Newlands

  • Called table of Octaves
  • Didn't have spaces for undiscovered elements
  • Wrong atomic masses were calculated
  • Pattern he found was false
  • Some elements were mixed
1 of 6

Mendeleev

  • Saw problems in Newlands periodic table
  • Recalculated atomic mass
  • Placed in order we know today
  • Left spaces for undiscovered elements
2 of 6

Modern periodic table

  • More information about protons, neutrons and electrons
  • Placed in order of atomtic number (proton number)
3 of 6

Group 1 (alkali metals)

  • Reactivity increases as you go down the group
  • REASON: atom size increases, forces of attraction weaker as electron further from positive nucleus, easier to take electron
  • Melting-point and boiling-point decrease down the group
  • REASON: less energy is needed to break larger atoms due to weaker forces of attraction
4 of 6

Group 7 (halogens)

  • Exsist as diatomic molecules
  • Reactivity decreases as you go down the group
  • REASON: atoms increase in size, force pulling in electrons becomes weaker as its further from nucleus, electrons feel weaker positive force
  • Melting-point and boiling-point increase as you go down the group
  • REASON: diatomic molecule size increases, stronger intermolecular forces, more heat needed to break them
5 of 6

Transition metals

  • Most do not react vigirously with water and oxygen (Iron does)
  • High melting-point and high density (except Mercury)
  • Strong and hard
  • No set pattern, form different ions
  • Form coloured compounds
  • Useful catalysts
