What to Focus On
- In 1800, 31 elements were known.
- By 1865, 63 elements were known.
- At present in the chapter context, 114 elements are known.
- Dobereiner’s Triads linked atomic weight with properties.
- de Chancourtois used a cylindrical arrangement in 1862.
- Newlands’ Law of Octaves worked only up to calcium.
- Mendeleev’s Periodic Law is based on atomic weights.
- He grouped elements by similar properties, not only by atomic weight order.
- He left gaps for undiscovered elements.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Hydrogen must belong firmly to Group 1 because it has one electron.
Helium belongs to the s-block only because its electronic configuration is 1s2, so it should be placed with Group 2 elements.
Zn, Cd, and Hg are transition elements because they are in the d-block.
