Question
State the merits of Mendeleev's classification of elements.
Advertisements
Solution
Merits of Mendeleev's classification of elements:
- Grouping of elements
- Gaps for undiscovered elements: Mendeleev left some gaps in his periodic table for subsequent inclusion of elements not known at that time.
- He predicted the properties of the then-unknown elements on the basis of properties of elements lying adjacent to the vacant slots (eka-aluminum and eka-silicon).
