have 8 elements c) Period 4 and 5 – have 18 elements d) Period 6 – has 32 elements e) Period 7 – has 23 elements
Short periods, # Period 3 will be studied in detailwith respect to physical and chemical properties
1. The diagram below shows the chemical symbols which represent elements X, Y andZ.
a. The proton number of element X is 11 and the number of proton inatom X is 11 . The number of electrons in atom X is 11 . The electronarrangement of atom X is 2.8.1 . Element X is located in Group 1 becauseatom X has one valence electron . It is Period 3 because atom X has three shells occupied /filled with electrons .
b. i. State the position of element Y in the Periodic Table. Element Y is located in Group 14 and Period 2
Elements Electron arrangement Helium 2 Neon 2.8 Argon 2.8.8
Krypton 2.8.18.8
2. They are chemically inert because the outermost shell of the atom has achieved dupletelectron arrangement for helium and octet electron arrangement for others.
3. It does not combine with other elements (does not lose, gain or share electrons).4. These gases exist as single uncombined atoms and are said to be monoatomic gases.5. Going down group 18:
a. The atomic size is increasing because the number of shells increases.b. The melting point/boiling point is very low because atoms of noble gases atoms
are attracted by weak Van der Waals forces, less energy is required to overcomethese forces. However, the melting / boiling point increases going down the groupbecause atomic size increases, causing the Van der Waal forces to increase andmore energy is required to overcome these forces.
c. The density is low and increases gradually because the mass increases greatlygoing down the group.
6. All noble gases are insoluble in water and cannot conduct electricity in all conditions.
7. Complete the uses of noble gases in the table below:
Noble gases UsesHelium To fill weather balloons and airship Neon To fill neon light (for advertisement board) Argon To fill electrical bulb
Krypton To fill photographic flash lamp Radon To treat cancer
Group 1 (Alkali Metals)
1. Consist of Lithium(Li), Sodium(Na), Potassium(K), Rubidium(Rb), Cesium(Cs) andFrancium(Fr).
Elements Symbol Proton Number Electron Arrangementin atom
Number of Shellsin atom
Lithium Li 3 2.1 2Sodium Na 11 2.8.1 3
Potassium K 19 2.8.8.1 4
2. Physical properties:a. Grey solid with shiny surface.b. Softer and the density is lower compared to other metals.c. Lower melting and boiling points compared to other metals.
3. Changes in physical properties going down the group:a. Atomic size increases because the number of shells increases.b. Density increases because mass increases faster than the increase in radius.c. Melting and boiling point decreases because when the atomic size increases, the
metal bonds are weaker.
4. Chemical Properties of Group 1 elements:
a. Each atom has one valence electron; the stable octet electron arrangement isachieved by releasing one valence electron.
b. All elements in Group 1 have similar chemical properties because all atoms inGroup 1 have one valence electron and achieve the stable electron arrangementby releasing its valence electron to form a positive charged ion.
c. The reactivity of alkali metals increases going down the group.Explanation:
i. Atoms of Group 1 metals achieve a stable electron arrangement of noblegases by releasing one valence electron to form +1 charged ion.
ii.
The reactivity of Group 1 metals depends on the ability for atoms to loseelectrons; the easier it is to lose an electron, the greater the reactivity of the metal.
iii. Going down Group 1, the number of shells increases, the atomic radiusincreases and the valence electron in the outer most shell gets further away from the nucleus. The nuclei attraction on the valence electron getsweaker , the valence electron is loosely held and it is easier for theelectron to be released.
5. Chemical Reactions of Group 1 elements:a. With water
2X + 2H 2O → 2XOH + H 2, X is a metal element of Group 1
Element Observation Chemical equation Li Lithium moves slowly on the water surface. The
colourless solution formed turns red litmus to blue.2Li + H 2O → 2LiOH + H 2
Na Sodium moves quickly on the water surface and produces yellow flame. The colourless solution formed turns red litmus to blue.
2Na + H 2O → 2NaOH + H 2
K Potasium moves very quickly on the water surfaceand produce yellow flame. The colourless solution
3. Changes in physical properties going down the group :-a. Physical properties change from gas (Fluorine and Chlorine) to liquid
(Bromine) and to solid (Iodine) at room temperature.b. The atomic size increases going down the group because of increase in
number of shell . c. The density is low and increases going down the group.d. The melting and boiling points are low because the molecules are attracted by
weak Van der Waals forces, and small amount of energy is required toovercome these forces. However the melting/boiling point increases goingdown the group because the increase in atomic size causes a stronger molecular forces. More energy required to overcome this forces .
e. The colour of the elements becomes darker going down the group: Fluorine(light yellow), Chlorine (greenish yellow), Bromine (Brown) and Iodine(Purplish black).
4. Chemical properties of Group 17 elementsa. All atoms of elements in Group 17 have 7 valence electron and achive a stable
octet electron arrangement by accepting one electron to form negative chargedions:
b. Chemical properties of all elements are similar because the number of valenceelectrons in atoms are the same and achieve the stable octet electronarrangement in a similar way.
c. Reactivity of halogens decreases going down the group :Explanation:
i. All the atoms of Group 17 have seven valence electrons and achieve astable octet electron arrangement by accepting one electron to form – 1charged ion or by sharing a pair of electrons.
ii. The reactivity of a halogen atom depends on the tendency of the atomto accept electron.
iii. Going down Group 17, the number of shells increases, atomic size increases.
iv. Outer shell becomes further from the nucleus.v. The strength to attract one electron into the outer most occupied shell
by the nucleus becomes weaker .vi. The strength of a halogen atom to attract electron decreases from
fluorine to astatine (electronegativity decreases)
vii. Exist as diatomic molecules (2 atoms of elements sharing a pair of valence electrons) to achieve stable octet electron arrangement.(Complete the electron arrangement for the atom and molecule below)
The elements of the group exist as diatomic molecules: F 2, Cl 2,Br2, I2 and At 2

b. With Sodium hydroxide, (NaOH):X2+ 2NaOH → NaX + NaOX + H 2O
I2+ 2NaOH → NaI + NaOI + H 2O
c. With iron (Fe):
2Fe + X 2 → 2FeX 3, X 2 represents any halogen (Cl 2, Br 2 or I 2)
c. i. Element X can react with sodium hydroxide solution. Write the chemicalequation for the reaction.
X2 + 2NaOH → NaX + NaOX + H 2O
ii. Between elements X and Y, which is more electronegative? X is more electronegative than element Y
iii. How does the reactivity of element X and element Y differ? Explain youranswer.- Element X is more reactive than element Y - The size of atom X is smaller than atom Y - The outermost occupied shell of atom X is nearer to the nucleus
compare to atom Y. - The strength of the nucleus of atom X to attract electron into the
outermost shell is stronger than atom Y
