Extractions: The Periodic Table of the Elements It is not difficult to find periodic tables of the chemical elements. What is provided here, however, is a table with information drawn from different sources that may not always be found together (though there is the massive Handbook of Chemistry and Physics , edited by Robert C. Weast and Melvin J. Astle, of which I have the 62nd edition, 1981-1982, CRC Press, Inc.). Thus, atomic isotopes, half-lives, and decay modes are largely taken from Subatomic Physics , by Hans Frauenfelder and Ernest M. Henley (Prentice-Hall, Inc. 1974). Cosmic abundance of elements is taken from the Realm of the Universe , by George O. Abell (Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, Inc. 1976Abell's catalogue of galaxy clusters has now enshrined his name to the far reaches of the universe). Some minerological information comes from An Introduction to Minerology for Geologists Manual of Minerology Many of the sources above may seem somewhat out of date, but they reflect the period when I was studying these matters, and when I was especially intrigued to supplement a chemical view of the elements with a picture of the variety of nuclear isotopes. This table is not intended, therefore, as a resource for chemistry, physics, or minerology students. It is a resource for philosophy of science, illustrating basic ideas and information, where the most up to date data and the provision of all chemically useful information is not necessary: Data for reflection and theory, not for application and experiment. Some commentary, color coding, and further footnotes will be added.

Any property that can be seen or measured is probably a physical property. Any property that describes changes in the substance is a chemical property. Changes in physical state (liquid, solid, or gas) involve physical properties, not chemical ones. Water has different names, depending on its physical state (ice is solid water, steam is gaseous water), but it is still the same substance.

Extractions: Help There are about 90 elements, up to Uranium, that are found naturally. Another 20 elements, beyond Uranium, called trans-uranium elements, have been produced artificially in the laboratories by nuclear reactions. Two elements, Technetium (Tc) and Promethium (Pm) that occur below Uranium are unstable in nature. Elements can be classified by the physical and chemical properties that they display. We have discussed about classification of elements in earlier chapters. The chemical behavior of all elements depends on their electronic configurations. It is the electrons that take part in chemical reactions and therefore their interactions are the main factors that determine the outcome of a chemical reaction. The periodic table of elements has been made on the basis of electronic configuration of elements alone. Depending on the availability of free electrons, elements can be classified as metals and non-metals. Free electrons are unbound electrons, beyond closed shells. In metals, these unbound electrons are given off or donated during compound formation. In non-metals, there are no free electrons, instead there is a deficiency of electrons. While forming compounds, non-metals borrow electrons. Examples of metals are Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Gold (Au). Examples of non-metals are Carbon (C ), Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), Chlorine (Cl).

Extractions: Help In the early part of the 19 th century, many chemists noted that chemical properties of elements showed some similarities. The elements could be formed into groups. In 1817, Dobereiner showed that elements came in groups of three, now known as Dobereiners triads. In 1863, a 44 year old French geologist, A. E. Béguyer de Chancourtois created a list of the elements, arranged by increasing atomic weight. The list was wrapped around a cylinder so that several sets of similar elements lined up, creating the first geometric representation of the periodic law. In England, a 32 year old analytical chemist John A. R. Newlands was also wrapping the elements, noting that chemical groups repeated every eight elements. He named this the octave rule, and compared it to a musical scale. Chemists Dmitrii I. Mendeleev, a Russian, and German Lothar Meyer, were working independently in 1868 and 1869 on the arrangement of elements into seven columns, corresponding to various chemical and physical properties. Their tables were similar - Meyer's table was an accurate accounting of the known facts about each element, such as melting point and atomic volume. The table clearly showed the existence of periodic chemical families. What we will study in this chapte r

Atoms are continually undergoing decay. When studying nucle ar chemistry, there is a typical format used to represent specific isotopes. Alpha decay follows the form: Where A is the parent isotope (the atom being broken apart) B is the daughter isotope or the isotope formed. When an element is broken down in alpha decay it looses two neutrons and two (2) protons. This means that the name of the element will change as well, moving back two (2) places on the per iodic table. Alpha decay is is not very penetrating because the He atoms capture electrons before traveling very far. However it is very damaging because the alpha particles can knock atoms off of molecules .Alpha decay is the most common in elements with an atomic number greater than 83.

Extractions: Back Next A simple understanding of positive and negative ions will help you to predict the chemical formulae of most acids, bases and salts. Some atoms e.g. Sodium atoms, Potassium atoms, Fluorine atoms can easily turn into ions by losing or gaining electrons. The most reactive elements do this very readily. Elements like Neon, Argon, Krypton, and Xenon are very unreactive: it is virtually impossible for their atoms to lose or gain electrons. This means that it is not possible to find Neon ions or Argon ions etc. Positive ions Negative ions Stick them together All atoms are composed of and equal number of protons (in the nucleus) and electrons (orbiting around the nucleus). Apart from Hydrogen atoms, all atoms also contain Neutrons in their nuclei. Neutrons have no electric charge. Protons have a positive electric charge: P and electrons have a negative electric charge: e This means that if an atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons it will have no overall charge. When an atom loses an electron it must have more protons than electrons so it will have an overall positive charge: these are all positive ions. You will find these elements in the first column of the periodic table, this is Group I. H Li Na K The elements in Group II also make positive ions, but instead of losing a single electron, their atoms lose 2 electrons when they turn into ions: you will find these metals in the second column of your periodic table so they are Group II.

It can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas. It may be possible to break some kinds of matter down into other kinds of matter with different properties. For example, water (H O) can be broken down into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen and oxygen in the above example cannot be broken down any further because they are elements Elements cannot be broken down into substances with different properties. For example, water (H O) is not an element because it can be broken down into hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). The smallest particle of an element is an atom Elements are substances made up of only one kind of atom. There are 92 naturally occurring elements. Matter is therefore composed of 92 different kinds of elements. The following elements make up 98% of the body weight of organisms: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Sulfur, Phosphorus.

Extractions: Salt: The Essence of Life Multidisciplinary Curriculum for Students Unit 2: Chemistry The Nature of Salt 1½ - 2 Class Periods Overview In this module students will identify the physical and chemical properties of salt. Background Chemically, salt consists of two elements, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). Elemental chlorine is the chlorine atom (Cl), which pairs to form chlorine gas (Cl2). Neither element separately occurs free in nature, but each is found in abundance as the useful compound, sodium chloride (NaCl), or salt. It occurs naturally in many parts of the world as the mineral halite and as mixed evaporites in salt lakes. Seawater contains an average of 2.6% (by weight) NaCl, or 26 million metric tons per cubic kilometer (120 million short tons per cubic mile), an inexhaustible supply. Sodium chloride in solution consists of a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chloride ion. In solid form the atoms arrange themselves in a cubic crystal lattice. Table salt, when viewed under a magnifying glass, can be seen to consist of tiny cube flakes. Salt varies in color from colorless, when pure, to white, gray or brownish, typical of rock salt (halite). Chemically, it is 60.66% chlorine (Cl) and 39.34% sodium (Na). The atomic weight of chlorine is 35.4527 and that of sodium is 22.989768. Getting Ready Time: 1 1/2 to 2 class periods Materials Per Student Group: 1/2 cup table salt, magnifying glass
