name the elements having different properties are placed in same groups by gandu mendeleev
Answers
The important property that Mendeleev used for the classification of elements was atomic weight. He arranged all known elements in the form of periodic table. Some of the elements did not fit very well if the order of atomic weight was strictly followed. For these elements, he ignored the order of atomic weight (as atomic weight measurements can be incorrect) and placed the elements with similar properties together. Thus, iodine having lower atomic weight than tellurium (of group VI) was placed in group VII along with fluorine, chlorine and bromine due to similar properties and left some gaps for undiscovered elements.
By considering the properties the adjacent elements, he predicted the properties of undiscovered elements. Later on, these elements were discovered and their properties were similar to those predicted by Mendeleev.
Thus, Mendeleev left gaps for gallium and germanium. He named these elements as eka-aluminium and eka-silicon. When these elements were discovered, their properties were similar to those predicted by Mendeleev.
Explanation:
Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev, a Russian scientist arranged the elements in increasing order of their relative atomic masses. He was honoured with Noble prize in 1906 for his Periodic Table.
Mendeleev’s Periodic Law states that the properties of elements are the periodic function of their relative atomic masses.
Mendeleev arranged all 63 elements; which were discovered till his time; in the order of their increasing relative atomic masses in a tabular form. It is known as Mendeleev’s Periodic Table. He divided the table in eight columns and seven rows. The columns are known as groups and rows are known as periods.
