Term
Johann Dobereiner
Definition
German Chemist. In 1817 discovered Law of Triads
Term
Law of Triads
Definition
Groups of 3 Related Elements have similar properties
Term
John Newlands
Definition
English Chemist. In 1863 discovered the Law of Octaves
Term
Law of Octaves
Definition
The same properties appear every 8th element when elements are listed in order of their atomic masses.
Term
Dmitri Mendeleev
Definition
Russian Chemist. During 1860's developed the 1st periodic table. Suggested periods of varying lengths based on atomic masses. Predicted Properties of yet undiscovered elements (Gallium, Germanium, Scandium)
Term
Mendeleev's Periodic Law
Definition
Properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic masses.
Term
Modern Periodic Law
Definition
Properties of elements are functions of their atomic numbers. (Developed by Henry Moseley)
Term
Henry Moseley
Definition
British Scientist. In 1913 he developed the Modern Periodic Law.
Term
Atomic Number
Definition
The number of protons in an atom. In a neutral atom this refers to the number of electrons.
Term
Groups
Definition
Vertical Columns of elements. AKA Family
Term
Periods
Definition
Horizontal Rows of elements. AKA series
Term
Element Collections
Definition
Alkali Metal, Alkaline Earth Metals, Lanthanoids, Actinoids, Transition Metals, Chalcogens, Halogens, Noble Gases
Term
Octet Rule
Definition
An atom with 8 electrons in its outer shell is particularly stable. (an atom will try to have 8 electrons in its outer shell)
Term
S,P,D,F
Definition
S - Helium and First 2 Columns in Periodic Table
P - Last 6 Columns (minus Helium)
D - Transition Metals (middle area) (n-1 for easy electron configuration)
F - Lower 2 rows. (n-2 for easy electron configuration)
Term
Metals
Definition
Shiny, Malleable, Ductile, Conduct heat & electricity, Have few electrons in outer shell, lose electrons in chemical reactions
Term
Non Metals
Definition
Dull, Brittle, Non-Ductile, Insulator of heat & electricity, Have many electrons in outer shell, gain electrons during chemical reactions
Term
Metalloids
Definition
Elements adjacent to bold diagonal line.
Term
Factors in Ionization Energy
Definition
Greater Nuclear Charge (direct relationship)
Greater Principle Quantum # (Inverse Relationship)
Greater Shielding effect (Inverse Relationship)
Half/Completely filled sublevels (No Relationship)
Term
High Ionization Energy
Definition
Towards upper right corner, half filled or full shells
Term
High Atomic Radius
Definition
Towards bottom left corner, more electrons than protons
Term
Large Ions
Definition
Closer to upper right corner, more electrons gained in reaction
Term
Electronegativity
Definition
Increases from left -> Right. Increases from top -> Bottom. Noble gases have no electronegativity. Fluorine has highest electronegativity. Francium has the lowest.
Term
Boiling point trend
Definition
Higher in middle of table. Lower on the ends
Term
Density Trends
Definition
Higher in the middle of the table. Lower on the edges.
