"The Periodic Table"

AB
Lavoisierclassified elements as metal, nonmetal, gas, earth
Dobereinerfound Triads
Triadsgroups of three elemets with similar properties
NewlandsLaw of Octaves
Law of Octavesin mass order properties repeat every 8 elements
Mendeleevperiodic table based on atomic masses
Moseleyperiodic table based on atomic number
periodrow in table of elements corresponds to energy leve
group / familycolumn in table of elements have similar electron configurations
atomic massweighted average of element's isotopes distribution in nature
atomic mass unitone twelfth the mass of carbon-12 atom
metalsmajority of elements; found on left of table
nonmetalsfewer elements; found on right of table
metalloidsfound on "stairs" between metals and nonmetals
valance electronselectrons in highest occupied energy level of an atom
alkali metalsLi, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr
