Why is the periodic table is so useful?

It helps people find elements on the periodic table.yes that and more it also tells you the atomic number and mass of those elements


What method did Mendeleev use to organize the periodic table of elements?

An element's atomic number, or how many protons it has.


Did Maxwell create and early periodic table?

Maxwell is not a Russian scientist! It is the the brand name of an obsolete American automobile- popular with the comedian Jack Benny. Dimitri Mendeleev was the Russian scientist you seek. He died in l907. Mendeleev was a government scientist of the Imperial Bureau of Standards and as you stated he created the modern Periodic table of the elements- which is basic to the study of Chemistry. For some odd reason- maybe because he was a government scientist- he was never awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry despite being eligible as the prizes began in l900 and he lived until l907. One would think he was a Nobel candidate- with such a major contribution to chemistry- still in everyday use though new elements come up all the time!


Why is the periodic table more successful than other proceeding attempts?

Because the elements are grouped according to similar characteristics. Even by knowing where an element is on the periodic table based solely on its proton number, we can still predict its properties by using its position on the periodic table.


How is the Periodic Table used as a tool to study chemistry?

A periodic table is used to sort the 114 elements known to man. It is sorted in groups (alkalis, halogens, noble gases) and according to the number of electrons the elements have.

What kind of information scientist seek when using models to study atoms?

The modern model explains why most elements react with other elements while a few elements hardly react at all.


Who is the creator of the periodic table and why?

Dmitri Mendeleev is credited with creating the periodic table. He organized the elements in a way that grouped those with similar properties together and left gaps for undiscovered elements, correctly predicting their properties. Mendeleev's work laid the foundation for our modern understanding of the periodic table and its organization.

Why is the modern periodic table useful?

The modern periodic table is useful because it organizes elements based on their atomic number and similar chemical properties. This arrangement helps predict the behavior of elements, their reactivity, and their physical properties. It also provides a systematic way to study and understand the relationships between different elements.


What is the usefulness of the arrangement of the elements in the periodic table?

It is easier to study the properties of elements if they are classified.


Why is the periodic table so valuablee for chemists?

Periodic table group elements with similar properties together. It makes study of elements easier for chemists.


What atomic number does sodium have on the periodic table?
