Answer

Doberiener’s law of Triads

“Central atom of each set of triad has an atomic mass average of the atomic masses of the other two elements.”

For example,

calcium (40), strontium (88) and barium (137) in which atomic mass of strontium is average of atomic masses of calcium and barium.





Newland’s law of Octaves

In 1864, an English industrial chemist John Newland proposed his Law of Octave accordingly:

 

“If the elements are arranged in the ascending order of their atomic weights, the eighth (8th) element following any given element in the series has nearly same properties as first one i.e. its properties are a kind of repetition of the first.”

 

For example, Na is the 8th element from Li has similar properties, Mg is the 8th element following Be and has same properties etc. 




Answer

Mendeleev’s Periodic law

“The properties of the elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights.”

 

Periodicity

The Periodicity means” Repetition of something after fixed interval”. The Periodicity of properties means that elements are arranged in an Order where properties of elements repeat after some period.

 

modern periodic law

The physical and chemical properties of all elements are the periodic function of their atomic numbers.

 

periodic trend

The variation in properties of elements along a period in the periodic table is called periodic trend.

 

Lanthanides

The 14 elements series of f-block elements in 6th period in the periodic table after 57La in which 4f orbital is filled is called lanthanides series. It is from 58Ce to 71Lu.

 

Trans Uranium elements

The elements following uranium in the periodic table are called trans uranium elements e.g. Es






Answer

Atomic number is a fundamental property of an atom because it increases regularly element to element and is fixed for every elements. Atomic number also provides the electronic configuration of elements of periodic table.

 

A British physicist, Henry Moseley in 1914 showed that atomic number (number of protons) of an atom is the fundamental and basic property. The modern periodic table is the result of discovery of atomic number by Moseley in 1914. Based on the concept of atomic number Bohr, Werner and Bury proposed the modern periodic law which states that:

 

The physical and chemical properties of all elements are the periodic function of their atomic numbers.

 

 

Basis of Classification

The periodic classification of elements is based on periodicity, due to which the elements having similar properties are repeated at regular intervals. As atomic number is related to the number of protons in an atom, so the real basis of periodicity of properties is due to recurrence of identical valence shell electronic configuration of the next element in the same group.

 

The periodic table is a tabular form of the known elements in which elements are placed in the increasing order of their atomic number or electronic structure (configuration) so that many chemical properties vary regularly across the table.

 

The modern periodic table based on Mosley’s Modern Periodic Law grounded on periodicity adopted by IUPAC in 1984 is also known as Bohr’s Long Form of Periodic Table (because it contains 16 groups or 18 vertical columns rather than 8 and 7 periods instead of 12).

 Answer

Lanthanides

The 14 elements series of f-block elements in 6th period in the periodic table after 57La in which 4f orbital is filled is called lanthanides series. It is from 58Ce to 71Lu.

Actinides

The 14 elements series of f-block elements in 7th period in the periodic table after 89Ac in which 5f orbital is filled is called actinides series. It is from 90Th to 103Lr.

 

Lanthanides and actinides are f-block elements in which f-orbital is progressively filled. 




 

 

 

Answer

Since element contains only two shells, its period is 2.

Since element has 5 valence electrons, its group is VA.

The element present in 2nd period belonging to group VA is nitrogen with Z = 7.

OR

Since element contains only two shells, its period is 2.

Since element has 4 valence electrons, its group is IVA.

The element present in 2nd period belonging to group IVA is carbon with Z = 6. 





Answer

Definition of Transition Elements

The elements in which besides the valence shell, penultimate shell is also incomplete i.e. in which electrons are in the process of occupying d or f sub-shells (orbitals) are called transition elements.

 

Characteristics of Transition Elements


1.  They all are metals.


2.  They show variable valencies (forming more than one type of ions) 

e.g. Cu1+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Fe3+ etc.


3.    Their valence shells are incomplete.


4.  They form coloured compounds 

e.g. ferric salts are brown.


5.   They all are paramagnetic except Zn, Cd, Hg.

 

Classification of Transition Elements

They consist of following types:


1.    Outer Transition Elements

The elements of sub-group B from IB, IIB, IIIB to VIIIB are called Outer Transition Elements which are characterized by filling of penultimate d-sub-shell with outer s-sub-shell. They have partially filled d-sub-shell. That is why they are called d-block elements. They consist of four series of 10 elements each.


2.    Inner Transition Elements

The elements which are characterized by filling of penultimate f sub-shell with outer s-sub-shell having partially filled f sub-shell are called Inner Transition Elements or f-block elements. They are placed at the bottom of the periodic table. They consist of two series of 14 elements each













Answer

In 1869 Mendeleev proposed a periodic law on the basis of physical and chemical properties empirically. which states that

“The properties of the elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights.”

 

Features of Mendeleev’s Table

The Mendeleev’s periodic table consisted of 8 vertical columns called groups (i.e. group I to VIII) containing similar elements and 12 horizontal rows called Series or Periods having dissimilar elements. The group number indicates the highest valency of the element of that group. In certain cases Mendeleev left gaps, which modified by Moseley.

 

Atomic number is a fundamental property of an atom because it increases regularly element to element and is fixed for every elements. Atomic number also provides the electronic configuration of elements of periodic table. It was noticed in arrangement of elements that atomic number increases from left to right in a horizontal row and properties of elements were found repeating after regular intervals. Due to this reason elements of same properties and same electronic configuration are placed in same group. 




Answer

Elements in the same group have same valence shell electronic configuration. Since chemical properties of elements depend on number of valence electrons or valence shell electronic configuration, hence elements in the same group have same chemical properties. For example all elements of group IA have same ns1 configuration so they have same chemical properties i.e. they all are metals, showing fixed valency of 1, forming ionic bond etc. 



















First period (shortest period)

1.             This period contains only two elements Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

2.  This period corresponds to filling up of K-shell.

 

Second and Third Period (Short Period; Period 2 and 3 are Short Periods as each contains 8 elements.


1.  Each periods contain eight elements (3Li to 10Ne and 11Na to 18Ar respectively)


2.  In these Periods L and M shells are being filled by electrons respectively.


3. Second period contains Li, Be, B, C, N, O,F and Ne.


4. Third period contains Na, Mg, Al, Si, P,S, Cl, and Ar.

 

Fourth and Fifth Period (Long Period; Period 4 and 5 are Long Periods as each contains 18 elements.


1. Each period contain 18 elements (19K to 36Kr and 37Rb to 54Xe respectively).


2.  In these periods N and O shells are being filled by electrons.


3.   Fourth period starts from Potassium (K) and ends on Krypton (Kr).


4. Fifth period starts from Rubidium (Rb) and ends on Xenon (Xe).

2.  This period starts from Francium (Fr)


3.  This period contains a group of 14 elements at the bottom known as Actinides.





Answer

The Periodicity means” Repetition of something after fixed interval”. The Periodicity of properties means that elements are arranged in an Order where properties of elements repeat after some period.

 

The periodic classification of elements is based on periodicity, due to which the elements having similar properties are repeated at regular intervals. As atomic number is related to the number of protons in an atom, so the real basis of periodicity of properties is due to recurrence of identical valence shell electronic configuration of the next element in the same group.

 

According to Modern Periodic Law, the properties of elements are periodic function of their atomic number which in turn is related to electronic configuration. The electronic configuration gives relationship between valency, I.P, E.A, Atomic Volume, E.N., Density, Metallic Character, M.P and B.P etc.
