Explanation:
All existing matter in our surroundings is made up of basic units known as elements. Initially, in 1800, only 31 chemical elements were discovered. After some advancement in technology in 1865, about 63 more elements were discovered. This created the need for the periodic classification of elements.
Presently, there are 118 elements known to us. Out of these 118 chemical elements, some of the elements are man-made.
When there were only 31 elements it was relatively easy to study the properties of these chemical elements individually.
Now the number of elements has raised to 118, it would be very cumbersome to study the properties of every element individual.
In order to ease the work, scientists started thinking about a method so that the study of elements can be simplified.
They decided to organize the elements in a periodic table according to the information available about the elements and various characteristics shown by them.
