Q1. Did Dobereiner's triads also exist in the columns of newlands octaves compare and find out  ? 

Answer  - Dobereiner's triads also exist in the column of newland octaves  

Ex- Lithium ( Li) , Sodium (Na) and Potassium(K) institute of trades if we consider Li as a first element then the eight element from it is Na and if we consider Na as the first element then the eight element from it is K

Q2. What were the limitations of Dobereiner's classification 

Answer  -

  •  Dobereiner's only form 3 traits from the elements known at that time 
  • The classification of known elements could not be possible on the basis of Dobereiner's traits

Q3. What were the limitations of Newlands law of octaves ?

Answer  

The Newland law of octaves has following limitations 

  • This law was applicable only upto calcium after calcium every at element did not possess the same properties similar to first one. 
  •  Newland assume that only 56 elements existed in nature and no more elements would be discovered in future 
  • In order to fit elements into his stable new learns at just two elements in the same slot and also put some unlike elements under the same column 
  • Ex. - Cobalt and nickel are in the same slot 

                Page number 85 

Q4. Use Mendeleev 's periodic table to predict the formula for the oxides of the following element

Q6. What were the criteria used by Mendeleev in creating his periodic table ? 

Answer -  The arrangement of elements in increasing order of atomic masses 

Similarity in chemical properties of element

Q7. Why do you think the noble gases are placed in a separate group ?  

Answer -  Noble gases have a complete octet hence they are very stable they are also called in inert gases they do not react with other elements due to their stability so they are placed in a separate group

                     Page number 90 

Q8.  How could the modern periodic table remove various anomalies of Mendeleev periodic table ? 

Answer -  

  • Modern periodic table is based on the atomic number
