Classification of Elements

Arrangement of Elements
 OBJECTIVE

• TO CLASSIFY THE CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS.

• TO IDENTIFY THE BLOCKS, GROUPS, AND PERIODS.

• TO DIFFERENTIATE THE CLASSIFICATIONS OF ELEMENTS.

• TO WRITE ELECTRON CONFIGURATION.

 DMITRI IVANOVICH MENDELEEV
• WAS A RUSSIAN CHEMIST AND INVENTOR. HE IS BEST KNOWN FOR FORMULATING
THE PERIODIC LAW AND CREATING A FARSIGHTED VERSION OF THE PERIODIC
TABLE OF ELEMENTS.
• DMITRI MENDELEEV DEVISED THE PERIODIC CLASSIFICATION OF THE CHEMICAL
ELEMENTS, IN WHICH THE ELEMENTS WERE ARRANGED IN ORDER OF INCREASING
ATOMIC WEIGHT.
CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS
• THERE ARE 3 CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS:
-METALS
-METALLOIDS
-NONMETALS
METALS
• ARE ELEMENTS ON THE PERIODIC TABLE THAT
ARE MALLEABLE, LOSE ELECTRONS EASILY, GOOD
CONDUCTORS OF HEAT OR ELECTRICITY, AND
TYPICALLY APPEAR REFLECTIVE.

METALS
METALLOIDS
• A CHEMICAL ELEMENT THAT FORMS A SIMPLE
SUBSTANCE HAVING PROPERTIES INTERMEDIATE
BETWEEN THOSE OF A TYPICAL METAL AND A
TYPICAL NONMETAL.

METALLOIDS
NONMETALS
• IS A CHEMICAL ELEMENT THAT GENERALLY
LACKS A PREDOMINANCE OF METALLIC
PROPERTIES; THEY RANGE FROM COLORLESS
GASES TO SHINY AND REFRACTORY SOLIDS.

NONMETALS
ARRANGEMENT OF ELEMENTS
Groups and Periods
• IF WE LOOK AT THE PERIODIC TABLE, WE CAN SEE COLUMNS AND
ROWS. THE ELEMENTS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROPERTIES ARE
CALLED THE GROUPS OR FAMILIES.

• THE COMMONLY ASSOCIATED SIMILARITY OF THE ELEMENTS IN

THE SAME COLUMN IS THEIR NUMBER OF VALENCE ELECTRONS.
THESE ELECTRONS ARE THE OUTERMOST ENERGY LEVEL OF THE
ATOM THAT PARTICIPATES IN THE CHEMICAL BONDING PROCESS.

ARRANGEMENT OF EL
• THE GROUPS CAN BE NUMBERED USING THE IUPAC SYSTEM, WHICH IS FROM 1 TO 18
STARTING FROM THE LEFT GOING TO THE RIGHT. OR THE OLD NOTATION OF USING ROMAN
NUMERALS. THE ROMAN NUMERALS REPRESENT THE NUMBER OF VALENCE ELECTRONS
OF EVERY GROUP OF ELEMENTS.

Valence Electrons

ARRANGEMENT OF ELEMENT
• GROUP A IS CALLED REPRESENTATIVE OR MAIN GROUP OF ELEMENTS
• GROUP B ARE CALLED THE TRANSITION ELEMENTS.

(GROUPS) Arrangement of Elements

• THE HORIZONTAL GROUPINGS OF THE ELEMENTS IN ROWS ARE CALLED PERIODS.
THEY ARE NUMBER FROM 1-7

(GROUPS) Arrangement of Elements

 • ONE INTERESTING THING THAT YOU NOTICE IS THE ADDITIONAL 2 ROWS AT THE
BOTTOM PART OF THE PERIODIC TABLE. THESE 2 ROWS DO NOT HAVE ANY
NUMBER. BUT THEY ARE ACTUALLY PART OF NUMBER 6 & 7.
THEY ARE CALLED INNER TRANSITION METALS.

The First row is called

the Lanthanides and
the second is actinides.

Arrangement of Elements
 QUANTUM MECHANICAL MODEL

• IN THE MODERN ATOMIC MODEL CALLED QUANTUM MECHANICAL MODEL OF

THE ATOM, THE ELECTRONS ARE DISTRIBUTED AND ARRANGED IN ATOMIC
ORBITALS, AND THESE ORBITALS HAVE CORRESPONDING ENERGY LEVEL

Arrangement of Elements
• AS THE ELEMENTS ARE GROUPED IN COLUMNS AND ROWS, THEY ARE ALSO
GROUPED IN FOUR BLOCKS: S(SHARP)-BLOCK, P(PRINCIPLE)-BLOCK, D(DIFFUSE)-
BLOCK, F(FUNDAMENTAL)-BLOCK

Arrangement
(BLOCKS) of Elements
• WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE, WE CAN WRITE THE ELECTRON CONFIGURATION OF THE
ELEMENTS.
• THE ELECTRON CONFIGURATION GIVES THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE ELECTRONS
OF THE ELEMENTS IN THE ORBITALS.
• THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ELECTRONS THAT CAN BE ACCOMMODATED:
• S=2
• P=6
• D = 10 (ENERGY LEVEL PERIOD NUMBER MINUS 1)
• F = 14 (ENERGY LEVEL PERIOD NUMBER MINUS 2)

• FOR ELEMENTS WITH MANY ELECTRONS, THE ELECTRON CONFIG. CAN BE

WRITTEN IN CONDENSED FORM USING THE NOBLE GAS CONFIG. AS THE
REFERENCE.
