Law of Triad was proposed by
Detailed Solution for Test: Periodic Classification of Elements (Medium) - Question 6
In 1829, a German chemist, Johann Dobereiner (1780–1849), placed various groups of three elements into groups called triads. One such triad was lithium, sodium, and potassium. Triads were based on both physical as well as chemical properties.

Whose name is not associated with the development of periodic Table
Detailed Solution for Test: Periodic Classification of Elements (Medium) - Question 10
William Prout discovered that the atomic mass of an element can never differ. He observed that many elements have atomic weights as multiple of that of hydrogen. Newland and Loother Meyer also played a great role in the attempts to classify the elements. However, Rutherford played a prominent role in explaining the structure of the atom. Therefore, the correct answer is (c).

Which of the following forms the basis of the modern periodic table?
Detailed Solution for Test: Periodic Classification of Elements (Medium) - Question 11
Modern periodic table is based on the atomic numbers of elements as according to the modern periodic law the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers.

What happens to the electropositive character of elements moving from left to right in a periodic table?
Detailed Solution for Test: Periodic Classification of Elements (Medium) - Question 12
Electropositive character of an element is its ability to lose electrons and form positive ions. Now, as on moving from left to right in a period of periodic table, the nuclear charge increases due to the gradual increase in number of protons, so the valence electrons are pulled more strongly by the nucleus. Thus, it becomes more and more difficult for the atoms to lose electrons causing a decrease in the electropositive character of elements moving from left to right in a periodic table.

Which of the following is the correct order of the atomic radii of the elements oxygen, fluorine and nitrogen?
Detailed Solution for Test: Periodic Classification of Elements (Medium) - Question 14
Oxygen (8), fluorine (9), and nitrogen (7) belong to the same period of the periodic table, in the order nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine. Now in a period, on moving from left to right the atomic radius of the elements decreases. Therefore, the atomic radius of nitrogen is the largest.

What is the other name for group 18th elements?
Detailed Solution for Test: Periodic Classification of Elements (Medium) - Question 15
Group 18th elements are named as noble gases as they are very stable due to having the maximum number of valence electrons their outermost shell can hold, hence they rarely react with other elements.

Which of the following is the most reactive element of the group 17?
Detailed Solution for Test: Periodic Classification of Elements (Medium) - Question 16
As we move down in a group, the size of the atoms of elements goes on increasing. So, fluorine being on the top position in the halogen’s group is the smallest element and has the maximum tendency to gain an electron to complete its octet. Thus fluorine is the most reactive element of the group 17.

Element X forms a chloride with the formula XCl2, which is a solid with a high melting point. X would most likely be in the same group of the Periodic Table as
Detailed Solution for Test: Periodic Classification of Elements (Medium) - Question 17
Group 2 alkaline earth metal atoms have two valence electrons each. They can donate their two valence electrons to two other chlorine atoms to form the solid compounds of the form XCl2.

This XCl2 compound being ionic in nature has a very strong electrostatic force of attraction between 2 chloride atoms and 1 metal atom. Thus a large amount of heat is required to break these strong bonds, causing the compound to have very high melting and boiling points.

Which group elements are called transition metals?
Detailed Solution for Test: Periodic Classification of Elements (Medium) - Question 18
The elements occurring in the group 3 to 12 are named as transition metals because they are metallic elements that form a transition between the main group elements, which occur in groups 1 and 2 on the left side, and groups 13–18 on the right side of the periodic table.
