How did the work of Dmitri Mendeleev differ from that of John Newlands in the development of the periodic table?

alex41 [277]

When Newlands tried to create a periodic table, his tried to conform to the "Rule of Octaves" he had discovered. He had the right idea, in that if you arrange the elements by atomic weight there would be similarities every 7 elements (not 8 because noble gases hadn't been discovered yet) but he tried to push this rule so much that he would put multiple elements in the same box to try to keep the rule. Mendeleev, however, left gaps in this table for undiscovered elements, which paved the way for our modern periodic table.

In the reaction Zn H 2SO 4→ ZNSO4 + H2, which, if any element is oxidized

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

I hope this answer is correct

Explanation:

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

Zn0 - 2 e- → ZnII (oxidation)

2 HI + 2 e- → 2 H0 (reduction)

Zn is a reducing agent, H2SO4 is an oxidizing agent.

Which of the following are held together by nonpolar covalent bonds?

DaniilM [7]

The atoms of chlorine are held together by non-polar covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are formed between two or more atoms having zero or very small electronegativity difference. For homonuclear molecules where the two bonding atom are of the same kind, the electronegativity difference is zero.
