Limitations of Mandeleev’s periodic table : Inspite of many advantages, the Mendeleev’s periodic table has certain defects also. Some of these are given below ;
(A) Position of hydrogen : Position of hydrogen in the periodic table is uncertain. It has been placed in 1A group with alkali metals, but certain properties of hydrogen resemble those of halogens. So, it may be placed in the group for halogens as well.
(B) Position of isotopes : Isotopes are the atoms of the same element having different atomic masses. Therefore, according to Mendeleev’s classification these should be placed at different places depending upon their atomic masses. For example, hydrogen isotopes with atomic masses 1,2 and 3 should be placed at three places. However, isotopes have not been given separate places in the periodic table because of their similar properties.
(C) Anomalous pairs of elements “ In certain pair of elements, the increasing order of atomic masses was not obeyed. In these, Mendeleev placed elements according to similarities in their properties and not in increasing order of their atomic masses.

Limitations are as follows:-
I) POSITION OF HYDROGEN:- Could not assign a correct position to hydrogen as hydrogen resembles alkali metals as well as halogens
ii) POSITION OF ISOTOPES:- Isotopes are placed in same position though they have different atomic masses
iii) Separation of chemically similar elements while dissimilar elements are placed in the same group
