Think of all the ways a deck of cards could be laid out so that the cards form some sort of identifiable pattern.

Write down as many patterns as you can in your science journal.

Section 1 Arranging the Elements

Describe how Mendeleev arranged elements in the first periodic table. Explain how elements are arranged in the modern periodic table.

Compare metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their properties and on their location in the periodic table. Describe the difference between a period and a group.

Section 1 Arranging the Elements

Discovering a Pattern
In 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic mass. Periodic Properties of the Elements When the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic mass, those that had similar properties occurred in a repeating pattern. These repeating patterns are periodic, meaning that they happen at regular intervals.

Discovering a Pattern, continued

Predicting Properties of Missing Elements Mendeleevs arrangement had gaps in its pattern. Mendeleev predicted that elements yet to be found would fill these gaps. He also predicted the properties of the missing elements. By 1886, all of the gaps had been filled and Mendeleevs predictions were right.

Changing the Arrangement

A few elements properties did not fit in the pattern of Mendeleevs table.
In 1914, British scientist Henry Moseley found the number of protonsthe atomic numberin an atom. When the elements were arranged by atomic number, they fit the pattern in Mendeleevs table.

The Periodic Table and Classes of Elements

Elements are classified as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids, according to their properties. The number of electrons in the outer energy level of an atom is one characteristic that helps determine which category an element belongs in. The zigzag line on the periodic table can help you recognize which elements belong in which category.

Metals are found to the left of the zigzag line. Atoms of most metals have few electrons in their outer energy level. Most metals are shiny, ductile, malleable, and are good conductors of electric current and thermal energy.

Nonmetals are found to the right of the zigzag line. Atoms of most nonmetals have an almost complete set of electrons in their outer energy level. Nonmetals are not shiny, ductile, or malleable, and are poor conductors of electric current and thermal energy.

Metalloids are the elements that border the zigzag line. Atoms of metalloids have about half of a complete set of electrons in their outer energy level. Metalloids have some properties of metals and some properties of nonmetals. Metalloids are also called semiconductors.

Decoding the Periodic Table

Each Element is Identified by a Chemical Symbol Each square on the periodic table includes an elements name, chemical symbol, atomic number, and atomic mass. For most elements, the chemical symbol has one or two letters. The newest elements have temporary three-letter symbols.

Rows Are Called Periods Each horizontal row of elements is called a period. The chemical and physical properties of elements in a row follow a repeating pattern as you move across the period.

Columns Are Called Groups Each vertical column of elements is called a group. Elements in the same group often have similar chemical and physical properties.
