Group names periodic table

When the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev (1834-1907) developed his version of the periodic table in 1869, he arranged the elements known at that time in order of atomic mass or atomic weight so that they fell into columns called groups or families consisting of elements with similar chemical and physical properties. By doing so, the rows exhibit periodic trends in properties going from left to right across the table, hence the reference to rows as periods and name periodic table. ... 

From radium called niton at first, L. nitens, shining) The element was discovered in 1900 by Dorn, who called it radium emanation. In 1908 Ramsay and Gray, who named it niton, isolated the element and determined its density, finding it to be the heaviest known gas. It is essentially inert and occupies the last place in the zero group of gases in the Periodic Table. Since 1923, it has been called radon. 

As indicated in Figure 4, the early transactinide elements find their place back in the main body of the Periodic Table. The discoverers of the currendy known transactinide elements, suggested names and symbols, and dates of discovery are Hsted in Table 10 (19). Because there are competing claims for the discovery of these elements, the two groups of discoverers in each case have suggested names for elements 104 and 105. In the case of elements 106—109, names for the elements have not been suggested in order to avoid another dupHcation. 

A further group of elements, the transuranium elements, has been synthesized by artificial nuclear reactions in the period from 1940 onwards their relation to the periodic table is discussed fully in Chapter 31 and need not be repeated here. Perhaps even more striking today are the predictions, as yet unverified, for the properties of the currently non-existent superheavy elements.Elements up to lawrencium (Z = 103) are actinides (5f) and the 6d transition series starts with element 104. So far only elements 104-112 have been synthesized, ) and, because there is as yet no agreement on trivial names for some of these elements (see pp. 1280-1), they are here referred to by their atomic numbers. A systematic naming scheme was approved by lUPAC in 1977 but is not widely used by researchers in the field. It involves the use of three-letter symbols derived directly from the atomic number by using the... 

Polyatomic ions, as you have seen (Table 2.2), are given special names. Certain non-metals in Groups 15 to 17 of the periodic table form more than one polyatomic ion containing oxygen (oxoanions). The names of several such oxoanions are shown in Table 2.3. From the entries in the table, you should be able to deduce the following rules ... 

What will now be proposed is that in addition to its role in ordering the elements, the quantity Z may be used to also affect a secondary classification of the elements, that is, their placement into vertical groups in the sense of the conventional periodic table. In proposing this idea, I make use of what was historically the earliest hint of chemical periodicity, namely, the existence of triads of elements [35]. 

B.15 Name each of the following elements (a) Sc (b) Sr (c) S (d) Sb. List their group numbers in the periodic table. Identify each as a metal, a nonmetal, or a metalloid. 

CIF3 This compound contains two elements from Group 17 of the periodic table. Chlorine is named first because it is lower in the group, and we add a prefix that specifies the number of fluorine atoms chlorine trifluoride. 

In this chapter, you learned about the atom and the three basic subatomic particles protons, neutrons, and electrons. You also learned about the periodic table and about the classification of the various elements on the periodic table. Classifications include metal, metalloid, nonmetal, and classification according to the family (group) and period. You also learned the difference between ions and molecules, and how to name ionic compounds and molecules systematically. 

Many transition metals and the group of six elements centered around lead on the periodic table commonly have more than one valence. The valence of these metals in a compound must be known before the compound can be named. Modern nomenclature rules indicate the valence of one of these metals with a Roman numeral suffix (Stock notation). Older nomenclature rules used different suffixes to indicate the charge. Examples ... 

The Periodic Table of the elements is shown in Fig. 4.1, in one of its most popular versions. Special names for families of elements are indicated in Fig. 4.2. In particular, notice that the elements having atomic numbers from 58 to 71 together with La (atomic number 57) pertain to the lanthanide family, and those from Z = 90 to Z = 103, together with Ac, Z = 89, to the actinide family. In the Periodic Table of Fig.4.1, which is commonly used, the elements La and Ac, together with Sc and Y, are placed in their proper positions of the 3rd column (3rd group) of the Table. The other lanthanides and actinides are reported separately at the bottom of the figure. 

Technological subdivision of the Periodic Table. As a concluding remark, we identify in the Table some classes of the most commercially important metals for which widespread common names are used. As an example, the following groups of important technological metals can be evidenced on the basis of their properties and applications (see Fig. 4.12). Notice also their clustering in the Table. 

The periodic table arranges the elements in a way that shows many of their properties and relationships to each other.The horizontal rows are called periods, and the vertical columns are called groups.The groups, numbered 1 through 18, are Hsted at the top of each column right underneath in parentheses are former Roman numeral group names I through Vlll that are sometimes still used. Each element is represented by a letter symbol, with the fuU name printed at the top. The atomic number, which is the number of proto ns in the nucleus, is written above each element. 

The placement of an unknown element with an atomic number of 87 in group 1, period 7 of the periodic table was one of Dimitri Mendeleevs ideas based on the chemical properties and physical characteristics of the other alkali metals. In the late nineteenth century, Mendeleev named this unknown element eka-cesium and predicted its properties based on what was known of cesium s placement on the periodic table. This led to worldwide searches for element number 87, which were not all successful but which did result in proposed names for eka-cesium (moldavium, virginium, russium).
