Answer:
Binary compound
Explanation:
Binary compounds:
The compounds which are made up of the atoms of only two elements are called binary compounds.
For example:
The following compounds are binary:
HCl
H₂O
NH₃
HCl is binary because it is composed of only hydrogen and chlorine. Ammonia is also binary compound because it is made up of only two elements nitrogen and hydrogen.
water is also binary because it is also made up of only two elements hydrogen and oxygen.
SF₆ is binary compound because it consist of atoms of only two elements i.e, sulfur and fluorine.
Explanation :
As we know that Mendeleev arranged the elements in horizontal rows and vertical columns of a table in order of their increasing relative atomic weights.
He placed the elements with similar nature in the same group.
According to the question, the atomic weight of iodine is less than the atomic weight of tellurium. So according to this, iodine should be placed before tellurium in Mendeleev's tables. But Mendeleev placed iodine after tellurium in his original periodic table.
However, iodine has similar chemical properties to chlorine and bromine. So, in order to make iodine queue up with chlorine and bromine in his periodic table, Mendeleev exchanged the positions of iodine and tellurium.
As we know that the positions of iodine and tellurium were reversed in Mendeleev's table because iodine has one naturally occurring isotope that is iodine-127 and tellurium isotopes are tellurium-128 and tellurium-130.
Due to high relative abundance of tellurium isotopes gives tellurium the greater relative atomic mass.
Transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals because of their high ionization potential and high melting point.
On moving from left to right of the periodic table for every period, electrons fill in the same shell or orbital, with the alkali metals having the least filled outermost shells, one electron, which equates to fewer protons in them.
Consequently, they have a lesser attraction power from the nucleus, whereas, the corresponding transition metals of the same period have more protons interacting with electrons at the same distance, far from the nucleus as the alkali metals.
