1. Historical Periodic Classification

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Döbereiner's Triads : Groups of three elements with similar chemical properties in which the atomic mass of the middle element was approximately the arithmetic mean of the first and third.
  • Newlands' Law of Octaves : Stated in 1866 that, after arranging elements by increasing atomic mass, certain properties repeated at every eighth element.

★ Must-know

  • Mendeleev arranged elements by increasing atomic mass and stated that their physical and chemical properties were periodic functions of atomic masses.

Further detail

  • Mendeleev predicted new elements including scandium, gallium and germanium, enabled systematic study of elements, and helped correct some atomic masses.

What were Döbereiner's Triads proposed in 1829?

Groups of three elements with similar chemical properties and middle atomic mass as the mean of the other two.

What did Newlands' Law of Octaves state in 1866?

Certain properties repeated every eighth element when arranged by increasing atomic mass.

How did Mendeleev arrange elements in his periodic classification?

By increasing atomic mass.

What periodic function did Mendeleev state for elements' properties?

Physical and chemical properties were periodic functions of atomic masses.

Which new elements did Mendeleev predict?

Scandium, gallium, and germanium.

How did Mendeleev's work help the study of elements?

It enabled systematic study and helped correct some atomic masses.
