Classification was used when scientists grouped chlorine with other natural elements in the periodic table based on their properties and characteristics.


How are the elements grouped?

Literal groups are by similar chemical properties (alkaline earth, halogens, etc.). Elements are arranged by atomic number (number of protons) and are grouped also by their state of matter. For example, metals are in the middle, liquids are grouped together, and except for Helium, gases are as well.


Did mendeleev group the elements by density?

No, Mendeleev grouped the elements by atomic mass and chemical properties to create the periodic table. While there may be some correlation between element density and position on the periodic table, density was not the primary factor Mendeleev used for organization.


Is the Periodic table a chart of compounds grouped according to their properties?

No, the periodic table is a chart of elements arranged by their atomic number and chemical properties, not compounds. It provides information on elements' atomic structure, such as their electron configuration and reactivity, rather than compounds formed by combining elements.


How are the elements on a periodic table grouped?

the periodic table is grouped according to similarities. when Mendeleev grouped his first periodic table they followed a pattern. any elements that contained similarities they were all put into the same column.
