(E) Mendeleev periodic table
Modern Periodic Table
(a) Moseley gave a periodic law. According to it physical and 
chemical properties of the elements are periodic function of 
their atomic numbers.
(b) Long form of the periodic table is given by Bohr and 
depend on Bohr-Burry scheme of electronic configuration. 
Which was proposed by Rang, Werner, Bohr, Burry, and 
Others.
(c) The long form of the periodic table consist of 7 horizontal 
rows called periods which like the Mendeleev’s periodic table 
and 18 vertical columns called groups.

FAQs on Flashcards: Classification of Elements & Periodicity in Properties

1. How do s-block, p-block, d-block and f-block elements differ in the periodic table?
Ans. Block classification depends on which orbital electrons occupy: s-block elements fill s orbitals (Groups 1-2), p-block fill p orbitals (Groups 13-18), d-block fill d orbitals (transition metals), and f-block fill f orbitals (lanthanides and actinides). Each block's position and properties reflect its electron configuration and chemical behaviour.
2. Why do atomic radius and ionization energy show opposite trends down a group?
Ans. Atomic radius increases down a group because electron shells stack outward, making atoms larger. Ionization energy decreases because outermost electrons sit farther from the nucleus, experiencing weaker attraction and requiring less energy to remove. These periodic property trends follow predictable patterns across periods too.
3. What's the difference between electronegativity and electron affinity in terms of periodic trends?
Ans. Electronegativity measures an atom's tendency to attract shared electrons in a bond, while electron affinity measures energy released when gaining an electron. Both increase across a period (left to right) and decrease down a group. Electronegativity predicts bonding behaviour; electron affinity predicts how readily atoms accept electrons.
4. How do metalloid properties make them different from metals and nonmetals on the periodic table?
Ans. Metalloids possess intermediate properties: they conduct electricity weakly (unlike nonmetals), are brittle (unlike metals), and exhibit mixed chemical behaviour. Located along the staircase boundary in the periodic table (like boron, silicon, arsenic), they bridge metallic and nonmetallic characteristics, making classification context-dependent.
5. Why does the periodic table's organisation by atomic number make predictions about element properties more reliable than older systems?
Ans. Atomic number (proton count) directly determines electron configuration and chemical properties, providing a fundamental ordering principle. Unlike Mendeleev's mass-based arrangement, atomic number reveals underlying electronic structure, enabling accurate prediction of periodic property patterns. This explains anomalies and ensures consistency across all elements and their reactivity trends.
