The document provides an overview of the periodic table including its development, characteristics, and positioning of elements. It discusses: - There are 118 known elements placed in the periodic table based on their electronic configurations. Metals lie on the left side and non-metals on the right, separated by metalloids. - The horizontal rows are called periods and there are 7 periods. Elements in the same period have consecutive atomic numbers. The vertical columns are called groups and elements in the same group have similar properties despite having different atomic numbers. - Noble gases are placed on the far right. Early periodic tables were arranged by atomic mass but Mendeleev organized his 1871 table based on properties, allowing prediction of unknown

2. Periodic Table :
Introduction– Elements are placed in periodic table. (Any substance that is comprised of identical
and specific group of atoms is an Element)
Total no. of elements= 118

Prior to December, 2015 the total number of elements = 114 (Z= 113,115,117 & 118)

3. • The arrangement of elements in modern periodic table is based on their electronic
configurations. Previously, it was done on the basis of atomic mass.
Periodic Table :
Characteristics
• In the periodic table, metals have been separated from non- metals by some elements
called “metalloids”. The metals lie on the left side of the metalloids whereas non- metals
are on right side of the metalloids.
• The horizontal rows of elements in periodic table are called periods. There are 7 periods
in modern periodic table. The elements in a period have consecutive atomic numbers.
Example : in period 2 we have elements Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F and Ne having atomic no. 3 ,4
,5 ,6 ,7 ,8 ,9 and 10.
• The vertical
columns in a
periodic table are
called groups.
There are 18 groups
in modern periodic
table. The elements
in a group do not
have consecutive
atomic numbers.
Example : in a group
2 we have elements
Be ,Mg ,Ca ,Sr ,Ba
and Ra with atomic
no. 4 ,12 ,20 ,38 ,56
and 88.
• The noble gases i.e, He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn are placed on the extreme right side of the
periodic table.

4. Periodic Table : Base

5. Periodic Table :
Development
Mendeleev's 1871 periodic table. Dashes: unknown elements. Group I-VII: modern group 1–7 with transition
metals added; some of these extend into a group VIII. Noble gases unknown (and unpredicted).

6. Periodic Table :
Development
Mendeleev's 1904 table, which is an extension of his 1871 table.

7. Periodic Table :
Development
Werner's 32-column 1905 table, including many of the known lanthanides and radioactive elements

8. Periodic Table : Basic
PrinciplesDöbereiner’s law of triads: A triad is a grouping of three elements in order of atomic
mass. The average of the first and third elements' atomic masses is the atomic mass of the
second element.
Ex 1. Li, Na & K (Atomic mass of Li= 07, Atomic mass of K=39; atomic mass of 23,
average of 07 & 39)
2. Ca, Sr & Ba
3. Cl, Br & I
Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner
John Alexander Reina Newlands
Newland’s law of Octaves: If the chemical elements are arranged according to increasing
atomic weight, those with similar physical and chemical properties occur after each interval
of seven elements.
