Answer:
DEMERITS OF MENDELEEV'S PERIODIC TABLE ARE :-
★ Mendeleev could not assign a correct position to hydrogen in the period tables as hydrogen resembles alkali metals as well as halogens.
★ Isotopes had to be given the same Position in the periodic table though isotopes of the same element have different atomic masses.
★ Some elements placed in the same sub- group varies in their properties. Manganese is placed with halogens which totally differ in their properties.
★ It was observed at the certain places, an element of higher atomic mass cobalt ( Co= 58.93) has been placed over an element of lower atomic mass nickle (Ni=58.71) .

Demerits of Mendeleev Periodic Table
- He was unable to locate hydrogen in the periodic table.
- Increase in atomic mass was not regular while moving from one element to another. Hence, the number of elements yet to be discovered was not predictable.
- Later on, isotopes of elements were found which violated Mendeleev’s periodic law.
