Chapter 04 | Periodicity of Elements | Ninth Class Chemistry Notes
Definitions
Periodic Table
A table of elements obtained by arranging them in order of their increasing atomic number in which elements having similar properties are placed in the same group is called Periodic Table.
Group
The vertical column of elements in the periodic table are called Groups.
Period
The horizontal rows of elements in the periodic table are called Periods.
Periodicity
The repetition of physical and chemical properties of elements periodically is called Periodicity of Properties.
Periodic Law
Physical and chemical properties of elements are periodic function of their atomic masses.
Metal
Elements which are good conductors of heat and electricity are malleable and ductile and have a metallic luster are called Metals like Sodium, Potassium, Gold, Copper etc.
Non-Metals
Elements which are non or bad conductor of heat and electricity are neither malleable or ductile and have no metallic luster are called Non-Metals like Carbon, Nitrogen, Chlorine etc.
Metalloids
Metalloids are semi metals have the properties which are intermediate between a metal and non-metal like Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony etc.
Law of Triads
A German Chemist, Dobereiner (1829), arranged chemically similar elements in groups of three on the basis of their atomic masses called Triads and it was found that atomic mass of the middle element was approximately equal to the average of atomic masses of other two elements. This is known as Law of Triads.
Drawback or Defect
As very few elements could be arranged in such groups, this classification did not get wide acceptance.
Law of Octaves
An English Chemist Newland (1864) stated that if the elements were arranged in the ascending order of their atomic masses, every eight element will have similar properties to the first. This is knows as Law of Octaves.
Drawback or Defects
1. Noble gases were not discovered at that time and no place was reserved for the undiscovered noble gases.
2. In the same way no blank spaces for the undiscovered elements were present in his table.
2. In the same way no blank spaces for the undiscovered elements were present in his table.
Mendeleyv’s Period Table and Periodic Law
Russian Chemist, Mendeleyv’s (186) who wa working separately from Lother Mayer published a table of elements.
According to Mendeleyv’s when the element were arranged in order of their increasing atomic mases, the elements with similar properties were repeated after regular interval and were placed one above the other.A table obtained in this manner is called Periodic Table. Mendeleyv’s stated this periodicity in the form of Periodic Law.

Important Features of Mendeleyv’s Periodic Table
The important features of Mendeleyv’s Periodic table are:
Periods and Groups

Vacant Spaces
Mendeleyv’s left many vacant spaces for the still unknown elements. For example, next to Calcium (40) should be Titanium (48) but it resembled silicon (28) instead of Aluminium (27). He left vacant space for element with atomic mass 44.

Defects in Mendeleyv’s Periodic Table
The Mendeleyv’s Period Table has following defects:
Irregular Position of Some Elements
According to Mendeleyv’s Periodic Law Potassium (39) should be placed before Argon (40) but he placed Argon (40) before Potassium (39) which goes against his law.

Modern Periodic Law and Modern Periodic Table
Modern Periodic Law
Physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic function of their atomic number. Mosely (1913) says that atomic mas is not fundamental property. Due to some defects present in Mendeleyv’s periodic law, Mosely introduced the concept of anomic number for the elements.

Example
When isotopes were discovered, it was thought advisable to arrange the elements on basis of their atomic number instead o increasing atomic mases. Isotopes were needed different position in the Mendeleyv’s periodic table. Hence Mendeleyv’s periodic law was modified.

Modern Periodic Table
When Mendeleyv’s periodic law was modified and new elements were discovered. This forcd the scientists to change Mendeleyv’s periodic law.
The electronic configuration of atoms also played an important role in he arrangement of the modern periodic law. This form of periodic table is called “Long form of Periodic Table” because it contains eighteen groups instead of eight but seven periods instead of twelve.

The energy change that occurs when an electron is gained by an atom in the gaseous state is known as Electron Affinity.
Electron Affinity for the addition of first electron is negative i.e. energy is released but for further addition of electrons it is positive because energy has to be added to over come repulsion between negative ion and electron.
