What is the need for classification of elements?
Advertisements
Solution
It is impossible for a chemist to study all the elements and their compounds. Hence, classification is a must.
Following are the reasons for the classification of elements:
- To study elements better
- To correlate the properties of the elements with some fundamental properties which are characteristic of all the elements
- To reveal relationships between elements
