function of their atomic masses.
According to Mendeleev, the properties of elements are a periodic
function of their ............

A. Atomic number

B. Atomic masses
 Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
There were seven periods (horizontal rows) and eight
groups (vertical columns) in the original periodic table
of Mendeleev.
How many periods were there in Mendeleev's periodic table?

A. 1 B. 5 C. 7 D. 8
How many groups were there in Mendeleev's periodic table?

A. 1 B. 5 C. 7 D. 8
Merits of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
Mendeleev’s periodic law predicted the existence of
some elements that had not been discovered at that
time.
Merits of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
Mendeleev’s periodic table could predict the
properties of several elements on the basis of their
positions in the periodic table.

The properties of the then undiscovered elements like

gallium, scandium and germanium were predicted in
this way.
Which element was named as eka-Silicon by Mendeleev?

A. Aluminium B. Germanium C. Silicon D. Gallium

Which element was named as eka-Aluminium by Mendeleev?

A. Germanium B. Gallium C. Scandium D. Sodium

Which element was named as eka-Boron by Mendeleev?

A. Germanium B. Scandium C. Aluminium D. Gallium

Merits of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
Mendeleev’s periodic table could accommodate noble
gases when they were discovered.
Which group was given to the noble gases in Mendeleev's periodic
table?

A. Group 1 B. Group 8 C. Group 5 D. Group 0

Demerits of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
The position of isotopes could not be explained.
 Isotopes
Isotopes are the atoms of the same element having
same atomic number and different mass number.
Isotopes have same

A. Atomic number

B. No. of protons

C. No. of neutrons

D. Both A and B
Isotopes are

A. Same elements

B. Different elements

C. Both A and B

D. None of these
Demerits of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
Wrong order of atomic masses of some elements could
not be explained.
The element cobalt having higher atomic mass of 58.9
comes first and nickel element with slightly lower
atomic mass of 58.7 comes later.
Which of the following element has a greater atomic mass?

A. Cobalt B. Nickel
Demerits of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
A correct position could not be assigned to hydrogen
in the periodic table.
Hydrogen shows properties common to which of the following groups?

A. Alkali metals

B. Alkaline earth metals

C. Halogens

D. Both A & C
