Question

limitations of Mendeleev's periodic classification in short

Answer 1

1. Position of hydrogen:- hydrogen resembles both, alkali metals (IA) and the halogens (VIIA) in properties so Mendeleev could not decide where to place it.

2. Position of Isotopes:- As atomic weight of Isotopes differ, they should have been placed in different position in Mendeleev's periodic table. But there was no such places for Isotopes in his table.

3. Cause of periodicity:- Why physical and chemical properties repeated in a group.

4. Anamolous pairs of elements:- There were some pair of elements which did not follow increasing order of atomic weights.

Example: Ar&K, Te&I, Co&Ni, Th&Pa  

5. Gaps in his period table:- Mendeleev left several gaps in his periodic table, proposing that some of the elements were still undiscovered

Example: Eka Aluminium - Gallium(Ga), Eka Silicon - Germanium(Ge), Eka Boron - Scandium(Sc), Eka Mangenese - Technetium(Tc).

6. Like elements were placed in different groups.

Example: Platinum (Pt) and Gold(Au) have similar properties but were placed in different groups Pt(VIII) and Au(IB).

7. Unlike elements were placed in same groups.

Example: Cu, Ag and Au were placed in Ist group with Na, K etc while they differ in their properties.

Answer 2

hey mate here is your answer.

Limitations of mendeelev's periodic classification are -

✔position of isotops couldn't be explained

✔no fix position for hydrogen

✔wrong order of atomic masses of some elements couldn't be explained

hope this may be helpfull to you ☺☺✌

pls mark as brainlist if its helpfull to you
