-to make room for new elements

-to classify them in terms of their behavior

-for easy recognition of elements

-so the (period) and the (groups) would align

The I2R company (probably best known for making lead donuts; or at least, that's what I mainly remember them for) used to publish calendars (okay, I lied: the calendars are what I mainly remember them for) with different styles of periodic tables. There was, for example, a circular (well, more of a spiral, with spikes) one, and one you were supposed to cut out and fold into a pyramid.

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.


How mandeleve made the first periodic table?

At first, he organized it by increasing atomic mass. This caused some continuity and periodicity problems, however, and was later reorganized by increasing atomic number. This worked better, and is the way we have it organized today.


How does one recognize a periodic trend on the periodic table-?

Periodic trends refer to the repeating pattern of properties of elements as you move across a period or down a group on the periodic table. These trends can be recognized by observing how a particular property (such as atomic radius, electronegativity, or ionization energy) changes in a predictable way based on the element's position in the table. By comparing the properties of elements in a specific order, you can identify and analyze periodic trends.


Who created the way to sort elements?

Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev created a periodic table to sort elements.


In 1869 Mendeleyev found that the properties of the elements went through?

In 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev arranged the elements in a periodic table based on their atomic weights and noticed that the properties of the elements appeared at regular intervals. This led him to predict the properties of undiscovered elements and paved the way for the modern periodic table we use today.

Was the periodic table always been set up the way it is today?

the periodic table is set up by atomic number, obviously. the atomic number is equal to the amount of protons, so the periodic table is set up by amount of proton order. During the time more than 100 versions of the periodic table were proposed. See the link bellow for some details; also the links of this...link.


Why is the periodic table arrange the way it is?

The periodic table is arranged by the Atomic Number


How can the periodic table of elements help you learn?

The periodic table is set out in a pattern that provides a great deal of information about the elements. Understanding the way the table is structured will help to understand how elements will behave and react. A study of the patterns will be a great aid in learning about chemicals and why they work in the way they do.


Will the periodic table always look this way?

The periodic table may change over time as new elements are discovered or as our understanding of atomic structure evolves. New elements can be added to the table, and their properties may lead to a reorganization of the elements. The overall layout and concepts of the periodic table are likely to remain consistent, but the specific details can change.


Which is the statement of the periodic table?

The basic idea is that when arranged in a certain way (the way presented in the periodic table), elements in the same column tend to have similar properties.


Who inruduce the periodic table of elements?

Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian scientist of the 19th century, is credited with organizing the periodic table the way we know it today. We have made minor changes to his arrangement over the years (and added a bunch more elements!) but the way he put it together still works.


What is the contribution of de chancourtois?

De Chancourtois is known for his contribution to the development of the early periodic table of elements. He arranged the elements in a spiral or helical format based on atomic weights, which foreshadowed the modern periodic table structure. This arrangement helped in understanding the periodic trends and relationships between elements, paving the way for the organization of elements we use today.


Why is the table of elements known as the periodic table?

It is called the periodic table because the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, showing periodic trends in their physical and chemical properties. These patterns repeat at regular intervals, or periods, across the table.


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.


Who made the first periodic table and how did he?

Dmitri Mendeleev is credited with creating the first periodic table in 1869. He arranged the elements by increasing atomic mass and noticed a pattern in the properties of elements when organized this way, leading to his periodic table.


He perfected the arrangement of the periodic table?

The periodic table is more like a collaborated set of work. Mendeleev started by arranging the elements by properties and mass. Then, Henry Moseley arranged it by atomic number and properties, which is what we use today. Then, Noble Gases were discovered, and those were added in. If you look at the periodic table, it's mostly arranged by mass, too. However, it's, of course, arranged by proton number.


What is a family how many are there in periodic table?

In chemistry, a family is a group of elements that have similar properties and react in a similar way. There are 18 families in the periodic table, each with their own unique characteristics and trends. These families are commonly referred to as groups and are labeled from 1 to 18 on the periodic table.
