History of the periodic table

Cards (13)

  • Mendeleev's Periodic Table had 63 elements listed with their properties and uses.
  • Dmitri Mendeleev arranged elements based on their atomic weight, but he left gaps where there were missing elements.
  • The first modern version of the periodic table was published by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869.
  • In 1870…
    John Newlands proposed that elements could be arranged in groups according to increasing atomic weight, with every eighth element having similar chemical properties.
  • Dmitri Mendeleev published his first version of the periodic table in 1869, which included gaps for undiscovered elements.
  • Mendeleev's periodic table had gaps where elements were not yet discovered, but he predicted their properties based on his understanding of atomic structure.
  • Newlands' law of octaves was not widely accepted due to its lack of predictive power.
  • In 1869, John Newlands arranged elements by atomic weight and noticed that every eighth element had similar properties.
  • Newlands' law of octaves is considered an early form of the periodic table.
  • In 1870, John Newlands proposed his law of octaves, which stated that every eighth element had similar chemical properties to the one before it.
  • Mendeleev's periodic table arranged elements based on their atomic weights, with gaps left for undiscovered elements that he predicted would have certain properties.
  • Mendeleev's periodic law states that when elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic mass, their properties periodically repeat themselves.
  • Mendeleevs table helped predict the existence of undiscovered elements such as gallium (Ga) and germanium
