In 1863 56 known elements were discovered. Mendeleev's first attempt*) resulted in 9 elements in three rows (periods) and three groups (-1, +1, +2 valence groups):

  • Cl - K - Ca
  • Br -Rb -Sr
  • I - Cs - Ba
*) cit. from wikipedia :

"I saw in a dream a table where all elements fell into place as required. Awakening, I immediately wrote it down on a piece of paper, only in one place did a correction later seem necessary."

Who is mendeleevs?

Dmitri Mendeleev was a Russian chemist; he proposed the modern Periodic Table of elements in 1869.


What were mendeleevs discoveries and predictions and discoveries abot the periodic table?

Mendeleev predicted that properties of elements are periodic function of atomic mass. He demonstrated it by creating a table.

Why the improvement in Mendeleevs periodic table was made?

To understand the concept of Periodic Table


Mendeleevs periodic table of elements was created in 1901?

Actually, Dmitri Mendeleev formulated the periodic law and published his periodic table of elements in 1869. This table arranged elements by increasing atomic mass and grouped them based on similar properties, predicting the properties of missing elements. It was a significant contribution to the field of chemistry.


How was mendeleevs periodic table like todays periodic table?

Mendeleev's periodic table arranged elements by increasing atomic mass and grouped elements with similar properties together. Today's periodic table is similar, but it is arranged by increasing atomic number, which reflects the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. Both tables also show periodic trends in properties as you move across and down the table.


Why did scientists try to improve Mendeleevs table?

Scientists tried to improve Mendeleev's periodic table to account for the discovery of new elements, better organize elements based on their properties, and to address inconsistencies in the original table. This led to the development of the modern periodic table with elements arranged in increasing atomic number and grouped based on similarities in chemical properties.


Why is the mendeleevs table called the periodic table?

Because the properties of the elements change in a periodic fashion. In the early versions, when fewer elements were known, the chemically similar elements were thought to occur every eight positions.


What was Mendeleevs proposal?

Dmitri Mendeleev was a Russian chemist who proposed the Periodic Law. He published the first periodic table of the chemical elements in 1869, based on the increasing atomic masses of the different elements.
