Reactivity Trends on the Periodic Use the drop-down menus to complete each sentence. Elements in the same have the same number of valence electrons. Elements in the same have the same number of electron shells. Metallic elements become reactive as you move left to right in a period. Metallic elements become v reactive as you move top to bottom in a group.

What refinements had to be made in Daltons atomic theory to account for Gay-Lussacs results on the combining volumes of gases?
2.40 What distinguished the work of Mendeleev that caused scientists to accept his concept of the periodic table when others before him were not believed?
What is meant by anuclear atom? Describe the points of Ruth erford’s model for the nuclear atom and how he tested this model. Based on his experiments, how did Rutherford envision the structure of the atom? How did Rutherford’s model of the atom’s structure differ from Kelvin’s “plum pudding” model?
Reaction of 2.0 L of hydrogen gas with 1.0 L of oxygen gas yields 2.0 L of water vapor. All gases are at the same temperature and pressure. Show how these data support the idea that oxygen gas is a diatomic molecule. Must we consider hydrogen to be a diatomic molecule to explain these results?
The symbols for most elements are based on the first few letters of the respective element’s common English name. In some cases, however, the symbol seems to have nothing to do with the element’s common name. Give three examples of elements whose symbols are not directly derived from the element’s common English name.

One of the best indications of a useful theory is that it raises more questions for further experimentation than it originally answered. Does this apply to Daltons atomic theory? Give examples.
2.42 What is a period in the periodic table? From what does it derive its name?
Are most elements found in nature in the elemental or the combined form? Why? Name several elements that are usually found in the elemental form.
2.84 Early attempts to arrange the elements often focused on atomic weight. Mendeleev considered a number of properties in addition to atomic weight, so he realized that some elements seemed out of place when ordered by atomic weight. Using the modern periodic table, identify elements for which Mendeleev must have had to switch the order in order to get the correct sequence of elements.
