INTRODUCCION
The periodic table presents all the
chemical elements that exist
ordered according to their physical In the antiquity the Greeks concluded
properties, currently is made up of with 4 main elements, water, air, fire,
118 elements and earth, this gave rise later to the
alchemists, which the central axis of this
is the transmutation of metals.
 XVII
Robert Boyle questions all
previous theories and takes
alchemy into the category of
science, as well as the term
"element" acquires a new
dimension.
His theories were not
accepted by the scientists
of the time, it took more
than a century for them to
be accepted.
XIX
63 elements were already known,
but chemists did not agree on the
terminology and how to order
them.
In 1869, the chemist Dimitri
Mendeleev published his periodic
table organized in order of
increasing mass atomic
gallium (1875)
scandium (1879)
germanium (1887)
technetium (1937)
 STRUCTURE
The elements in the same group
have similar properties, for
example, their valencian electron
or their orbitals.

It is classified into metals,

metalloids, non-metals, and rare
metals.
 PERIODIC
PROPERTIES
Electronegativity
Atomic radius
Metallic character
Electronic affinity
Electronegativity

Is a force, an ability
to attract electrons
from other atoms.
 Atomic Radius

Is also known as the

size of the atom (this
includes its protons,
neutrons and
electrons).
Metalic character
Electronic affinity
EXTRA DATA
Groups inclouded in
transition metals
Transition metals comprise from
group 3 to 12. Although certain
authors exclude group 12, which
includes Zinc, Cadmium and Mercury.
Groups inclouded in
transition metals
On the other hand, in certain cases
there are those who do not include
group 3, arguing that these do not
form ions with a partially occupied
shell and therefore do not have the
main characteristic properties that
identify transition metals.
Groups inclouded in
transition metals
The first row of transition metals are
called lanthanides or rare earths. The
second row is made up of the
actinides, these are radioactive and
those above Z=92 are man-made in
nuclear reactors and accelerators.
 Placement of
hydrogen
The chemical properties of hydrogen
are not very close to those of the
alkali metals, which occupied group 1,
and so hydrogen is sometimes placed
elsewhere; one of the more common
alternatives is group 17.

 Placement of
helium
The property that distinguishes helium
from the rest of the noble gases
despite its extraordinary inert
character being very close to neon
and argon is that, in its closed electron
shell, helium has only two electrons in
the outermost orbital, while the rest of
the noble gases have eight.

 CONCLUSION

As chemical engineering students, it is very

helpful to understand the behavior of the
different elements.
