The Dynamic Periodic Table of
Elements
Lesson The Dynamic Periodic Table of
Name:
1 Elements
Overview
The periodic table is a way of organizing all the known elements in the universe. With our knowledge of
the atomic structure of an element in the universe. With our knowledge of the atomic structure of an element,
we can use the periodic table to further understand and predict the chemical behavior of an element. Our
increasing knowledge on the elements can have various technological application this module will help you
learn about the history, development, structure, and correct use of the periodic table of elements.
Learning Objectives
After going through this module, I can:

1. describe how elements are arranged in groups and periods using their electron
configuration.
Activating Prior Knowledge
Task 1: word storm!!

Look at the groups of letters. These are actually broken pieces of word that you will encounter in this lesson.
Find the pieces that fit together. Write your answer on a separate sheets of paper.

Lesson
History of Periodic Table
THE ELEMENTS
An element is a substance that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance.

Question?
But where did the idea of these “elements” first come from?
THE ANCIENT GREEKS
In particular Empedocles 490 – 435 BCE, had the idea that there were four basic building blocks
(elements) from which everything was made: earth, fire, water and air.
DAVY’S ELEMENTAL DISCOVERIES
NAMING THE ELEMENTS
After a planet ….mercury, uranium

European mythological figures….Titanium after the Titans
After its colour…. Gold
After a physical property… Bromine= bad smell
After a country…. francium = France
After yourself….?
After a scientist… Es = Einsteinium
Titanium was discovered in England by William Gregor in 1791 and named by Martin Heinrich Klaproth for the
Titans of Greek mythology In Greek mythology, the Titans (Greek: Τῑτάν Tītā́ n; plural: Τῑτᾶνες Tītânes) were a
race of powerful deities that ruled during the legendary Golden Age. Their role as Elder Gods that were
overthrown by a present race of younger gods, the Olympians, was a Greek borrowing from the Ancient Near
East.
THE PERIODIC TABLE

Arrangement of the elements
• All of the known elements of today are arranged on the Periodic Table of Elements
Pictorial view of the Modern Periodic Table

Newlands Octaves
The problem is that after Calcium the pattern starts to break down.
o Although Newland had the right idea, some of the elements hadn’t been discovered yet and this
caused elements to be forced into the wrong group!
 Mendeleev created the first periodic table by grouping together elements in a certain
way.
DMITRI MENDELEEV
1869 – He drew up the first periodic table of the known

elements of his time by arranging the elements in order of
increasing atomic weight.
He noticed repeating patterns which lead him to make very
accurate predictions about undiscovered elements.
Medeleev’s Periodic Table
THE DIFFERENCES IN MENDELEEV’S TABLE AND THE MODERN PERIODIC TABLE
1. Mendeleev’s table was arranged in order of increasing atomic mass. Modern table is arranged in
order of increasing atomic number.
2. In Mendeleev’s table the noble gases are not included in the modern Table they are.
3. There are gaps in Medeleev’s table but there are none in the modern periodic table as they have
been discovered..
