  • Mendeleev's Periodic Table of the Elements the Periodic Table Is Thus
    An Introduction to General / Inorganic Chemistry Mendeleev’s Periodic Table of the Elements Dmitri Mendeleev born 1834 in the Soviet Union. In 1869 he organised the 63 known elements into a periodic table based on atomic masses. He predicted the existence and properties of unknown elements and pointed out accepted atomic weights that were in error. The periodic table is thus an arrangement of the elements in order of increasing atomic number. Elements are arranged in rows called periods. Elements with similar properties are placed in the same column. These columns are called groups. An Introduction to General / Inorganic Chemistry The modern day periodic table can be further divided into blocks. http://www.chemsoc.org/viselements/pages/periodic_table.html The s, p, d and f blocks This course only deals with the s and p blocks. The s block is concerned only with the filling of s orbitals and contains groups I and II which have recently been named 1 and 2. The p block is concerned only with the filling of p orbitals and contains groups III to VIII which have recently been named 13 to 18. An Introduction to General / Inorganic Chemistry Groups exist because the electronic configurations of the elements within each group are the same. Group Valence Electronic configuration 1 s1 2 s2 13 s2p1 14 s2p2 15 s2p3 16 s2p4 17 s2p5 18 s2p6 The type of chemistry exhibited by an element is reliant on the number of valence electrons, thus the chemistry displayed by elements within a given group is similar. Physical properties Elemental physical properties can also be related to electronic configuration as illustrated in the following four examples: An Introduction to General / Inorganic Chemistry 1.

  • A Deductive Approach to Biogenesis! Rob Hengeveld* Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Rob Hengeveld* Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Abstract This article reviews the main arguments on the nature of the early startup of life. It first puts the biogenetical processes into a physical and systems-theoretical perspective. Biogenesis in this case would not be about the construction of individual molecules according to a chemical approach, but about building up an energetically self- sustaining, dynamically organized chemical system from scratch. Initially, this system would have separated out from generally operating physicochemical processes, gradually becoming more independent of them. As a system, it had to build up its structure stepwise, each stage being more complex and stable than the previous one, without, however, changing its basic structure too much; as long as the structure of a system stays intact, it still operates in the same way even if chemical constituents change. This property of a system became especially useful when the systems, which had already evolved and operated for some 1.3 billion years, had to adapt to new environmental conditions at the time of the Great Oxygen Event, the GOE, and some 2.5 billion years ago. As energy processing systems, their constituent molecules carry the energy and can as such be replaced by other, more efficient ones as soon as the system require, or as soon as external chemical conditions change.

  • Causal Explanation and the Periodic Table
    Synthese https://doi.org/10.1007/s11229-018-01982-0 Causal explanation and the periodic table Lauren N. Ross1 Received: 3 December 2017 / Accepted: 8 October 2018 © Springer Nature B.V. 2018 Abstract The periodic table represents and organizes all known chemical elements on the basis of their properties. While the importance of this table in chemistry is uncontroversial, the role that it plays in scientific reasoning remains heavily disputed. Many philosophers deny the explanatory role of the table and insist that it is “merely” classificatory (Shapere, in F. Suppe (Ed.) The structure of scientific theories, University of Illinois Press, Illinois, 1977; Scerri in Erkenntnis 47:229–243, 1997). In particular, it has been claimed that the table does not figure in causal explanation because it “does not reveal causal structure” (Woody in Science after the practice turn in the philosophy, history, and social studies of science, Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, New York, 2014). This paper provides an analysis of what it means to say that a scientific figure reveals causal structure and it argues that the modern periodic table does just this. It also clarifies why these “merely” classificatory claims have seemed so compelling–this is because these claims often focus on the earliest periodic tables, which lack the causal structure present in modern versions. Keywords Causation · Explanation · Philosophy of chemistry · Classification · Causal reasoning 1 Introduction To the extent that there is a trademark figure for the field of chemistry it is surely the periodic table. Considered by many to capture the “essence” of this scientific domain, the periodic table represents and organizes all known chemical elements on the basis of their properties (Scerri 2007, p.

  • The Study of Matter, Its Composition and Properties, and the Changes It Undergoes
    1-1 SECTION 1 BASIC DEFINITIONS AND VOCABULARY ON STRUCTURE OF MATTER This section introduces terms and definitions which make up the vocabulary of the language of chemistry. Starting with atoms it progresses to elements, molecules and compounds. It shows how a substance can be simply represented by a chemical formula made up of both letters and numbers. Many of the terms may be familiar to the layperson, but not necessarily their precise definitions in the context of chemistry. Chemistry: The study of matter, its composition and properties, and the changes it undergoes. Matter: Anything that has rest mass. To develop this topic we need to define the atom, the basic unit of common matter. Atom: A neutral particle consisting of a nucleus containing most of its mass, and electrons occupying most of its volume. Electron: A subatomic particle with a charge of -1. Nucleus: Consists of two types of subatomic particles; protons, each with an electric charge of +1, and neutrons which have no charge. Atomic number: Symbol Z, the number of protons in the atom. Mass number: Symbol A, the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the atom. (Nucleon is a term for either a proton or neutron. Thus A is the number of nucleons in an atom and the number of neutrons is A-Z.) Element: A substance composed of atoms all of which have the same atomic number, i.e. the same number of protons in the nucleus, and thus the same number of electrons. The atomic number defines the element. Each element has a name (of varying historic origin) and a shorthand symbol.
