Study Notes
Mendeleev's Classification of the Elements
- The earliest version of the current form of the periodic table was presented simultaneously by Dimitri Mendeleev of Russia and Luthar Meyer of Germany.
- Both scientists arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic weights and observed that elements with similar properties (in families) appeared at regular intervals.
Mendeleev's Periodic Law
- Mendeleev's periodic law states that the physical and chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights.
- In 1871, Mendeleev published a short periodic table consisting of only 63 elements.
- Inert gases were not included in the table as they were not discovered at that time.
- The elements were arranged in seven horizontal rows called periods and eight vertical columns called groups.
- Vacant sites were specified for undiscovered elements, and their properties were predicted.
- These predictions were later verified when the elements were discovered.
