12.1 The Development of the Periodic Table
Dmitri Mendeleev took the 70 known elements and listed them in several columns based on their physical and chemical
properties. The main property he used was atomic mass, but this led to a periodic repetition of other properties, thus creating the first periodic table.
In 1913 Henry Moseley determined the nuclear
12.2 The Modern Periodic Table
The modern periodic table is arranged in 7 rows of
elements, with increasing atomic number, and 18 columns or families. The 7 horizontal rows are called periods.
The families are identified as 2 specific groups, A or B. The “A” group of elements are also known as representative
The sequence of charge is the same in all the periods and this led to the creation of the Periodic Law which states
that:
“When the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic pattern in their physical
12.3 Electron Configuration and Periodicity
Of the 3 subatomic particles the electron plays the greatest role in the physical and chemical properties of the elements.
How to get the electron configuration of an element
The electron structure around an atom is based on the fact that in nature everything seeks the lowest possible energy because this is the most stable of states. In the world of the atom the electrons
The structure of an atoms electrons is based on location around an atom and the energy of the electrons in those locations
1) There are 7 main energy (quantum) levels around the
nucleus of an atom numbered 1 to 7
2) Within each quantum level there are anywhere from 1 to
4 sublevels labelled s, p, d and f
3) Within each sublevel there are could be 1, 3, 5 or 7
orbitals

- spin electron
+ spin electron
Three rules govern the electron configuration of an atom:
1) the Aufbau principle – Electrons enter the orbitals of lowest
energy(ground state) first.
2) The Pauli Exclusion Principle – Any orbital may contain at most 2
electrons, but they must be of opposite spin

Elements can be classified into 4 categories based on their electron configuration.
1) The Noble Gases (inert gases which do not have any chemical reactivity) –
elements with outermost s and p sublevels which are full.
2) Representative Elements (columns 1,2,13-17) – elements that partially filled
outermost s and p sublevels
3) Transition Elements (all metals except columns 1 and 2) – elements whose
outermost s and nearby d sublevels contain electrons
