    6.1 History of The Periodic Table-Lesson Review Questions

    Uploaded by

    Maxwell Mensah-Opoku
    This document provides a lesson review with questions about the history and development of the periodic table. It discusses how Dobereiner's triads, Mendeleev's periodic table with empty spaces, and the discoveries of gallium and the atomic nucleus contributed to establishing patterns in elements and the modern periodic table organized by atomic number. Example questions identify physical properties of metals vs nonmetals, calculate average atomic masses, group similar elements, and name elements based on their position on the periodic table.

    1 History of the Periodic Table

    Lesson Review Questions Key

    Reviewing Concepts

    1. Compare Dobereiner’s triads to the modern periodic table. What aspects of his idea agreed with the
    modern table and what aspects did not?
    Dobereiner’s triads were elements that have similar chemical properties, which is how the
    groups of the modern periodic table are arranged. The incorrect aspect is that groups on the
    periodic table have more than three elements.

    2. Why did Mendeleev leave empty spaces in his periodic table?


    Mendeleev left empty spaces for elements that had not yet been discovered.

    3. Explain the significance of the discovery of gallium to Mendeleev’s periodic table.


    Gallium fit into one of the empty spaces that Mendeleev had left in his periodic table. Its
    properties were very similar to what he had predicted, which encouraged scientists to accept
    Mendeleev’s table.

    4. What discovery occurred after Mendeleev’s periodic table was published that allowed Moseley to
    improve it?
    The atomic nucleus was discovered by Rutherford many years after Mendeleev’s periodic table
    was published.
    Further experiments led to the determination of the number of protons in the nuclei of atoms,
    which in turn led to each element being assigned an atomic number. Moseley’s improvement to
    the periodic table was to arrange the elements in order of increasing atomic number instead of
    mass.

    5. Identify each physical property as more characteristic of a metal or of a nonmetal.


    a. luster- metal

    b. malleability- metal

    c. brittle texture- nonmetal

    d. low melting point- nonmetal

    e. good conductor of electric current- metal

    Problems

    6. Use the Figure 6.1 to answer the following.


    a. How many elements were known by 1700? 15
    b. How many elements were discovered between 1735 and 1843? 41
    7. The atomic mass of beryllium (Be) is 9.01 amu. The atomic mass of calcium (Ca), which is in the
    same group as beryllium, is 40.08 amu. Based only on this information, what would you predict to be
    the atomic mass of magnesium (Mg), which is also in the same group but is between Be and Ca?
    Calculate the average. 9.01+240.08 = 24.55 amu

    8. Use the periodic table to put the following elements into pairs that would be expected to have
    similar chemical properties: Ba, S, Br, Ca, K, F, Se, Na
    Ba and Ca, S and Se, Br and F, K and Na

    9. Identify each element below as a metal, nonmetal, metalloid.


    a. phosphorus- nonmetal
    b. boron-metalloid
    c. cesium -metal
    d. xenon- nonmetal
    e. bismuth- metal

    10. Write the name and symbol of the element located at each of the following positions on the
    periodic table.

    a. period 2 and group 16- oxygen, O


    b. period 5 and group 9- rhodium, Rh

    c. period 4 and group 5A - arsenic, As

    d. period 6 and group 12- mercury, Hg
