Ques 1: Did Dobereiner’s triads also exist in the columns of Newland’s Octaves? Compare and  find out.  

Ans 1: Only one triad of Dobereiner’s triads exists in the columns of Newland’s octaves. The  triad formed by the elements Lithium ,Sodium , and Potassium of Dobereiner’s triads also occurred in the columns of Newland’s octaves.



Ques 2: What were the limitations of Dobereiner’s classification? 

Ans 2: Limitation of Dobereiner’s classification: All known elements could not be classified into groups of triads on the basis of their  properties. 

Ques 3: What were the limitations of Newland’s Law of Octaves?  

Ans 3: Limitations of Newland’s law of octaves:  

a) It was not applicable through out the arrangements. It was applicable up to calcium only. The properties of the elements listed after calcium showed no resemblance  to the properties of the elements above them.  

b) Those elements that were discovered after Newland’s octaves did not follow the  
law of octaves. 

c) The position of cobalt and nickel in the group of the elements (F, Cl, B r) of different properties could not be explained. 

d) Placing of iron far away from cobalt and nickel, which have similar properties as 
iron, could also not be explained.

Ques 1: Use Mendeleev’s Periodic Table to predict the formulae for the oxides of the following  elements: K, C, Al, Si, B a.  

Ans 1: K is in group 1. Therefore, the oxide will be K2O. 

C is in group 4. Therefore, the oxide will be CO2.

Al is in group 3. Therefore, the oxide will be Al2O3  

Si is in group 4. Therefore, the oxide will be SiO2.

Ba is in group 2. Therefore, the oxide will be Ba O. 

Ques 2: Besides gallium(G a), which other elements have since been discovered that were left by Mendeleev in his Periodic Table? (any two)  

Ans 2: Scandium(S c) and germanium(G e) 

Ques 3: What were the criteria used by Mendeleev in creating his Periodic Table?  

Ans 3: Mendeleev’s periodic table was based on the observation that the properties of elements  are a periodic function of their atomic masses. This means that if elements are arranged  in the increasing order of their atomic masses, then their properties get repeated after regular intervals(repetition is known as periodicity).  

Ques 4: Why do you think that the noble gases are placed in a separate group?  

Ans 4: Noble gases are also known as inert elements. Their properties are different from the all other elements in the periodic table. Therefore, the noble gases are placed in a separate group.

Ques 1: How could the Modern Periodic Table remove various anomalies of Mendeleev’s Periodic  Table?  

Ans 1: Mendeleev was unable to give fixed position to hydrogen and isotopes in the periodic table. In Mendeleev’s periodic table, the increasing manner of atomic mass of the elements is  not always regular from one to its next. It was believed that a more fundamental property  than atomic mass could explain periodic properties in a better manner. It as Henry Moseley who demonstrated that atomic number of an element could explain periodic properties in a better way than atomic mass of an element and arranged the elements in increasing order of their atomic numbers. Then it was found that the various anomalies of Mendeleev’s periodic table were removed by the modern periodic table.  

Ques 2: Name two elements you would expect to show chemical reactions similar to magnesium(Mg).  What is the basis for your choice?  

Ans 2: Calcium (C a) and strontium (S r) are expected to show chemical reactions similar to  magnesium (Mg). This is because the no. of valence electrons is 2 is same in all these three elements. And since chemical properties are due to the valence electrons, they show same chemical reactions.  

Ques 3: Name  

(a) three elements that have a single electron in their outermost shells.

(b)two elements that have two electrons in their valence shells.

(c) three elements with filled outermost shells.

Ans 3: (a) Lithium (L i), sodium (Na), and potassium (K) have a single electron in their outermost shells.  

(b)Magnesium (Mg) and calcium (C a) have two electrons in their outermost shells.

(c) Neon (N e), argon (A r), and xenon (X e) have filled outermost shells.

Ques 4: (a) Lithium, sodium, potassium are all metals that react with water to liberate  hydrogen gas. Is there any similarity in the atoms of these elements?  

(b) Helium(He) is an unreactive gas and neon is a gas of extremely low reactivity. What, if anything, do their atoms have in common?  

Ans 4: (a) Yes. The atoms of all the three elements lithium(Li), sodium(Na) , and potassium(K) have one  electron in their outermost shells.  

(b) Both helium (He) and neon (N e) have filled outermost shells. Helium(He) has a duplet in its K shell, while neon(N e) has an octet in its L shell.  

Ques 5: In the Modern Periodic Table, which are the metals among the first ten elements?  

Ans 5: Among the first ten elements, lithium (L i) and beryllium (Be) are metals.  

Ques 6: By considering their position in the Periodic Table, which one of the following elements would you expect to have maximum metallic characteristic?  

           G a,    G e,   A s,    S e,   B e

Ans 6: Since Be lies to the extreme left hand side of the periodic table, Be is the most metallic  among the given elements.

QUANTUM NUMBERS (Principal, Azimuthal, Magnetic and Spin)

                  QUANTUM NUMBERS  Orbitals represent regions in the space around the nucleus where the probability of finding the electron is maximum. A large number of electron orbitals are possible in atom. These can be distinguished by their size, shape and orientation of the orbitals. To describe each electron in an atom in different orbitals, we need a set of three numbers known as quantum numbers. These are designated as n, l and m. In addition to these three numbers another quantum number is also needed which specifies the spin of the electron. These four numbers are called quantum numbers. These are discussed below: 1. Principal quantum number (n) :  This quantum number determines the main energy shell or level in which the electron is present. It is denoted by n. It can have whole number values starting from 1 such as n = 1, 2, 3, 4 ... This quantum number also identifies as shell. The shell with n 1 is called the first sh...

Diagonal Relationship between Beryllium and Aluminium || Relation between Beryllium and Aluminium

-
  Diagonal Relationship between Beryllium and Aluminium The ionic radius of Beryllium (Be 2+) is estimated to be nearly 31 pm; the charge/radius ratio Or e/m ratio is nearly the same as that of the Al 3+ ion. Hence beryllium resembles aluminium in these ways. Some of the similarities are given below: » Like Aluminium, Beryllium(be) is not readily attacked by acids H+ donor because of the formation of an oxide film on the surface of the metal by reacting with oxygen, i.e. they are rendered passive by nitric acid. » Beryllium hydroxide[[Be(OH)4]2] dissolves in excess of alkali to give a beryllate ion, [ Be(OH)4]2– just as aluminium hydroxide[Al(OH)3] gives aluminate ion, [Al(OH)4] » The chlorides of metals beryllium and aluminium have Cl– bridged chloride structure in vapour phase. Both the chlorides are soluble in organic solvents and are strong as Lewis acids They are used as Friedel Craft catalysts. » Beryllium(Be) and aluminium(Al) ions have strong tendency to form complexes, (Be...

 The solar system consists of the Sun, which is a star at its center, and all the celestial bodies bound by its gravitational pull. These bodies include planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other objects. Key Components of the Solar System: The Sun : The Sun is the center of the solar system and contains about 99.86% of its mass. It is a star primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, providing the heat and light that sustains life on Earth. Planets : There are eight recognized planets in the solar system: Mercury : The closest planet to the Sun, known for extreme temperature variations and no atmosphere. Venus : Similar in size to Earth but with a thick, toxic atmosphere and surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. Earth : The third planet from the Sun, the only known planet to support life, with water and a breathable atmosphere. Mars : Known as the Red Planet, it has a cold, dry surface and signs of past water. Jupiter : The largest planet, a gas giant, w...
