The modern periodic table has been evolved through the early attempts of Dobereiner, Newland and Mendeleev. List one advantage and one limitation of all three attempts. |
|
Answer» Dobereiner Periodic Table Advantage: To predict the atomic mass of middle element in each triad. Limitation: Dobereiner could identify only three triads. Newland Periodic table Advantage: Every eighth element had properties similar to that of first/co-related the properties of elements with their atomic mass. Limitation: It was only applicable up to Calcium/only 56 elements and no future element. Mendeleev's Periodic Table Advantage: Elements with similar properties could be grouped / He predicted the existence of new elements that had not been discovered at that time. Limitation: No fixed position for hydrogen/position of isotopes/ Atomic masses do not increase in a regular manner. |
