History of the Periodic Table

Early tables arranged elements by atomic weight, but this didn't always match properties.
In 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev rearranged elements so that similar properties were in the same group.
Mendeleev left gaps for undiscovered elements and predicted their properties.
When new elements were found, they matched Mendeleev's predictions.

Modern Periodic Table

Elements are arranged by increasing atomic number (number of protons).
Each element has a chemical symbol (e.g., Na for sodium).
The atomic number is written above the symbol.

Groups and Periods

Columns are called groups; elements in the same group have similar properties.
Group 1 elements are alkali metals; they react vigorously with water.
Rows are called periods.
Metals are on the left of the bold line; non-metals on the right.

Metals and Non-Metals

Aluminium (Al) is a metal (left of bold line).
Carbon (C) is a non-metal (right of bold line).
Metals are good conductors of electricity; non-metals are poor conductors.

Advantages of Grouping

Similar properties in a group make it easy to predict properties of unknown elements.
For example, all alkali metals react similarly with water.

## The Periodic Table - **History**: Early tables arranged by atomic weight had problems. In 1869, **Dmitri Mendeleev** grouped elements by similar properties, leaving gaps for undiscovered elements. This created a repeating (periodic) pattern. - **Modern table**: Elements are arranged by **increasing atomic number** (number of protons). Each element has a **chemical symbol** (e.g., H for hydrogen) with atomic number above it. - **Groups**: Columns. Elements in the same group have **similar properties**. Example: Group 1 metals (alkali metals) react vigorously with water. - **Periods**: Rows. Metals are to the left of the bold line, non-metals to the right. E.g., aluminium (Al, atomic number 13) is a metal. - **Advantage**: Grouping similar properties allows **prediction** of an element's behaviour. **Key facts**: - Atomic number = number of protons. - Chemical symbol: one or two letters (first capital, second lowercase). - Metals: left of bold line; non-metals: right. - Group 1 metals = alkali metals. **Example questions**: - Q1a: False (elements in same period do not have same properties). - Q1b: False (ordered by atomic number, not atomic mass). - Q2: Iron (Fe) atomic number 26, metal; Carbon (C) atomic number 6, non-metal; Helium (He) atomic number 2, non-metal; Copper (Cu) atomic number 29, metal; Sodium (Na) atomic number 11, metal; Gold (Au) atomic number 79, metal; Oxygen (O) atomic number 8, non-metal; Silver (Ag) atomic number 47, metal. - Q3: Advantageous because it makes it easy to predict properties of elements. - Q4: Aluminium (Al) is a metal (left of bold line), so it conducts electricity; silicon (Si) is a non-metal (right of bold line), so it does not conduct well. Thus aluminium makes a better electrical wire.

Periodic table: A table of elements arranged by increasing atomic number, with elements in groups (columns) having similar properties.
Atomic number: The number of protons in an atom of an element.
Group: A column in the periodic table containing elements with similar properties.
Period: A row in the periodic table.
Chemical symbol: A one- or two-letter abbreviation for an element (first letter capital, second lowercase).
Alkali metals: The metals in group 1 of the periodic table, which react vigorously with water.
Metal: An element found to the left of the bold line in the periodic table.
Non-metal: An element found to the right of the bold line in the periodic table.
