Is The vertical columns on the periodic table of elements are called periods true?

No, the horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods. The vertical columns are called groups or families. Each period represents the number of electron shells an atom of an element has, while each group shares similar chemical properties.


True or false Au is the symbol for gold on the periodic table of elements?

True. Au is the symbol for gold on the periodic table of elements.


Is it true or false that Mendeleev and other scientists were able to use the periodic table to predict the properties of undiscovered elements?

True. Mendeleev and other scientists used the periodic table to predict the properties of undiscovered elements based on their position in the table. This led to the successful discovery and confirmation of elements like gallium and germanium.


Why was Newlands and periodic table rejected?

Newlands' periodic table was rejected because it had gaps and did not account for newly discovered elements. The periodic table was improved by Mendeleev's table, which arranged elements in order of increasing atomic weight and left gaps for undiscovered elements. This allowed for a more accurate prediction of the properties of missing elements.
