What are 3 facts and a fib about the periodic table?

Answer 1

Mendeleev found that he could arrange the 65 elements that were then known, in a grid or table so that each element had a higher atomic weight than the one on its left and similar chemical properties to other elements in the same column. In his table he noted gaps - spaces where elements should be but none had yet been discovered In fact just as Adams and LeVerrier could be said to have discovered the plant Neptune on paper, Mendeleev could be said to have discovered silicon, because he observed a gap between silicon and tin, aluminum and boron, on paper, for he predicted their existence and their properties before their actual discoveries.

Answer 2

Facts:

The rows arrange the elements in groups that have similar characteristics.

You can find the molecular mass of compounds using the periodic table.

J is the only letter that doesn't appear in any name of periodic table element (q appears in ununquadium)

Fib: The Periodic Table of elements wasn't completely invented by Dimitry Mendeleyev; there were many contributors, and he just wanted to have some credit as a professor after he wasn't recognized somewhere else

Answer 3
