Important Revision Notes on Periodic Classification of Elements
 
¶ Elements : Substances containing atoms of only one type. eg. Na,Au,Mg etc.
– There are around 118 elements known to us.
¶ Elements are classified to make the study easy.
¶ Dobereiner’s Traids :When the elements were written in order of increasing atomic masses the atomic mass of the middle was the average of the atomic mass of the other two elements.
eg. Elements            AtomicMass
           Ca                 40.1
           Sr                 87.6
           Ba                136.3
Limitations : Only three triads were recognised from the elements known at that time.
¶ Atomic mass of an element is the relative mass of its atom as compared widh the mass of a Carbon-12 atom taken as 12 units
¶ Newland’s law of octaves :
– Based on increasing atomic mass of elements.
– When elements are arranged it was found that every eighth element had properties similar to that of the first. eg properties of sodium and Lithium are the same.
 
Limitations :
– Applicable only upto Calcium
– Properties of new elements couldn’t fit in it.
– It some cases properties of the elements were not same as defined by octave.
– Worked well onlywith lighter elements.
Mendeleev's periodic law :– The properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic mass.
Mendeleev's periodic table based on the chemical properties of elements.
Contain eight vertical columns called groups and seven horizontal rows called periods formMendeleev’s peridic table.
Achievements ofMendeleev’s Periodic table
– Elements with similar properties could be grouped together
– Some gaps were left for the undiscovered elements.
– Noble gases could be placed without disturbing the existing order.
 
Limitations:
– No fixed position for hydrogen
– No place for isotopes
– No regular trend in atomic mass.
 
Modern Periodic Table
Modern Periodic Law : Properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number.
– Atomic Number – denoted by Z and equals to the no. of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
– Modern periodic table contains 18 vertical columns known as groups and 7 horizontal rows known as periods.
– Elements in a group have valence electrons
– No. of the shells increases as we go down the group.
– Elements in a period have same number of shells.
– Each period marks a new electronic shell getting filled.
– No. of elements placed in a particular period depends upon the fact that how electrons are filled into various shells.
– Maximum no. of electrons that can be accomodated in a shell depend on the formula 2n2 where n is the no. of the given shell.
eg. k shell – 2 x 2 = 2 elements in the first period L shell – 2 x 2 = 8 elements in the second period.
– Position of the element in the periodic table tells about its reactivity.
 
Trends in the Modern Periodic Table
– Valency : No. of valence electrons present in the outermost shells.
– Atomic Size : Atomic size refers to radius of an atom.
– Atomic size or radius decreases in moving from left to right along a period due to increase in nuclear charge
– Atomic size increases down the group because new shells are being added as we go down the group.
 
Metallic Character : Metallic character means the tendency of an atom to lose electrons.
– Metallic character decreases across a period because the effective nuclear charge increases that means the tendency to lose electrons decreases.
– Metals are electropositive as they tend to lose electrons while forming bonds.
– Metallic character increases as we go down a group as the effective nuclear charge is decreasing. Non metals are electronegative. They tend to form bonds by gaining electrons.
– Metals are found on the left side of the period table while non-metals are towards the right hand side of the periodic table.
– In the middle we have semi-metals or metalloid because they exhibit some properties of both metals and non metals.
– Oxides of metals are basic in nature while oxides of non-metals are acidic in nature.

PROJECTS

1 Power point Presentation on the following topics:

1. Modern Periodic Table based on the similarity of properties of elements

2. Contribution by various Scientists towards the development of Periodic Table.

3. PERIODIC CLASSIFICATION

1.Making flash cards to study atomic numbers electronic configuration and other properties of elements.

TOPIC 3: HOW DO ORGANISMS REPRODUCE? GIST OF THE LESSON

1) Reproduction: process by which living organism produce new individual of their own kind.

2) Creation of DNA copy: when the cell divides into two, each new cell gets a copy of each DNA or chromosomes.

3) Importance of variation: variations are created by DNA copying mechanism during sexual reproduction.

4) Asexual modes of reproduction:

a) Fission—binary & multiple fission

b) Fragmentation

c) Regeneration

d) Budding

e) Vegetative propagation

f) Spore formation

5) Sexual reproductiona)

In flowering plant

b) In human beings

6) Parts of flowers

7) Pollination: self and cross pollination

8) Fertilization: male and female germ cell fuses to form zygote.

9) Puberty: The age, when reproductive organs become functional,(in female 10-12 years, in male 13-14 years).

10) Male reproductive system in human beings.
