Card 1Early Classification Systems

What is Döbereiner's Law of Triads?

Answer

When elements with similar properties are arranged in groups of three (triads) in ascending order of their atomic weights, the atomic weight of the middle element is approximately the average of the a

Card 2Early Classification Systems

State Newlands' Law of Octaves.

Answer

When elements are arranged in ascending order of their atomic weights, every eighth element has similar properties to the first element, just like musical octaves. However, this law failed for element

Card 3Mendeleev's Periodic Table

What is Mendeleev's Periodic Law?

Answer

The physical and chemical properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic weights. Mendeleev arranged elements in increasing order of atomic weights and predicted properties of missing e

Card 4Mendeleev's Periodic Table

What are the main limitations of Mendeleev's Periodic Table?

Answer

1. Anomalous pairs: Elements with higher atomic weight placed before those with lower atomic weight (Te before I) 2. Dissimilar elements in same group (alkali metals with coinage metals) 3. No place f

Card 5Modern Periodic Table

State the Modern Periodic Law.

Answer

The physical and chemical properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers. This law was proposed after Moseley's discovery that atomic number is more fundamental than atomic weig

Card 6Modern Periodic Table Structure

How many groups and periods are there in the modern periodic table?

Answer

The modern periodic table has 18 groups (vertical columns) and 7 periods (horizontal rows). Groups are numbered 1-18 according to IUPAC recommendations, replacing the old A and B subgroup system.

Card 7Modern Periodic Table Structure

What determines the period number of an element?

Answer

The period number is determined by the number of electron shells (energy levels) in the atom. For example, hydrogen and helium have 1 shell (Period 1), lithium to neon have 2 shells (Period 2), and so

Card 8Modern Periodic Table Structure

What determines the group number of an element?

Answer

The group number is determined by the number of valence electrons (electrons in the outermost shell). Elements with the same number of valence electrons are placed in the same group and show similar c
