NameDateCHAPTER6ClassCHALLENGE PROBLEMSDöbereiner’s TriadsUse with Chapter 6,Section 6.2One of the first somewhat successful attempts to arrange the elements in a systematic waywas made by the German chemist Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner (1780–1849). In 1816,Döbereiner noticed that the then accepted atomic mass of strontium (50) was midway betweenthe atomic masses of calcium (27.5) and barium (72.5). Note that the accepted atomic massesfor these elements today are very different from their accepted atomic masses at the timeDöbereiner made his observations. Döbereiner also observed that strontium, calcium, and barium showed a gradual gradation in their properties, with the values of some of strontium’sproperties being about midway between the values of calcium and barium. Döbereiner eventually found four other sets of three elements, which he called triads, that followed the same pattern. In each triad, the atomic mass of the middle element was about midway between theatomic masses of the other two elements. Unfortunately, because Döbereiner’s system did notturn out to be very useful, it was largely ignored.Set 1ElementMelting Point ( C) 219.6FluorineChlorineSet 2Calculated:ElementActual:Boiling Point ( C)Krypton ry: Matter and Change Chapter 6Calculated:Strontium1384Set 6Melting Point ( C)937Calculated:ElementBoiling Point ( C)BerylliumMagnesiumActual: 621107Actual:39.098GermaniumBoiling Point ( C)MagnesiumSet 5ElementRadonCalculated:PotassiumSet 4Xenon6.941ElementActual: 7.2BromineAtomic MassLithiumSodiumSet 31285Calculated:Actual:327Calcium851Challenge ProblemsCopyright Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Had Döbereiner actually discovered a way of identifying trends among the elements?Listed below are six three-element groups in which the elements in each group are consecutivemembers of the same group in the periodic table.

NameDateCHAPTER8ClassCHALLENGE PROBLEMSComparing the Structures ofAtoms and IonsUse with Chapter 8,Section 8.1The chemical properties of an element depend primarily on its number of valence electrons inits atoms. The noble gas elements, for example, all have similar chemical propertiesbecause the outermost energy levels of their atoms are completely filled. The chemical propertiesof ions also depend on the number of valence electrons. Any ion with a complete outermostenergy level will have chemical properties similar to those of the noble gas elements. The fluoride ion (F ), for example, has a total of ten electrons, eight of which fill its outermost energylevel. F has chemical properties, therefore, similar to those of the noble gas neon.Shown below are the Lewis electron dot structures for five elements: sulfur (S), chlorine (Cl),argon (Ar), potassium (K), and calcium (Ca).
