A. The development
of Periodic Table
Activity 13.3
Activity 13.3
Read the story below and discuss the questions
that follow.
1. Mendeleev was a
teacher of Chemistry
at a famous university
in Russia. He was
writing a textbook for
his students.
Activity 13.3
2. To collect his thoughts for writing the textbook,
he wrote the name of each element and each
of its properties on a separate card.
Activity 13.3
3. One night, he had a dream. The element cards
lined up in rows. When he awoke, he decided
to arrange the elements in a table according to
the mass of atoms.
Activity 13.3
4. He also found that if he placed eight elements
in a row, the columns of the table would
contain elements with similar properties. He
called these columns ‘groups’.
Part of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
Activity 13.3
1. In what ways did Mendeleev arrange the
elements in the Periodic Table?
He arranged the elements in a table
according to the mass of atoms.
2. Why did Mendeleev put beryllium (Be),
magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) into the
same group (Group II) in his Periodic Table?
They have similar properties.

C. Uses of elements
Transition elements
We can find that there is a block between Group II
and Group III in the modern Periodic Table. The
elements in this block are called transition
elements.
For example, vanadium is
a transition element. It can
be used in the production
of dyes.
