What are the merits of the Long Form of the Periodic Table? |
|
Answer» Merits of the Long Form of the Periodic Table • This classification is based on the most fundamental property of the • Elements - the atomic number, so it is more accurate. • With the atomic number as the basis of this classification, the position of isotopes in one place is justified. • The electronic configuration determines the properties of the elements. The position of elements governed by this feature is useful in studying the properties of elements. • The position of the elements, which were misfit on the basis of atomic mass is now justified on the basis of atomic number. • The lanthanides and actinides have been placed separately due to their properties being different from other groups. • The whole table is easy to remember and reproduce in terms of electronic configuration and properties of the elements. |
