What did Mendeleev do?
Made the original periodic table.
What did Meyer do?
Also made the periodic table but right after Mendeleev so he gained no credit.
What did Moseley discover about the periodic table?
There is an atomic number for each element. (Better Classification)
How did Lavoisier change chemistry?
Change from a science of observation to the science of measurement that it is today.
What did Newlands discover about the periodic table?
Law of Octaves
What’s a triad?
A group of three elements with similar properties.
What’s the periodic law?
When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical properties.
What’s a period?
A row of a periodic table.
What’s a group or family?
A column of the periodic table.
What’s metal?
Elements that are generally shiny solids at room temperature. They are good conductors of heat & electricity.

What are the representative elements?
Groups 1A - 7A elements. These elements have their s or p sublevels unfilled.
What are transition metals?
Elements that their highest d sublevel is unfilled.
What are inner transition metals?
Elements with their highest f sublevel unfilled.
