DMITRI MENDELEEV: THE PERIODIC TABLE - 1060L 2 Threshold 3 is the creation of new chemical elements, largely thanks to stars. These created all the building blocks of which complexity is made on Earth and the wider Universe. Yet the nature of these new chemical elements wasn’t just random. DMITRI MENDELEEV (1834-1907 CE) THE PERIODIC TABLE By David Baker Elements have laws just as fixed as the law of gravity. In the 19th century it was Russian scientist Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834-1907 CE) who unravelled how the building blocks of the Universe behaved and interacted. He predicted the existence of elements and their traits even before they were discovered! And Mendeleev left humanity with a vital piece of knowledge – the periodic table, which still forms the backbone of chemistry today. Since ancient times, we’d known about elements such as gold, silver, tin, copper, lead, and mercury. Then in Hamburg in 1669, Hennig Brand discovered phosphorus. Over the next two centuries, more elements were discovered. Scientists put the elements on a list, ordered by how much each element weighed – their atomic mass. But from the lightest to the heaviest, there was no clear pattern that governed their properties. The light ones were different from each other, and the heavy ones were different from each other. This was a puzzle. In 1817, German chemist Johannes Dobereiner noticed that the elements in that list followed patterns. Elements with similar properties appeared in starts and jumps down the list. Calcium has similar traits to strontium and barium despite their having very different weights. The pattern down MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY BIG HISTORY SCHOOL: CORE - READING 3.1.6. DMITRI MENDELEEV: THE PERIODIC TABLE - 1060L 3 the list was periodic (defined as “appearing or occurring at intervals”). By 1860, about 56 elements had been discovered. In 1862 French geologist, de Chancourtois tried to show the periodic pattern in the atomic list. In 1864 John Newlands an English chemist figured out that similar traits occurred at periodic intervals of eight. But the pattern of similar traits occurring periodically every eight elements was not perfect. It failed the further you went down the old list. Was the periodic similarity of elemental traits in the early part of the periodic table just a coincidence? Enter Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev! He was born to a family in Siberia an academic family that had fallen on hard times. His father, Ivan, was an academic who died when Dimitri was 13. This left Dmitri’s mother, Maria, to support her large number of children. She came from the merchant class and was able to reopen an old glass factory, but it burned down a year later. Dmitri attended school in Siberia and showed a lot of potential. So when Dmitri was 15, his mother saddled up a horse and they rode hundreds and hundreds of kilometres across Siberia and through the Ural Mountains to Moscow where Maria pleaded with the university to let Dmitri study. They However, Lecoq de Boisbaudran measured the density of Gallium rejected him. So Maria and Dmitri rode all the way from Moscow to the to be lighter than Mendeleev had predicted. And so, without even university in St. Petersburg, his father’s old university, where Dmitri was seeing Gallium before, Mendeleev wrote him and told him that his accepted. Maria died shortly after her mission was complete. measurements were incorrect. Lecoq de Boisbaudran measured it again, Dmitri graduated, caught tuberculosis, and had to go to the Crimea to and Mendeleev’s prediction was 100% accurate. Such was the power of recuperate. While Dmitri was there, he gained a Masters degree at a Mendeleev’s periodic table! school in Simferopol. Dmitri returned to St. Petersburg in 1857 to start his Over the next 30 years, Mendeleev’s predictions were proven right again career as a scientist. and again as new elements were discovered. Mendeleev’s periodic table Ten years passed as Dmitri Mendeleev worked as a teacher and researcher. spread across the world and became the standard model for scientists. Mendeleev was familiar with the periodic nature of the traits of elements. Meanwhile, Mendeleev was given many awards and honours for his work. Yet he was distressed by the fact the pattern was imperfect. While He remained at the University of St. Petersburg until 1890 and held a job preparing a new textbook in 1867, Mendeleev concluded that the reason at the Bureau of Weights and Measures from 1893 until his death from why the pattern was not perfect is because there were elements that had illness in 1907. not been discovered yet! He inserted gaps in his periodic table where the By the time of his death, Mendeleev’s periodic table had enabled missing elements would be. He even predicted what the traits of those countless discoveries in chemistry in a magnificent example of collective missing elements would be. learning. And he had so changed the world of chemistry that in 1955 a Mendeleev published and presented his theory on numerous occasions newly discovered radioactive metallic element was named “Mendelevium” over the years, but many of his fellow chemists remained sceptical. Then after him. in 1875 French chemist Paul Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran discovered Gallium – a soft metal that melted at low temperatures – exactly on the periodic table where Mendeleev predicted it would be. And Gallium possessed many of the traits Mendeleev predicted. MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY BIG HISTORY SCHOOL: CORE - READING 3.1.6. DMITRI MENDELEEV: THE PERIODIC TABLE - 1060L 4 REFERNCES Christian, David.

  • Dmitri Mendeleev
    DOWNLOADABLE EXTRAS Atomic Structure: Part 1 1 Dmitri Mendeleev Dmitri Mendeleev was born on the 8th of February 1834 in Siberia, Russia. His father who was a teacher of the arts and politics, died when he was only thirteen. He was one of a large family and is thought to possibly have had 17 brothers and sisters. Due to his father’s death and a failed family business (a glass factory that burnt down) the family were very poor. Despite this, his mother wanted him to be educated at a higher level so she moved the family to St Petersburg in order for Dmitri to attend school. After graduating he became a teacher in the area of science. His passion was chemistry and he studied the capillarity of liquids (ability of a liquid to fl ow in a narrow space without any suction or pumping, like when water moves against gravity up a straw placed in a glass of water), the components of petrol and the spectroscope (a device that uses light to identify unknown materials). Because chemistry at the time was so disorganised, Mendeleev saw a need to establish a set of rules and guidelines that would be universal (able to be used across the world). He started by writing two very successful text books that included all of his chemistry knowledge. However he felt that this wasn’t enough and that the concepts of chemistry were too broad and unlinked. In 1869 he started to write a system that ordered the elements as these were the main concept behind a lot of other chemistry.

  • Periodic Table 1 Periodic Table
    Periodic table 1 Periodic table This article is about the table used in chemistry. For other uses, see Periodic table (disambiguation). The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic numbers (numbers of protons in the nucleus), electron configurations , and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number, which is typically listed with the chemical symbol in each box. The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements laid out in 18 columns and 7 Standard 18-column form of the periodic table. For the color legend, see section Layout, rows, with a double row of elements under the larger table. below that. The table can also be deconstructed into four rectangular blocks: the s-block to the left, the p-block to the right, the d-block in the middle, and the f-block below that. The rows of the table are called periods; the columns are called groups, with some of these having names such as halogens or noble gases. Since, by definition, a periodic table incorporates recurring trends, any such table can be used to derive relationships between the properties of the elements and predict the properties of new, yet to be discovered or synthesized, elements. As a result, a periodic table—whether in the standard form or some other variant—provides a useful framework for analyzing chemical behavior, and such tables are widely used in chemistry and other sciences. Although precursors exist, Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited with the publication, in 1869, of the first widely recognized periodic table.

Explain how the radius of an atom changes upon losing electrons to form a cation or gaining electrons to form an anion. Write the electron configurations of ions. Explain how the ionization energy changes as we remove successive electrons, and the jump in ionization energy that occurs when the ionization corresponds to removing a core electron. Explain how irregularities in the periodic trends for electron affinity can be related to electron configuration. Explain the differences in chemical and physical properties of metals and nonmetals, including the basicity of metal oxides and the acidity of nonmetal oxides. Correlate atomic properties, such as ionization energy, with electron configuration, and explain how these relate to the chemical reactivity and physical properties of the alkali and alkaline earth metals (groups 1A and 2A). Write balanced equations for the reactions of the group 1A and 2A metals with water, oxygen, hydrogen, and the halogens. List and explain the unique characteristics of hydrogen.

  • 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 Brief History of the Development of the Periodic Table
    This outline was created by Western Oregon University A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PERIODIC TABLE Although Dmitri Mendeleev is often considered the "father" of the periodic table, the work of many scientists contributed to its present form. In the Beginning A necessary prerequisite to the construction of the periodic table was the discovery of the individual elements. Although elements such as gold, silver, tin, copper, lead and mercury have been known since antiquity, the first scientific discovery of an element occurred in 1649 when Hennig Brand discovered phosphorous. During the next 200 years, a vast body of knowledge concerning the properties of elements and their compounds was acquired by chemists (view a 1790 article on the elements). By 1869, a total of 63 elements had been discovered. As the number of known elements grew, scientists began to recognize patterns in properties and began to develop classification schemes. Law of Triads In 1817 Johann Dobereiner noticed that the atomic weight of strontium fell midway between the weights of calcium and barium, elements possessing similar chemical properties. In 1829, after discovering the halogen triad composed of chlorine, bromine, and iodine and the alkali metal triad of lithium, sodium and potassium he proposed that nature contained triads of elements the middle element had properties that were an average of the other two members when ordered by the atomic weight (the Law of Triads). This new idea of triads became a popular area of study. Between 1829 and 1858 a number of scientists (Jean Baptiste Dumas, Leopold Gmelin, Ernst Lenssen, Max von Pettenkofer, and J.P.
