PERIODIC CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS

MOHMMED.ILIAS

1. Modern periodic law

 Given by Mosely
 It is based on plots between square root of frequency and atomic number
 The physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions
of their atomic number
2. Modern periodic table is called as “long form” of the Periodic Table of the elements
3. Modern periodic table consists of
 Rows -> periods  shells  n 7 period
 Columns  groups  same no of valence electrons ( 1 to 18 )
4. Electronic configuration of periodic table

a) On the basis of quantum numbers, justify that the sixth period of the periodic
table should have 32 elements
b) On the basis of quantum numbers, justify that the 4th period of the periodic table
should have 18 elements
