Read the information sheets about the scientists Johann Dobereiner, John Newlands and Dmitri Mendeleev and their contributions to the development of the periodic table.

Using the activity sheet, produce a timeline to show the development of the periodic table. History of the Periodic Table

Scientist: Johann Dobereiner Date

Date The Periodic Table

Add the following information to your copy of the periodic table.

Elements in vertical columns are known as groups.

Horizontal rows are called periods.

The group number shows the amount of electrons in the outermost shell.

Reactivity Rules: in group 1, the elements become more reactive as you move down the group.

Reactivity Rules: in group 7, reactivity decreases as you move down the group. Identifying an Element Given the Group and Period Number

Name the element found in (write your answers on paper) : group 4, period 3 Groups 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 silicon 1 group 7, period 5 2 3 iodine 4 group 0, period 1 5 Periods 6 helium 7 group 2, period 4 calcium Exam-Style Questions

Bronze:

The element magnesium has 12 electrons. State magnesium’s groupo number and show how you could prove your answer is correct. (2 marks). Group 2

Because it has 2 electrons in its outer shell. Exam-Style Questions

Name these two elements. (2 marks) zinc and cadmium iii. Mendeleev left gaps in his periodic table. Explain why. (1 mark) For undiscovered elements. iv. How are elements arranged in today’s periodic table? (1 mark) In order of atomic number. Exam-Style Questions

Gold:

The periodic table, as we know it today, is very different from theo early published periodic tables. Discuss how the periodic table has changed and, where possible, name the scientists involved. Your answer should be in chronological order. (4 marks)

Students’ answers may vary. • 1817, Johann Dobereiner and his Law of Triads. Placed elements into groups of 3 based on appearance and similar reactions. • 1864, John Newlands and his Law of Octaves. Arranged elements in order of atomic mass and suggested that each element was similar to the element eight places further on. • 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev. Placed elements in order of atomic mass but left spaces for undiscovered elements. Mendeleev wasn’t afraid to switch elements around in the table. Lesson 3 and 4 : Atomic Structure Learning Objective To understand the structure of atoms and elements.

Success Criteria • To define the terms atoms and elements. • To describe the structure of atoms. Atoms: What Do You Know?

Can you label the diagram of the atom?

Key Terms nucleus proton neutron electron

Extension: Can you state the charges of the subatomic particles? Answers The Atom: Some Facts • Atoms are neutral. They have no overall charge because the number of protons and electrons are the same.

Particle Relative Mass Relative Charge proton 1 +1 neutron 1 0 electron very small -1

• Atoms have a radius of 0.1 nanometers. Atoms On your activity sheet, define the term atom.

Label the diagram of the atom.

Complete the table showing the particle’s mass and charge. Elements

Elements are made of one type of atom only.

They are represented by both a name and a symbol. For example, carbon = C and sodium = Na (notice how the first letter is always shown by a capital and the second is lower case).

Elements can be found on the periodic table; there are over 100 of them. Elements Look at your copy of the periodic table. Apart from the element name and symbol, what else do you notice?

Mass Number 16

8 Atomic Number O

The atomic number is the number of protons each atom contains. The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the atom. Quick Assessment: Exam Question 1. Magnesium is in group 2 and period 3 of the periodic table. Here is a diagram of a magnesium atom.
