What is the basic difference in approach between the Mendeleev’s Periodic Law and the Modern Periodic Law?
A Russian chemist, Dmitri Mendeleev was the first to develop a periodic table and he gave a law called Mendeleev periodic law which states that the physical and chemical properties of the elements are a periodic function of their atomic masses. In his periodic table the elements are arranged in vertical rows called groups and horizontal rows known as periods.There are nine groups and seven periods. He arranged only 60 elements in periodic table.
A English physicist Moseley, in 1913 gave a modern periodic law which states that the physical and chemical properties of the elements are the periodic function of their atomic number. This law becomes the base of modern periodic law. In modern periodic table, there are 18 groups and 7 periods.
The first (ΔiH1) and the second (ΔiH) ionization enthalpies (in kJ mol–1) and the (ΔegH) electron gain enthalpy (in kJ mol–1) of a few elements are given below:
Elements | ΔiH1 | ΔiH | ΔegH |
I | 520 | 7300 | -60 |
II | 419 | 3051 | -48 |
III | 1681 | 3374 | -328 |
IV | 1008 | 1846 | -295 |
V | 2372 | 5251 | +48 |
VI | 738 | 1451 | -40 |
Which of the above elements is likely to be :
(a) the least reactive element.
(b) the most reactive metal.
(c) the most reactive non-metal.
(d) the least reactive non-metal.
(e) the metal which can form a stable binary halide of the formula MX2, (X=halogen).
(f) the metal which can form a predominantly stable covalent halide of the formula MX (X=halogen)?
