Periodic Table Key Concepts Periodic Table Key Concepts Periodic Table Basics The periodic table is a table of all the elements which make up matter Elements initially grouped in a table by Dmitri Mendeleev Symbols – each element has a symbol which is either a Capital Letter or a Capital Letter followed by a lower case letter Atomic Number – the number above an element’s symbol which shows the number of protons Atomic Mass – the number found below an elements symbol which shows the mass of the element. Mass = the number of protons + the number of neutrons Metals – the elements which have the properties of malleability, luster, and conductivity o These elements are good conductors of electricity & heat. o Found to the left of the zig-zag line on the periodic table Nonmetals – do not have the properties of metals. Found to the right of the zig-zag line Metalloids – elements found along the zig-zag line of the periodic table and have some properties of metals and nonmetals (B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, and Po) Groups The columns going up and down (There are 18 groups) Group 1: Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, and Francium Elements arranged so that elements with similar properties would be in the same group. o Group 1 Alkali Metals - highly reactive metals o Group 2 Alkali Earth Metals – reactive metals o Group 3-12 Transition Metals o Group 17 Halogens – highly reactive non-metals o Group 18 Noble Gases - do not react or combine with any other elements. Elements are grouped according to their properties or reactivity Reactivity is determined by the number of electrons in an element’s outer energy level These electrons are called valence electrons Periods The rows that run from left to right on the periodic table (There are 7 periods) Period 1 contains 2 elements, Hydrogen and Helium. Period 2 contains 8 elements: Lithium, Beryllium, Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Neon The different periods represent different electron energy levels. o Elements in period 1 have electrons in just one energy level. o Elements in period 2 have electrons within two different energy levels. Periodic Trends Metallic properties – the properties that define a metal tend to increase going to the left and down on the periodic table (malleability, luster, and conductivity) Atomic mass – increases going to the right and down on the periodic table Atomic radius – increases going down on the periodic table Periodic Table Key Concepts .

  • The Periodic Electronegativity Table
    The Periodic Electronegativity Table Jan C. A. Boeyens Unit for Advanced Study, University of Pretoria, South Africa Reprint requests to J. C. A. Boeyens. E-mail: [email protected] Z. Naturforsch. 2008, 63b, 199 – 209; received October 16, 2007 The origins and development of the electronegativity concept as an empirical construct are briefly examined, emphasizing the confusion that exists over the appropriate units in which to express this quantity. It is shown how to relate the most reliable of the empirical scales to the theoretical definition of electronegativity in terms of the quantum potential and ionization radius of the atomic valence state. The theory reflects not only the periodicity of the empirical scales, but also accounts for the related thermochemical data and serves as a basis for the calculation of interatomic interaction within molecules. The intuitive theory that relates electronegativity to the average of ionization energy and electron affinity is elucidated for the first time and used to estimate the electron affinities of those elements for which no experimental measurement is possible. Key words: Valence State, Quantum Potential, Ionization Radius Introduction electronegative elements used to be distinguished tra- ditionally [1].

  • An Alternate Graphical Representation of Periodic Table of Chemical Elements Mohd Abubakr1, Microsoft India (R&D) Pvt
    An Alternate Graphical Representation of Periodic table of Chemical Elements Mohd Abubakr1, Microsoft India (R&D) Pvt. Ltd, Hyderabad, India. [email protected] Abstract Periodic table of chemical elements symbolizes an elegant graphical representation of symmetry at atomic level and provides an overview on arrangement of electrons. It started merely as tabular representation of chemical elements, later got strengthened with quantum mechanical description of atomic structure and recent studies have revealed that periodic table can be formulated using SO(4,2) SU(2) group. IUPAC, the governing body in Chemistry, doesn‟t approve any periodic table as a standard periodic table. The only specific recommendation provided by IUPAC is that the periodic table should follow the 1 to 18 group numbering. In this technical paper, we describe a new graphical representation of periodic table, referred as „Circular form of Periodic table‟. The advantages of circular form of periodic table over other representations are discussed along with a brief discussion on history of periodic tables. 1. Introduction The profoundness of inherent symmetry in nature can be seen at different depths of atomic scales. Periodic table symbolizes one such elegant symmetry existing within the atomic structure of chemical elements. This so called „symmetry‟ within the atomic structures has been widely studied from different prospects and over the last hundreds years more than 700 different graphical representations of Periodic tables have emerged [1]. Each graphical representation of chemical elements attempted to portray certain symmetries in form of columns, rows, spirals, dimensions etc. Out of all the graphical representations, the rectangular form of periodic table (also referred as Long form of periodic table or Modern periodic table) has gained wide acceptance.

  • Suppression Mechanisms of Alkali Metal Compounds
    SUPPRESSION MECHANISMS OF ALKALI METAL COMPOUNDS Bradley A. Williams and James W. Fleming Chemistry Division, Code 61x5 US Naval Research Lnhoratory Washington, DC 20375-5342, USA INTRODUCTION Alkali metal compounds, particularly those of sodium and potassium, are widely used as fire suppressants. Of particular note is that small NuHCOi particles have been found to be 2-4 times more effective by mass than Halon 1301 in extinguishing both eountertlow flames [ I] and cup- burner flames [?]. Furthermore, studies in our laboratory have found that potassium bicarbonate is some 2.5 times more efficient by weight at suppression than sodium bicarhonatc. The primary limitation associated with the use of alkali metal compounds is dispersal. since all known compounds have very low volatility and must he delivered to the fire either as powders or in (usually aqueous) solution. Although powders based on alkali metals have been used for many years, their mode of effective- ness has not generally been agreed upon. Thermal effects [3],namely, the vaporization of the particles as well as radiative energy transfer out of the flame. and both homogeneous (gas phase) and heterogeneous (surface) chemistry have been postulated as mechanisms by which alkali metals suppress fires [4]. Complicating these issues is the fact that for powders, particle size and morphology have been found to affect the suppression properties significantly [I]. In addition to sodium and potassium, other alkali metals have been studied, albeit to a consider- ably lesser extent. The general finding is that the suppression effectiveness increases with atomic weight: potassium is more effective than sodium, which is in turn more effective than lithium [4].

All matter is composed of atoms. 2. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed. 3. All the atoms of an element are identical. 4. The atoms of different elements are different. 5. When chemical reactions take place, atoms of different elements join together to form compounds. J.J.Thomson (1856-1940) 1. Proposed the first model of the atom. 2. 1897- Thomson discovered the electron (negatively- charged) – cathode rays 3. Thomson suggested that an atom is a positively- charged sphere with electrons embedded in it.

  • Atomic Spectra of Alkali Elements
    Atomic Spectra of Alkali Elements S. R. Kulkarni April 10, 2020 Rydberg primarily focused on studying the lines of alkali metals (Lithium, Potassium and Sodium).1 Rydberg organized the various features by their appearance on the pho- tographs:The alkali spectra were more complicated than that of hydrogen. Rydberg recog- nized that were three different types of lines: lines which looked \sharp" (on photographic plates), \principal" (strong lines that showed up in emission and absorption) and those which appeared ‘diffuse”. These series were abbreviated to S, P, D. Later \Fundamental" (F) was added. As noted earlier, Rydberg preferred to work with wavenumbers. Using data from Liveing and Deware he recast Angstrom's formula as follows: N k = k − (1) n 1 (n + µ)2 where kn is the wavenumber of the nth line in a given series. Rydberg kept N fixed to the value measured by Balmer with k1 µ being free parameters. Rydberg found the following formulae for Lithium R ks = ks − ; 2; 3; 4; ::: (2) n 1 (n + S)2 R kp = kp − 1; 2; 3; ::: (3) n 1 (n + P )2 R kd = kd − 2; 3; 4; ::: (4) n 1 (n + D)2 s −1 p −1 where S = 0:5951, P = 0:9596, D = 0:9974, k1 = 28601:6 cm k1 = 43487:7 cm , d −1 k1 = 28598:5 cm and we have switched to the modern notation in which N is replaced by R (the value he found was R = 109721:6 cm−1). Rydberg had confidence in the data that he was able to find a deeper connection between the constants between the series.

The detection of formamide in comets, which are believed to have –at least partially– inherited their current chemical composition during the birth of the Solar System, raises the question whether a non-negligible amount of formamide may have been exogenously delivered onto a very young Earth about four billion years ago. A crucial part of the effort to 1 answer this question involves searching for formamide in regions where stars and planets are forming today in our Galaxy, as this can shed light on its formation, survival, and chemical re-processing along the different evolutionary phases leading to a star and planetary system like our own.

(December 2003) Abdulrehman Ahmed Aldeeb, B.S., Jordan University of Science & Technology; M.S., The University of Texas at Arlington Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. M. Sam Mannan Under certain conditions, reactive chemicals may proceed into uncontrolled chemical reaction pathways with rapid and significant increases in temperature, pressure, and/or gas evolution. Reactive chemicals have been involved in many industrial incidents, and have harmed people, property, and the environment. Evaluation of reactive chemical hazards is critical to design and operate safer chemical plant processes. Much effort is needed for experimental techniques, mainly calorimetric analysis, to measure thermal reactivity of chemical systems. Studying all the various reaction pathways experimentally however is very expensive and time consuming. Therefore, it is essential to employ simplified screening tools and other methods to reduce the number of experiments and to identify the most energetic pathways.

  • Helium Adsorption on Lithium Substrates
    JLowTempPhys DOI 10.1007/s10909-007-9516-5 Helium Adsorption on Lithium Substrates E. Van Cleve · P. Taborek · J.E. Rutledge Received: 25 July 2007 / Accepted: 13 September 2007 © Springer Science+Business Media 2007 Abstract We have developed a cryogenic pulsed laser deposition (PLD) system to deposit lithium films onto a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) at 4 K. Adsorption isotherms of 4He on lithium were measured in the temperature range between 1.42 K and 2.5 K. The isotherms are qualitatively different from isotherms on strong sub- strates such as gold and weak substrates such as cesium. There is no evidence of the formation of solid-like layers of helium, and the helium coverage is approximately linear in the pressure over a wide range. By measuring the low coverage slope of the isotherms, the binding energy of helium to lithium was found to be approxi- mately −13.6 K. For lithium substrates less than approximately 100 layers thick, the chemical potential at which the superfluid transition was observed was surprisingly sensitive to the details of lithium deposition. Keywords Helium films · Pulsed laser deposition · Superfluidity · Alkali metal 1 Introduction When helium is adsorbed onto a strong heterogenous substrate such as gold, the first 2 or 3 statistical layers are solid-like. The nature of these layers is not yet clear, but the layers are amorphous and do not participate significantly in superflow at high coverages. Superfluidity on strong substrates requires a minimum critical coverage to saturate the solid-like layers, and the superfluid phase which forms at higher cover- ages flows over these layers and does not interact directly with the strong, short range This work was supported by NSF grant DMR 0509685.
