Answer:
Antoine Lavoisier and Johann Wolfang Döbereiner organized the elements based on properties such as how the elements reacts or whether they are solid or liquid.
Explanation:
The periodic table of the elements as we have it today was developed as a result of the work of several notable centuries who lived centuries apart, all of who made notable contributions to development of the modern periodic table in use today.
In 1789, Antoine Lavoisier, a French Chemist provided a definition of elemets which he defined as a substance whose smallest units cannot be broken down into a simpler substance. He further grouped the elements into two as metals and nonmetals.
In 1829, German physicist Johann Wolfang Döbereiner arranged elements in groups of three in increasing order of atomic weight and called them triads. His arrangement owasf elements into triads was based on his observation of similarities in physical and chemical properties of certain elements.
John Newlands, a British Chemist was the first to arrange the elements into a periodic table with increasing order of atomic masses.
In 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev developed a periodic table which provided a framework the modern periodic table. He arranged the elements according to their atomic weight, leaving gaps for elements that were yet to be discovered.
The modern periodic table arranges elements based on increasing atomic number.
Sir Joseph John Thomson OM PRS (18 December 1856 – 30 August 1940) was a British physicist and Nobel Laureate in Physics, credited with the discovery of the electron, the first subatomic particle to be discovered.
Answer:
atoms relative motion slow down and begin to vibrate in place
<u>Answer:</u>
<u>For 1:</u> Neutralization reaction
<u>For 2: </u>Zinc is more reactive than lead and less reactive than calcium.
<u>Explanation:</u>
When a base reacts with an acid to form a salt and water molecule, it is known as a neutralization reaction. The general equation follows:
The chemical equation for the reaction of calcium hydroxide and nitric acid follows:
A single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution. The general chemical equation follows:
where,
Metal A is more reactive than metal B
The reactivity of metals is judged by the reactivity series where a metal lying above in the series is more reactive than the metal lying below it.
From the reactivity series below,
Zinc lies above in the series than lead thus is more reactive and will easily replace lead from its aqueous solution.
While zinc lies below in the series than calcium thus is less reactive and will not easily replace calcium from its aqueous solution.
