Questions and Answers

Why was it challenging to place isotopes in Mendeleev's periodic table?

  • Isotopes have different chemical properties but the same atomic masses.
  • Isotopes have both different atomic masses and different chemical properties.
  • Isotopes have different atomic masses but the same chemical properties. (correct)
  • Isotopes have a different number of protons and electrons.
  • Why was it difficult to predict the number of elements that could be discovered between two heavy elements?

  • The rise in atomic mass was uniform when elements were arranged in order of increasing atomic masses.
  • There was no relation between atomic mass and element discovery.
  • The rise in atomic mass was not uniform when elements were arranged in order of increasing atomic masses. (correct)
  • Mendeleev's periodic table did not account for heavy elements.
  • What similarity does hydrogen share with halogens according to the text?

  • Hydrogen has the same atomic mass as halogens.
  • Hydrogen forms similar compounds with halogens as with alkali metals. (correct)
  • The molecular formulae of hydrogen compounds are different from those of halogens.
  • Hydrogen has different chemical properties compared to halogens.
