Who invented the Periodic Table?

• Mendeleev

• Bohr

• Lewis

• Democritus

Mendeleev's genius was his ability to

• organize elements by properties

who discovered the first scientific and systematic periodic table

• Henry Mosley

• Dmitri Mendeleev

• John Dalton

• sir Isaac Newton

Which one is correct about mendeleev's periodic law

• Properties of elements are periodic function of their atomic mass

• the physical and chemical properties of elements are periodic function of their atomic number.

• physical properties of elements are periodic function of their atomic weight.

• chemical properties of elements are periodic function of their atomic number.

What was Dmitri Mendeleev's greatest contribution to the history of the periodic table?

• He arranged all of the known elements by their atomic number
• He realised that there was a pattern of reactivity which repeated every 8 elements
• He predicted the existence (and properties) of new elements
• He identified the "law of triads" which became the groups
