Periodic properties of elements

Arrangement of the Elements

• Chemists had been looking for a method to classify the elements.

• In 1829, the German chemist J.W. Döbereiner observed that several elements could be

classified into groups of three, or triads.

• All three elements in a triad showed very similar chemical properties and an orderly trend in

physical properties.
Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
• Mendeleev proposed that the properties of the chemical elements repeat at
regular intervals when arranged in order of increasing atomic mass.
• Mendeleev is the architect of the modern periodic table.

• He arranged his periodic


table in columns by the
formula of the element’s
oxide.
Prediction of New Elements
• Mendeleev noticed that there appeared to be some elements
missing from the periodic table.
• He was able to accurately predict the properties of the unknown
element ekasilicon in 1869. It was discovered in 1886 (germanium).
Dmitri Mendeleev

• Dmitri Mendeleev was born in Siberia in 1834

• Was a student and professor at the University of St. Petersburg.

• Predicted the existence of three elements (gallium, scandium, and germanium) before they

were discovered based on periodic trends.

• Narrowly missed being awarded the Nobel Prize in 1906.


The Noble Gases

• The periodic table was expanded by one group at the far right of the periodic table with the

discovery of argon in 1894.

• Helium, neon, krypton, xenon, and radon were subsequently discovered in the next 5 years.

• They were originally called the inert gases.

• Recently, several compounds of xenon and krypton have been made and the term noble

gases is currently used.


The Periodic Law

• The periodic law states that the properties of elements recur in a repeating pattern when
arranged according to increasing atomic number.
Groups & Periods of Elements
• A vertical column on the periodic table is a group or family of elements.
• A horizontal row on the periodic table is a period or series of elements.
• There are 18 groups and 7 periods on the periodic table.
Periods on the Periodic Table

• The 7 periods are labeled 1 through 7.

• The first period has only 2 elements, H and He.

• The second and third periods have 8 elements each:

• Li through Ne and Na through Ar

• The fourth and fifth periods each have 18 elements:

• K through Kr and Rb through Xe


Groups on the Periodic Table
• In 1920, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
(IUPAC) proposed a new numbering scheme. In it, the groups are
assigned numbers 1 through 18.
• Group 1 is Li to Fr – Group 12 is Zn, Cd, Hg
• Group 2 is Be to Ra – Group 15 is N to Bi
International Year of the Periodic Table (2019)

2019 has been designated by UNESCO as the International Year of the Periodic Table

(IYPT), marking the 150th anniversary of the Mendeleev periodic table
