The Development Of Modern Periodic Table Of Elements

The elements were organized by Dimitri Mendeleév. He organized them by properties (columns), groups (horizontal), and atomic number (the number of protons and electrons). This became known as the Periodic Table. And currently there are 118 elements. He also found gaps in which elements that were yet to be discovered were to go, three of these unknown elements were found and identified in Mendeleév's lifetime. The elements today are used in everything and 75% of the 118 elements are metal.

-Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley- Worked with Ernest Rutherford, experimented with 38 metals, he found that the positive charge of each element’s nucleus increased by one from element to element as they were arranged in Mendeleev’s periodic table, lead to modern definition of atomic number (# of protons in atom’s nucleus) and the recognition the

  Then in 1661, Irish chemist Robert Boyle supported the philosophers’ theory of how chemical elements are made up of the simplest matter, backing the theory of how matter makes up all life and is the smallest living thing (Doc. 1). But a bombshell happened in 1803 when John Dalton backed up all three theories by discovering that atoms make up all matter, and chemical compounds are made of atoms (OI).

The second main contributor toward the atomic structure was John Dalton. John Dalton was the one who brought the atomic theory talk back into play after 2000 years from Democritus. Dalton become fond of the atomic structure following his love from meteorology. He claimed that the forces of repulsion that caused pressure only were between the same atoms and the atoms inside a mixture had different weights and complexity. He then decided to calculate the atomic weights by determining the percentages of each composition in a compound. This allowed him to be able to

Around 1803 John Dalton, an English chemist developed the first useful atomic theory of matter. Amedeo Avogadro, the Italian chemist in 1811 published an article drawing the distinction between the atom and the molecule, which now is known as “Avogadro’s

Over the course of the last 5000 years, mankind’s knowledge has been constantly advancing. Chemistry, a branch of science, has experienced a tremendous leap and expansions since ancient Greek civilization. One of the major breakthroughs in the advancement in Chemistry was the creation of the Atomic theory, which laid a foundation for the modern-day Chemistry and future of science. The Atomic theory introduced the idea of atoms, which are defined as the discrete units of matter. There are five key scientists that significantly contributed to the Atomic model over a span of thousands of years. They are: Democritus, John Dalton, J.J. Thompson, Ernest Rutherford, and Niels Bohr.

Stanislao Cannizzaro was born on July 13, 1826. When he was younger, he showed great skills in mathematics. He later became an assistant to Rafaelle Piria. Cannizzaro saw his dedication to his work that Piria influenced him to transform his study to chemistry. Cannizzaro later determined the different atomic weights. Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev always had a love for history, math, and physics. He attended the University of St. Petersburg where he formed the ideas of chemical compounds. Mendeleev found out that you could simplify the periodic table by separating them into different groups. He arranged them by the atomic weights and then later realized they had similar chemical properties. He had also given predictions of future elements and their properties.

Additionally, Johann Dobereiner began grouping elements with like properties into triads – groups of 3 elements – between 1817 and 1829. His work began in 1817 after he noticed that the atomic weight of Strontium (Sr) was medially between the atomic weights of calcium and

Though there are over a hundred different elements, each one is unique in its complexity and properties. Helium has an atomic Number of two, that’s how you can tell it it has two positively charged atoms, or ‘protons’, in

In the world there are 118 different elements. Each of these elements have a specific job that they accomplish for us and the Earth. Some of these elements are used more than others. There are even a few that do not occur naturally on Earth, which means they are created in labs or in other controlled areas. Many are even harmful to us which can cause many illnesses if not treated with care. Although some may be harmful or some may be man-made they serve a purpose in order to keep our world going.

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher, believed there were only 4 elements; fire, water, air, and Earth. This idea was widely accepted for 2,000 years. Antoine Lavoisier is considered “father of modern chemistry” although he made a living as a tax collector. His view of having only 4 elements being the basis of the material world helped influence “alchemists”.

This chapter talks mainly about the importance of the periodic table and discusses some of the stories behind some unique and important elements, along with interesting scientific discoveries. Chapter 1 really intrigued me, and I wasn’t expecting that. Even after I read the back of the book summary, I still reluctantly started reading. However, I don’t regret it now because this book is pretty fascinating.

As a textbook, the Traité incorporated the foundations of modern chemistry. It spelled out the influence of heat on chemical reactions, the nature of gases, the reactions of acids and bases to form salts, and the apparatus used to perform chemical experiments. For the first time, the Law of the Conservation of Mass was defined, with Lavoisier asserting that "... in every operation an equal quantity of matter exists both before and after the operation"(Lavoisier). The most striking feature of the Traité was its "Table of Simple Substances," the first modern listing of the then-known elements (the skeleton of the modern Periodic

The periodic table is the most important chemistry reference there is. It arranges all the known elements in an informative array. Just like when entering a grocery store similar items are grouped together which makes an item easier to find. Elements are arranged left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. The different rows of elements are called periods. The period number of an element signifies the highest energy level an electron in that element occupies. An element is a substance that is made
