C4 - Chemical Patterns Flashcards
What did Dobreiner do in terms of the periodic table?
He arranged elements into groups of three called triads. The elements in each triad has similar chemical properties and the relative atomic mass of the middle one was about halfway between the other two.
What did John Newlands do in terms of the periodic table?
He arranged the known elements in order of relative atomic mass and found similar properties amongst every eighth element in the series.
What did Dimitri Mendeleev do in terms of the periodic table?
He used his periodic table to predict the existence of other elements.
What is a group in the periodic table?
A vertical column of elements make a group.
What is a period in the periodic table?
A horizontal row of elements make a period.
