write the abnormalies of Mendeleev's Periodic table?
Answers
Answer:
Some elements with similar properties were placed in different groups and those with dissimilar properties were placed in same group. Some elements with similar properties were placed in different groups and those with dissimilar properties were placed in same group.

Explanation:
1. The whole number atomic mass of the elements cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni) is the same.
Therefore there was an ambiguity regarding their sequence in Mendeleev’s periodic
table.
2. Isotopes were discovered long time after Mendeleev put forth the periodic table. As
isotopes have the same chemical properties but different atomic masses, a challenge
was posed in placing them in Mendeleev’s periodic table.
3. When elements are arranged in an increasing order of atomic masses, the rise in atomic
mass does not appear to be uniform. It was not possible, therefore, to predict how many
elements could be discovered between two heavy elements.
4. Position of hydrogen : Hydrogen shows
similarity with halogens (group VII). For
example, the molecular formula of
hydrogen is H2
while the molecular
formulae of fluorine and chlorine are F2
and Cl2
, respectively. In the same way,
there is a similarity in the chemical
properties of hydrogen and alkali metals
(groupI). There is a similarity in the
molecular formulae of the compounds of
hydrogen alkali metals (Na, K, etc) formed
with chlorine and oxygen. On considering
the above propereties it can not be decided
whether the correct position of hydrogen is
in the group of alkali metals (group I) or in group of halogens
