position and trend in the perodic table and advantage and disadvantages of perodic table?
Answers
ADVANTAGES
- Systematic and scientific study of elements
By knowing the properties of elements in a particular group , the properties of the rest of the elements can be predicted.
- Discovery of new elements
Mendeleev left some gaps for the elements to be identified.
He called these elements as:
- Eka Boron (Scandium)
- Eka Silicon(Germanium)
- Eka Aluminium(Gallium)
- Correction of doubtful atomic masses.
His periodic table helped in correcting the atomic masses of some elements based on their positions in the periodic table.
DISADVANTAGES
- Position of hydrogen
a correct position for H could not be assigned in the periodic table. Hydrogen could be placed both in alkali as well as halogen group.
- Anomalous position of some elements
In some cases elements with higher atomic mass preceded the elements with lower atomic mass.
- position of isotopes
Periodic table is based on atomic weight. So isotopes should be placed in different position.
- Grouping of Elements
some similar elements seperated and dissimilar elements were grouped together.
- Position of lanthanides and actinides
They were not given proper places in the periodic table.
- Position of metals and non metals.
Most of the groups were mixed groups,containing of metals,non-metals and metalloids.
- Force of periodicity
He didn't explain the force of periodicity among the elements.
- position for noble gases
Mendeeleev's original periodic table did not indicate any of the noble gases, which were discovered later . They were added by Sir William Ramsay as group zero, without the disturbance to the basic concept of periodic table.
