Class Eleventh Chemistry: Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties

Introduction

  • In this lesson, we will study the classification of elements and their properties.
  • Everything will be crystal clear after viewing the lesson.

Importance of the Topic

  • It is crucial to know how chemistry books at home are organized.
  • We will discuss many elements and their properties.

History and Development

  • For the first time, systematic classification was made by Banner with 90 elements.
  • Newland created a table with 106 elements.
    • In this table, elements were arranged in increasing order of atomic mass.
  • At one point, chemical properties were understood through 63 elements.
  • A classification based on atomic number was developed with 90.

Modern Periodic Table

  • The modern periodic table was developed based on modern physics and chemical properties.
  • It is crucial to arrange elements according to atomic number.
    • At regular intervals, the properties of elements repeat.

Types of Periodic Table

  • The long-form periodic table is the most commonly used.
  • Only 2 elements are in the first period: Hydrogen, Helium.
  • The second, third, fourth,... periods have 8, 18, and 32 elements respectively.

Trends in Atomic Properties

  • Decreases: Atomic radius (left to right)
  • Increases: Atomic radius (top to bottom)
  • Paying attention to electronic configuration is essential.

Electronic and Ionization Energy

  • Ionization Energy: The amount of energy required to arrange electrons.
  • Ionization energy directly depends on electronic configuration.
    • Increases from top to bottom in a group.
    • Decreases from left to right in a period.

Differences between Non-metals and Metals

  • Non-metals: Do not maintain shape at room temperature, while metals remain solid.
  • Metals generally release electrons easily.
  • Any element that can react based on its electronegativity.

Conclusion

  • By the end of this video, all your doubts will be cleared.
  • Write if needed, in the next video we will discuss a new topic.
