Modern Periodic Table

In the modern periodic table elements are arranged by:

• atomic mass
• atomic number
• valence electrons
• number of isotopes

Why were there blank spaces left in Mendeleev's periodic table?                                              

• He didn't know what to put there.
•  Undiscovered elements not yet known.
• Multiple elements could have fit
• He forgot to add the elements in.

Which property did Mendeleev use to order his periodic table?

• Shielding effect
• Eletronegitivity
• Atomic Weight
• Metallic Character

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

What property did Newlands use to arrange his elements?                               

• atomic mass
•  number of protons 
• atomic size     
• melting point      

Mendeleev arranged the elements by their ________________

• alphabetical

• density

• melting point

• atomic mass

The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called

• groups

• families

• periods

• atomic numbers

Each vertical column on the periodic table is called a...

• group

• tower

• period

• crew

In each square of the periodic table, the number at the bottom is the:

• atomic number

• atomic mass

• chemical symbol

• element name
