Overview

Chemistry becomes systematic when elements are arranged according to a law that connects their properties. The periodic table organizes about 118 known elements so that elements with similar outer electronic configurations fall into the same group and show similar chemical behaviour. The modern form

Key Concepts

Elements form many compounds

Elements form many compounds, so a systematic arrangement is needed to make their study simpler. A good classification groups elements with similar pr

Prout proposed the unitary theory

Prout proposed the unitary theory. Döbereiner arranged elements in triads. Cooke grouped elements into homologous series. Newlands gave the law of oct

The physical and chemical properties

The physical and chemical properties of the elements and their compounds are periodic functions of their atomic weights. Mendeleev arranged known elem

The physical and chemical properties

The physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers. Moseley showed that atomic number is the most fun

The long form periodic table has

The long form periodic table has seven periods and eighteen groups. It is arranged by increasing atomic number and is closely linked with electronic c
