Q

How did John Newlands arrange elements?

A

In order of atomic mass
Noticed properties seemed to repeat every eighth element - law of octaves.

Q

Why were John Newland’s ideas not accepted at the time?

A

The order went wrong after calcium e.g. the very unreactive copper was in the group as the highly reactive lithium, sodium and potassium.

Q

How did Dmitri Mendeleev arrange elements?

A

Put elements in order of increasing atomic mass.
He placed elements with similar chemical properties into veritcal columns called groups.
Left gaps for undiscovered elements.

Q

What are the differences between Mendeleev’s table and the modern periodic table?

A

Modern: arranged according to increasing atomic number (number of protons in an atom
Mendeleev: arranged in increasing atomic mass

Modern: has no gaps
Mendeleev: had gaps for undiscovered elements

Modern: has more groups (columns)
Mendeleev: had fewer groups

Q

What is a compound made of?

A

Two or more different elements that are chemically combined.

24
Q

How is a formula for a compound made up and what does it show?

A
