The modern periodic table is thought to be the outermost ground-state electron configuration of the elements. The elements are divided into categories; the representative elements, noble gases, the transition elements and the actinides. The representative elements …show more content…
In Mendeleev periodic table, there were gaps for un-discovered elements, but modern periodic table has a uniformity. Both of these classifications consider the periodic relationship in properties of the elements. Both, Mendeleev and Modern, periodic tables are used to predict chemical and physical properties of unknown elements.
Differences
Mendeleev’s periodic table has 8 vertical columns called groups and 12 horizontal rows called periods. The Modern periodic table has 18 columns called groups and 7 rows called periods.
Mendeleev’s periodic table has elements with dissimilar properties in the same group sometimes. The modern periodic table’s elements have similar properties repeated at regular intervals.
Mendeleev periodic table doesn’t support the fact of the existence of isotopes. Modern periodic table supports this fact as the classification is based upon the atomic number, rather than the atomic weight of the element.
Mendeleev periodic table doesn’t support the concept of the atomic structure. Modern periodic table supports this fact by grouping the elements in such a manner that their electronic configuration can be deduced …show more content…
He is highly regarded throughout the world, but especially in Russia and the former Soviet Union. In the United States, the American Chemical Society is an organization that advances the study of chemistry. The equivalent organization in Russia is called the Mendeleev Russian Chemical Society. There is also a moon crater and an element, number 101, mendelevium, named after him.
Help Reading The Table:
Atomic number: The number of protons in an atom is referred to as the atomic number of that element. The number of protons defines what element it is and also determines the chemical behavior of the element. For example, carbon atoms have six protons, hydrogen atoms have one, and oxygen atoms have eight.
Atomic symbol: The atomic symbol (or element symbol) is an abbreviation chosen to represent an element ("C" for carbon, "H" for hydrogen and "O" for oxygen, etc.). These symbols are used internationally and are sometimes unexpected. For example, the symbol for tungsten is "W" because another name for that element is wolfram. Also, the atomic symbol for gold if "Au" because the word for gold in Latin is
