The Periodic Table
Periodic Table of Elements
• There are 117 elements (January, 2007)
– Your table contains 113
• 94 of the elements are naturally occurring,
the rest are man-made
• Most of the elements were discovered
between 1735-1843
History/Development
• Development of the table has occurred
over 300 years and continues today
• Dmitri Mendeleev is commonly credited
with creating the periodic table in 1869
Original Table (Mendeleev)
• Classified elements in horizontal rows
based on their atomic mass
• When there was a repeat of properties
the elements were placed in the next
row
– Concluded that similar properties appear at
regular intervals when the elements are
listed in order of increasing atomic mass
Original Table (Mendeleev)
• Elements with similar properties were
located in the same vertical columns, if no
known element had the expected
properties to fit the particular space he left
that space empty
– Assumed that elements not yet discovered
would fit into the empty spaces
– Predicted some properties of these unknown
elements (gallium, scandium, and germanium)
Modern Periodic Law - 1914
• Henry Moselely bombarded
elements with high speed electrons
and they emitted X-rays with a
certain wavelength
• He found that each element differed
by one proton
• Concluded that the regularity, or
periodicity, of the properties is a
function of the atomic number
(Modern Periodic Law)
Questions
1. The modern periodic table is arranged by
increasing _______________________.
2. The original periodic table was arranged
by increasing _____________________.
Organization of the Modern Periodic Table
• The periodic table is arranged in order of
increasing ATOMIC NUMBER
• Horizontal rows are called PERIODS
– There are 7 periods
• Vertical columns are called GROUPS
– There are 18 groups
Periods
• Horizontal Rows
• The number of each period indicates the
principle energy level in which the valence
electrons are located
• The number of valence electrons
increases as you go from left to right
• The properties of the elements change
systematically through a period
Groups (Families)
• Vertical Columns
• The outermost shell of an atom contains
the same number and arrangement of
valence electrons
• Elements that have similar chemical
properties are located in the same
group

Atomic Radius
• ½ the distance between any two nuclei
• Given on Reference Table S in picometers
– 1pm = 1x10-12m
Trend within a Period (Left to Right)
• Atomic Radius decreases
• As you move across a period the number of
protons increases, resulting in a stronger
nuclear charge therefore, electrons are pulled
closer to the nucleus
Trend within a Group (Top to Bottom)
• Atomic Radius increases
– Remember period number = PEL
• As you move down a group there are
additional rings, therefore the valence
electrons are further away from the
nucleus, resulting in a larger radius
Atomic Radius Examples
1. Which sequence of elements is arranged in
order of decreasing atomic radii?
a.
b.
c.
d.
Al, Si, P
Li, Na, K
Cl, Br, I
N, C, B
2. What is the radius of Ca?
3. What is the radius of Sr?
4. Explain why Sr has a larger atomic radius than
Ca.
Ionic Radius (IR)
• Radius that results from the loss or gain of
electrons
Metals (Left Side)
• Tend to lose 1 or more electrons when
forming positive ions
• Radius will decrease
• Ionic Radius < Atomic Radius
Ex: Na+ is smaller than Na
Non-metals (Right Side)
• Tend to gain 1 or more electrons when
forming negative ions
• Radius will increase
• Ionic Radius > Atomic Radius
Ex: Cl- is larger than Cl
Ionic Radius Examples
1. Which ion has the largest radius?

c. K+
d. Ca2+
2. Which of the following elements has an
ionic radius smaller than its atomic
radius?
a.
Neon b. Nitrogen
c. Sodium
d. Sulfur
3. The Na+ ion has a smaller radius than
the Ne atom, even though they both
contain 10 electrons. Explain why this is
so.
Ionization Energy
• The energy required to remove the most
loosely bound electron from an atom
• Low IE = greater tendency to lose
electrons and form positive ions
• High IE = greater tendency to gain
electrons and form negative ions
• Given on Reference Table S in kilojoules
per mole (kJ/mol)
IE within a Period (Left to Right)
• IE increases
• Number of protons increases, resulting in
a stronger nuclear charge
• The nucleus has a better hold on the
electrons, therefore more energy is
required to remove an electron
IE within a Group (Top to Bottom)
• IE decreases
• The principle energy levels increase, so
the valence electrons are further away
• Protons cannot hold onto the valence
electrons as well, therefore less energy is
required to remove an electron
Electronegativity (e-neg)
• Scale that measures the ability of an atom
to attract electrons from another atom
• Reference Table S
• Scale ranges from 0.0-4.0
• Fluorine is the highest = 4.0
• Difference between electronegativity
between two atoms can be used to
determine the type of bond
Trend within a Period (Left to Right)
• Electronegativity Increases
• More protons, resulting in a stronger
nucleus, therefore the nucleus is better
able to attract electrons
Trend within a Group (Top to
Bottom)
• Electronegativity decreases
• The atom is larger, so the nucleus is
further away from the valence shell,
therefore the nucleus is less able to attract
electrons

a. Na
b. Cl

group
• Group 1 elements are more reactive than group
2 elements

are easily lost) – Fr is the most reactive

Typical Nonmetals
High electronegativity – F is the highest
High ionization energy
Are so reactive that they cannot exist as in the
monoatomic form
• Exist in nature as diatomics (HOFBrINCl)
– F2 and Cl2 are gases
– Br2 is a liquid
– I2 and At2 are solids
• F is the most reactive nonmetal
• For nonmetals – high electronegativity = high
reactivity
Group 18 – Noble Gases
• Exist as gases at STP
• Exist as monatomic molecules (not
combined with anything
Example: He, Ne, Ar
• The outermost ring is complete, therefore
they are VERY STABLE (unreactive)
Groups 3-12
(Transition Elements)
• Hard solids
• High melting points (except mercury)
• Multiple Positive Oxidation States
– They can react with electrons from both s and
d sublevels
– Different numbers of electrons can be lost
• Colored Ions
– Easily excited (since d and s sublevels are
close)
