History & Trends of the Periodic Table
Year of Discovery

The first person to discover an element using scientific inquiry was Hennig
Brand, a German scientist who discovered phosphorus (P) in 1649.
Brand was an alchemist attempting to obtain gold by
distilling his urine. Eventually, the distillate began to glow.
Phosphorus means "light bearing"
In 1789, a French scientist, Antoine Lavoisier defined what was meant by a
chemical element and drew a table that contained 33 known elements
Elementary Treatise on Chemistry
The book is considered to be the
first modern chemical textbook.
Element Grouping
Johann Dobereiner – Noticed several “triads” of similar
behaving elements (1829)
His practice of grouping elements led to the concept of
periodicity (The repeating of chemical properties on a
sequential basis)
Element Organization
John Newlands – Noticed periodicity based
on mass & chemical properties.
• In 1864, he classified the 62 known elements in 7 groups.
• Law of Octaves – every 8th (known) element was similar.
• He was ridiculed for comparing to the musical scale.
• His contribution wasn’t recognized till years later.
Element Organization
Dmitri Mendeleev (1869) “Father of the periodic table”
• Also arranged elements by mass and property, but included
empty space for irregular jumps in mass.

• These accounted for many
undiscovered elements predicted
later including Ge, Ga, & Sc
• Made the PT well known.

Modern Periodic Law
Problems arose as new elements were discovered and didn’t
always fit nicely when ordered by mass.

Henry Moseley (Rutherford’s assistant)
• Discovered a method for counting protons using x-rays
• Found that if elements were organized by atomic
number, and not mass, the problems disappeared. (1912)
Periodic law – Properties vary with their atomic numbers
in a periodic way. (Current basis of P.T. organization)
Periodic
Elements
Atomic Number - Number of protons
• Basis of Periodic Table organization.
• Distinguishing attribute of each element (always an
integer)
• Name - full name of element
• Symbol - 1,2, or 3 letter representative symbol
• Atomic Mass - weighted average mass of relative isotopes
• Atomic mass units (amu) or grams/mole
Groups (families) - Vertical columns
• Share chemical traits (properties)
• IUPAC - numbered groups 1 - 18
• NACPT notation - 1A - 8A / 1B - 8B
Periods (series) - Horizontal rows
• Indicates highest energy electron level n (1-7)
Other Divisions:
– Representative elements - (1A - 8A) (s and p block)
• Consistently "periodic" based on valence electrons
– Transition metals - (1B - 8B) (d and f block)
• Many exceptions exist for electron configurations
• Characteristics are less periodic
• f-block (inner-transition metals) (Lanthanide and
Actinide series)
IUPAC: 1-18
NACPT: 1A-8A
1B-3B
Classification of the Elements
*Noble gases are part of the
Representative elements
Valence electrons are the outer shell electrons. The
valence electrons are the electrons that take part in
chemical bonding.

Metals (~75% of elements)
• Left and middle of periodic table
• Lustrous (shiny)
• Ductile
• Malleable
King of Random: The Metal Melter
www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCrqLlz8Ee0
• High melting points (~950 – 3,700 °C)
• Good conductors of heat and electricity
Nonmetals (~18% of elements)
• Top Right corner of periodic table + Hydrogen
• Typically gaseous or soft, brittle solids
• Exceptions: Bromine(l) and Cdiamond (s)
• Low melting temps (if solid)
• Poor electrical conductors (Carbon is a thermal conductor)
• Combine with other non-metals to form molecules.
• Combine with metals to form Ionic compounds
Discovery of the 6 Noble Gases (1898 – 1900)
• Difficult to detect due to inert nature
• Ramsay reacted N2(g) with Mg(s) to form Mg3N2(s) along with
a volume of unknown gas that would not react.
• Using a discharge tube, they noted the
atomic line emission spectrum was unique.
• It was called Argon “the lazy one”
Sir William Ramsay
Metalloids (~7% of elements)
• Adjacent the Stair-step line that separates metals
from non-metals
• Have shared properties of both metals and non
metals
• Metallic luster
• Brittle or crumbly
• Fair conductors
Radioactive Elements
All elements after #83, starting
with Polonium, are radioactive
(element breaks down rapidly)
Trans-Uranium Elements
– Only elements up to atomic 92 (Uranium) have been
found naturally occurring (trace amounts of Pu & Np)
– Nuclear reactions have produced the remaining
elements synthetically

Effective nuclear charge (Zeff) is the attractive force
from the nucleus felt by an electron with all forces
taken into account.
Shielding effect: Repulsive forces from other electrons that
lessen the net force felt from the positive nucleus
Harder to remove, b/c no shielding
effects (e-/e- repulsions)

Ionization energy is the minimum energy (kJ/mol) required to
remove an electron from a gaseous atom in its ground state. (Cation

Higher energy levels electrons can more readily leave
(further from nucleus, more core electrons shielding ~ lower Zeff)

Periodic trend summary
• Effective Nuclear charge – nuclear pull “felt” by electrons
• Atomic radii - Distance between nucleus and outer e-
• Ionic radii - same as atomic radii, but distance for
each atom's common ion
• Ionization energy - energy for atom to lose an electron (lower
means more likely to lose an electron)
• Electron affinity - energy released when an atom gains an
electron (higher means more likely to gain electron)
• Electronegativity - measure of each atom's attraction towards
bonding electrons in a molecule
