What to Focus On

  • About 118 elements are known.
  • Mendeleev developed the Periodic Law in 1869.
  • A periodic table groups similar elements in the same vertical column.

  • Mendeleev’s law uses atomic weights.
  • He predicted properties of undiscovered elements.
  • Beryllium’s atomic mass was corrected to 9.

  • Modern Periodic Law is based on atomic number.
  • The long form periodic table has 7 periods and 18 groups.
  • The table is divided into s, p, d, and f blocks.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mendeleev’s periodic table was based on atomic number.

The periodic table must always follow increasing atomic mass strictly.

Hydrogen belongs only to Group 1 and behaves exactly like alkali metals.
