4.4 – The Periodic Table

Background

Different scientists organized the elements differently—this lead to confusion

In 1869, Dimitri Mendeleev designed a periodic table based on ______.

This way showed ______in properties that repeated across rows and similarities down columns

He couldn’t find elements to fit all the property trends, so he left holes

The holes he left were later filled in as more elements were discovered

The modern periodic table is arranged by ______rather than atomic mass

This caused a few “switches” in placement, but overall is very similar to Mendeleev’s

  • Henry Mosley is given credit for the modern periodic table.
  • Modern Periodic Law: ______

Organization

Rows (going horizontal, across the periodic table) are called “______”

Columns (going vertical, down the periodic table) are called “______” or “______”

______Whole number – this is how the elements are ordered (equal to the number of protons)

______1st letter is ALWAYS capital, if there is a second letter it is ALWAYS lowercase

______usually with decimals; gives the mass, in grams, for 1 mole of atoms. THIS IS NOT THE MASS NUMBER!

Color in the :

Metals (blue)

Metalloids or semi-metals (green)

Nonmetals(yellow)

Most periodic tables are written with 2 rows at the bottom.

This is done to allow the font to be bigger on a piece of paper but they really belong in between groups 2 and 3!

Line Spectrum is when ______atoms emit light of only certain ______. Each element has its own line spectrum.

How can a line spectrum be explained?

Energy packets called ______or quanta come in contact with an atom and collide with an electron

EXCITATION: this is the process of an electron ______a photon of light and being promoted to a higher energy level from its ______state

The electron cannot remain in the excited state indefinitely SO

RELAXATION: the process of an electron ______the photon of light it absorbed and falling back down to a lower energy level.

The higher the Energy of a photon, the greater the jump. For example, a photon of ______light would have more energy than infared light so there would be a higher jump. See diagram below.

The TOTAL ENERGY IN = TOTAL ENERGY OUT

If an atom absorbs a large photon of energy that moves it up 2 energy levels, it will release the exact same amount of energy but it can be released in smaller packets moving the electron back down in ______manner.

The energy of the photon must ______match the energy change of an electron. If it does not match, the energy passes through the electron with no change.

Hydrogen Line Spectrum: The colored lines are the wavelengths of light that were emitted when the electron’s moved from a higher to a lower energy level. The blue line is a result of the electron moving from the 4th to the 2nd energy level.

Bohr’s study of light gave him the proof that atoms had fixed energy levels.

Flame Tests

______can be identified by the wavelength of light they emit. When metals absorb energy from a flame, the ______absorb energy and are raised to higher energy level. When they return to their______, they release the energy they absorbed in the form of radiation. The wavelength of light for some metals fall in the ______light portion of the spectrum. This allows us to see their color.

Ways of producing Light

  • Fluorescence: visible light is absorbed and visible light is emitted at the same time—the relaxation happens very quickly after excitation
  • Phosphorescence: Visible light is absorbed and then a while later is emitted—relaxation occurs after a period of time
  • Incandescence: Energy is put in from heat and given off as visible light
  • Chemiluminescence: Energy released during a chemical reaction is absorbed to cause excitation. Relaxation produces visible light
  • Biolouminescence: Chemiluminescence that occurs in a biological organism.
  • Triboluminescence: Physical pressure or torque provides energy for excitation. Relaxation produces visible light.
