Why didn't mendeleev use atomic number to arrange the elements?

1 answer:

8 0

The primary reason for this was that Mendeleev didn't know that atomic numbers actually existed. Atomic numbers were only discovered a period after Mendeleev's time. The use of X-rays made it possible to find the atomic number, and those had not been discovered yet. <span>
<span>The periodic table was then arranged in 1913 by Henry Moseley in an arrangement according to atomic number.</span></span>

Do x-rays travel slower than infrared

OleMash [197]

No, x-rays do not travel slower than infrared radiation or even the opposite. Both are travelling in vacuum therefore they travel at same speed. They differ in the frequency of the electromagnetic waves.

A scientist observed a 5-mL sample of an unknown substance. It is a blue liquid with a density of 1.2 g/cm. the substance reacts

LenaWriter [7]

Characteristic properties can be used to describe and identify the substances, while non-characteristic properties, although can be used to describe the substances, cannot be used to identify them.

Temperature, mass, color, shape and volume are examples of non-characteristic properties.

Density, boiling point, melting point, chemical reactivity are examples of characteristic properties.

List of the properties observed by the scientist:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Property                                     Type of property
----------------------------------------------------------------
Volume: 5 ml                              non-characteristic
----------------------------------------------------------------
Color: blue                                 non-characteristic
----------------------------------------------------------------
State: liquid                                characteristic
------------------------------------------------------------
density: 1.2 g/cm                        characteristic
------------------------------------------------------------
Reaction: reacts with CO2         characteristic
