No Name Year Contributions


1 Antoine 1743- 1. Classified according to certain groups such as:
Lavoisier 1794 a) gases b) nonmetals c) metals d) metal oxide

2. Less accurate because:


a) Classified light, heat and a few compounds into the
groups as elements.
b) Several elements that were classified into same
group but showed different chemical properties

Gases Non-Metal Metals Metal oxides


• light • Sulphur • Cobalt, • Lime (Calcium
• heat • Phosphorus Mercury, Tin oxide)
• oxygen • Charcoal • Copper, • Magnesia
• nitrogen (carbon) Nickel, Iron (Magnesium
• hydrogen • Gold, Lead, oxide)

2 Johann W. 1780- 1. Atomic mass of strontium atom, Sr was similar to the


Dobereiner 1849 average mass of Calcium atom, Ca and Barium atom, Ba.
These elements had the same chemical properties.

2. Similar condition occurred with Chlorine (Cl), Bromine


(Br) and Iodine (I).

3. The group consisting of these 3 elements


(Cl, Br, I) was named triad.

4. His classification showed the relationship between the


chemical properties of elements and atomic mass.

5. Disadvantage: Dobereiner’s classification was limited


to several element only.

Triad 1 Triad 2 Triad 3 Triad 4 Triad 5


Li Ca S Cl Mn
Na Sr Se Br Cr
K Ba Te I Fe

3 John Newlands 1837-1898 1. Arrange elements according to their increasing


atomic masses.

2. He arranged seven elements in a row because


he found that chemical and physical properties of
the first element recurred at every eight elements.

3. He named the arrangement as The Law of


Octaves.

4. The Law of Octaves had only been confirmed by


the first 17 elements. However, the recurrence in
properties of the eighth element showed the
presence of periodic pattern in the properties of
elements.

4 Lothar Meyer 1830-1895 1. Meyer plotted the graph of atomic volume


against atomic mass of elements.

2. He found that the elements at equivalent


positions on the curve of the graph had similar
chemical properties

3. For example, Lithium, Sodium, Potassium and


Rubidium that were located at the peaks of the
curve.

4. Meyer also proved the recurrence in properties


of elements similar to Newlands.

5 Dmitri 1834-1907 1. Arranged the element s according to their


Mendeleeve increasing atomic mass.

2. Only elements with similar chemical properties


were arranged in the same vertical column.

3. He had left several empty space in his periodic


table to be filled by elements.

6. Henry Moseley 1887-1915 1. He found a relationship between the X-ray


spectrum and proton numbers.
2. He proposed that each element ought to have its
own proton number.
3. He arranged the elements in the Periodic Table
of elements according to their increasing proton
numbers.
4. Moseley also left empty spaces in his periodic
table like Mendeleev and successfully predicted
four elements namely Technetium (Tc),
Promethium (Pm), Hafnium (Hf), Rhenium (Re)
which were discovered later.

4.1.2 : Basic Principle of Arrangement of Elements in the Periodic Table of Elements.

1. Element in the Periodic Table of


Elements are arranged in ascending
order of proton numbers
(ranging from 1 to 118).

2. Elements with similar chemical


properties are placed in the same
vertical columns.

4.2 The Arrangement in the Periodic Table of Elements

1. The modern Periodic Table of Elements is a form of systematic classification of elements in


ascending order of proton numbers from left to right and from top to bottom.

2. Group
Questions a) Group is the vertical columns in the
Periodic Table of Elements
b) There are 18 groups in the Periodic Table of
Elements
c) The number of valence electrons will
determine the position of the group of an
element.

Concept of Group Examples

With three until eight Number of valence electrons + 10 2.8.3 13

3. Period
a) Period is the horizontal rows in the Periodic Table
of Elements.
b) There are seven periods in the Periodic Table of
Elements.
c) The number of shells filled with electrons will
determine the position of an element in a period.

f) Radon Rn 86 2.8.18.32.18.8 8

Elements Group knows as noble gas or inert gas or monoatomic or chemically


unreactive

This is because noble gases achieved a stable duplet or octet arrangement, causing the atoms of
noble gases to not donate, accept, nor share electrons with the atoms of other element due to
valence shells that are fully filled with electrons.

CHAPTER 4 : THE PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS CHEMISTRY FORM 4 (KSSM)

General Physical Properties Group 18

1. Nobles gases exists as monoatomic gases (exist as a single atom) e.g : He, Kr
2. They are colourless gases at room temperature
3. They are insoluble in water
4. They cannot conduct electricity and are poor conductor heat
5. They have low melting points and boiling points

A. When going down the group 18, atomic mass increases


Reason: This is because the number of electrons occupied shells in the atom increases

B. When going down the group 18, melting point and boiling point of elements increases.
Reason:
Increase in the atomic size of elements will increase the attraction force between the atoms.
Thus more heat energy is required to overcome this force.

C. When going down the group, density of element increases


Reason:
This is because of the increase in relative atomic mass is more than increase in atomic size.
The ratios of relative atomic mass to the atomic size increases down the group

Element Uses Group 18


Helium Used to fill weather balloons
Used in the oxygen tanks of divers
Neon Used in advertising board lights
Argon Used to fill in electric bulbs
Used to provide an inert atmosphere for welding in high
temperature
Krypton Used in flashlight of cameras
Used in lasers for eyes retina treatment
Xenon Used in lighthouses lamps

CHAPTER 4 : THE PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS CHEMISTRY FORM 4 (KSSM)

A. When going down the group 1, atomic mass increases


Reason: This is because the number of electrons occupied shells in the atom increases

B. When going down the group 1, melting point and boiling point of elements decreases
Reason:
This because as the atomic size increases, the metallic bond become weaker.
Thus less heat energy is required to overcome the weak metallic bond.

C. When going down the group, density of element increases


Reason:
This is because of the increase in relative atomic mass is more than increase in atomic size.
The ratios of relative atomic mass to the atomic size increases down the group

Reactivity Group 1

1. When Going Down Group 1


the atomic size Increases.

2. The single valence electron becomes


further away from the nucleus.

3. Hence attraction forces between the


nucleus and the valence electrons
becomes weaker.

4. As a result, it is easier for atom to lose


the single valence electron to achieve
the duplet or octet electron
arrangement.

5. Therefore, the reactivity of Group 1


elements increases down the group.
