Q

How can we overcome the defect ANOMALOUS PAIRS OF ELEMENTS in Mendeleev’s PT?

Q

In Mendeleev’s PT the isotopes should be arranged in different positions. Why?

A

Because in Mendeleev’s PT, the elements are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic masses. Since isotopes have different atomic masses they should be arranged in different positions
