Formation of the Periodic Table of Elements
2
During the nineteenth century, chemists
began to categorize the elements
according to similarities in their physical
and chemical properties. The end result
of these studies was our modern
periodic table. 3
John Newlands
In 1863, he suggested that elements be
arranged in octaves because he
noticed (after arranging the elements in
order of increasing atomic mass) that
certain properties repeated every 8th
element. Law of Octaves

Dmitri Mendeleyev
Father of the Periodic Table
Dmitri Mendeleyev (1834-
1907), a Russian chemist,
created the 1st published
periodic table in 1869.

Predictive Value
Mendeleyev was so exact with his organization of
the elements that his table demonstrated
predictive value.
Using his periodic table, Mendeleyev was able to
corrected the atomic masses of Be, In, and U and
accurately predict the discovery of Sc, Ga, and Ge.

Groups and Periods
Groups
vertical columns containing elements
with similar properties.
Groups are also called families
due to their similar physical and
chemical properties.
For this course, the groups are numbered
1-18 with Group 1 being on the far left
and Group 18 being on the far right of
the periodic table.
Periods
horizontal rows in order of atomic
number; each period represents a
finite grouping of elements
Currently, there are 7 periods

Location of Metals, Non-metals, and Metalloids
12
3 Types of Elements
Metals
good conductors of heat (thermal energy) METALLOID LINE
Good conductors of electricity
Malleability hammered or rolled,
bendable
Ductile can be pulled into wire
Reactive
Luster shiny when polished
Nonmetals
Brittle not malleable or ductile
Poor conductor of electricity
Dull
Poor thermal conductor
Metalloids
Metalloid line (Zigzag Line)
Solid at room temperature
brittle solids
Have properties of metals and nonmetals
semiconductors of electricity
Conduct heat under some conditions 13
