Title: The Chemist


1
Exploring the Periodic Table
  • The Chemists Calendar
  • Presented by
  • Sunni Bauers

2
Development of the Periodic Table
  • In the 1880s a Russian scientist, Dmitri
    Mendeleev, saw a hidden pattern in the elements.
    Mendeleev noticed that patterns appeared when the
    elements were arranged in order of increasing
    atomic mass. He realized that groups of elements
    had similar chemical and physical properties. He
    arranged the the elements according to
    increasing atomic mass and grouped the elements
    according to their properties. Todays Periodic
    Table is now arranged according to increasing
    atomic number, otherwise its the same as
    Mendeleevs.

3
Reading the Periodic Table
  • The periodic table contains over 100 squares,
  • one separate square for each element. Each
    square
  • includes the elements atomic number, chemical
  • symbol, name, and atomic mass.

4
Inside the Squares
  • Reading the Squares
  • The square for Lithium
  • Lithium - Elements Name
  • 3 - Elements Atomic Number ( of protons
    and electrons)
  • Li - Elements Symbol (one or two letters)
  • 6.941 - Elements Atomic Mass ( of protons and
    neutrons)

5
Organizing the Periodic Table
  • The main body of the periodic table is
    arranged into eighteen vertical columns and seven
    horizontal rows. The elements in a column are
    called a group or a family. The elements in each
    group have similar characteristics.
  • Each horizontal row across the table is
    called a period. The elements in each period are
    not alike in properties. As you move across a
    period, the elements change properties gradually
    and predictably.

6
Characteristics of the Types of Elements
  • Metals - hardness, shininess, malleability, and
    ductility
  • Nonmetals - dull, brittle, and poor conductors of
    heat and electricity
  • Metalloids - some of the characteristics of
    metals and some of the characteristics of
    nonmetals

7
Sections of The Periodic Table
  • Representative Elements - Groups 1 2 and
  • the elements in Groups 13 - 18.
  • Transition Elements - Groups 3 - 12

8
Representative Elements
  • The Alkali Metals - Group 1 - most reactive
    elements
  • Alkaline Earth Metals - Group 2 - less reactive
    than Group 1
  • Groups 13 - 18 - Contains metals, nonmetals, and
    metalloids

9
Transition Elements
  • All Metals
  • Groups 2 - 12
  • Uses of the some of the transition elements
  • iron, cobalt, and nickel - magnetic properties
  • silver - photography
  • copper - plumbing pipes
  • silver and gold - jewelry
  • chromium - used to make brightly colored paints
  • californium - used to kill cancer cells
  • americium - used in home smoke detectors

Comprehension Questions
  • 1. How did Mendeleev organize the elements
  • in his periodic table?
  • 2. What are the two sections of the Periodic
    Table?
  • 3. What does each square of the elements on the
  • Periodic Table include?
  • 4. What is one characteristic of metals? of
  • nonmetals? of metalloids?
  • 5. The Representative Elements consists of which
  • groups?
  • 6. The Transition Elements consists of which
  • groups?
