Scientists 1 Atoinne Lavoiser (1743 1794)

Discoveries
-In 1789, first Chemist try to classify the substance, include the light & heat into metals & non-metals. -Unsuccessful bcoz light, heat & a few other compounds were also considered as elements -In1829,he divided the elements into the groups of 3 elements with similar chemical properties -Known as Dobereiners Traid -The atomic mass of the middle element was approximately the average atomic mass of the other 2 elements in each traid. -Traid system was confined to some elements only. -Led chemists to realise that there was a relationship between the chemical properties & the atomic mass of each element.

2 Johann W Dobereiner (1780 1849)

3 John Newlands -From 1864 1865, he arranged the elements in order of increasing ( 1837-1898)
atomic mass. -Elements with similar properties recurred at every 8 element.

-known as the Law of Octaves. -Failure bcoz the Law of Octaves was obeyed by the 17 first elements only. -Shows the existence of a periodic pattern for the properties of elements.

4 Lothar Meyer (1830-1895)

-In 1870 , he plotted graph of the atomic volume against the atomic mass. -Realised that elements with similar chemical properties occupied equivalent positions on the curve. -He found that the properties of the elements formed a periodic pattern against their atomic masses.

5 Dmitri Mendeleev (1834-1907)

-In 1869, he arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic mass & grouped them according to similar chemical properties in vertical coloum. -He left gaps (empty spaces) in the table to be filled by undiscovered elements.

-He was able to predict the properties of undiscovered elements.

6 Hendry J.G. -In 1914,he studied the X-ray spectrum of elements. Moseley (1887- -From experiment, he concluded that proton number should be the 1915)
basic for the periodic change of chemical properties instead of the atomic mass. -He arranges the elements in order of increasing proton number in the Periodic Table. Thus, he confirmed the works / Mendeleev. -The modern Periodic Table based on the foundation of Henry J.G Moseley.

1) Arranged according to ascending proton number of the element. 2) 1-18 called Group. 1-7 called periods

Group
1) Group arranged according to the number of valence electron in the outermost shells. 2) All elements in a group a) Have the same valence electrons b) Have the same chemical properties c) Physical properties will change as we go down the group. 3) Groups have special names. Group 1 2 17 18 3-12

Name Alkali metals Alkaline earth metals Halogens Inert (noble) gases Transition metals

4) Group 1,2,13 & transition elements are metals. Group 15-18 are non-metals. Group 14 has 2 non-metals ( carbon& silicon)

Period
1) Period arranged according to the number of shells occupied with electron in an atom. 2) Elements in period 1 7 Period Period 1 Period 2 & 3 Period 4 & 5 Period 6 Period 7 Number of elements 2 elements 8 elements 18 elements 32 elements 23 lements

Electrons Arrangement
1) Number of filled electron shells increases, as we go down the group. 2) By knowing the proton number of the element, we can determine the group & period its placed in. 3) Relationship between number of valence electrons with the group number of an element. No.of valence electrons 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (second 8. First 8 is in
transition elements except helium)

Group 1 2 3 14 15 16 17 18 9) Number of electrons = number of protons 10) The number of shells = period 11) Valence electron = group

12) Maximum number of electron which occupy each shell Shell number 1 2 3 4 Exp:
Electron

Maximum number of electrons 2 8 8/18 46

Shell

Valence electron 4 so it is placed in group 14

Electron arrangement =2.4

First shell has 2 electrons & second shell has 4 electrons. So it has 2 shells & it is in period 2.

Group 18
- Helium(He),Neon(Ne),Argon(Ar),Krypton(Kr),Xenon(Xe) & Radon(Rn) - Noble/inert gases that exists in monoatomic gases.

Physical properties
1) Cant dissolve in water , cant conduct electricity & heat 2) Low densities 3) Colorless gaseous state at room temperature & pressure 4) Melting & boiling point is low.

5) Changes of physical properties when going down group 18: Properties Atomic size Changes Explanation increases Bcoz the number of occupied shells increases.

Melting & increase Bcoz boiling point 1)the atomic size increaseswhen going down the group 2)The force of attraction between particles become stronger 3)Thus, more heat is needed to overcome the stronger force Density increase because the mass increases

Chemical Properties
1) Unreactive/inert 2) Atoms dont need to donate, accept/share electrons bcoz the electron arrangement of the noble gas atoms are stable.

Uses
Elements Helium Neon Argon Krypton Randon Xenon Uses -Fill air ships/weather balloons -Gas in diving tank -Light up advertising boards/lights -Fill in filament bulbs -Used in flash bulbs & lasers -For cancer treatments -Used in flash bulbs & lasers

Group 1
- Lithium (Li) , Sodium (Na) , Potassium (K) , Rubidium (Rb) , Caesium (Cs) & Francium (Fr) - Known as alkali metals.

Physical properties
1) Conduct heat & electricity 2) High melting point & boiling point 3) All alkali metals are grey in colour with shiny surfaces but they are soft, can cut easily

4) Changes in physical properties going down the group: Properties Changes Explanation Atomic size Increases Because the number of occupied shells increases Melting & Decreases Because boiling point 1)The atomic size increases when going down the group. 2)The metal bond between atoms become weaker 3)Thus,less heat is needed to overcome the weaker bond. Density increases Because increase in atomic size so it became heavier.

Chemical Properties
1) Very reactive elements. 2) The reactivity increases when going down the group. The valence electron in the outermost shell become further from the nucleus. The forces of attraction of nucleus on the valence electron become weaker. The valence electron becomes easier to release.

Chemical properties Reacts with water to produce alkaline metal, hydroxide solutions & hydrogen gas Burns in oxygen gas to produce white, solid metal oxides Burns in chlorine gas to form white solid, metal chloride. X= metals in group 1 (Li,Na,K,Rb,Cs,Fr)

Group 17
1) Fluorine (F) , Chlorine (Cl) , Bromine (Br) , Iodine (I) & Astatine (At) 2) Known as halogens 3) Exists in Diatomic molecules, which F2,Cl2,Br2,I2,At2 4) Non-metals

Physical properties
1) Doesnt conduct heat & electricity bcoz they consist of covalent molecules. 2) Low melting point & boiling point bcoz their molecules r attracted to each other by intermolecular force.

Force of attraction & intermolecular force are the same. Means the forces between 2 molecules

3) Changes of properties when going down the group 17. Properties Changes Atomic size Increases Melting & boiling Increases point Explanation Because the number of shells increases Because 1)The atomic size increases when going down the group. 2)The force of attraction between particles become stronger. 3)Thus,more heat is needed to overcome the stronger force. Flourine = pale yellow gas Chlorine = Greenish-yellow gas Bromine = Reddish-brown liquid Iodine = purplish-black solid Because increase in atomic size so it became heavier. change from a gas (fluorine & chlorine) to liquid (bromine) to solid (iodine & astatine)

Chemical Properties
