What is the difference between Modern Periodic Law and Mendeleev’s Periodic Law? What is the ionic radius? What is the atomic radius? What is isoelectronic species? Give an example. Elements in the same group have similar chemical and physical properties. 

Introduction

In this chapter, we will discuss the development of the periodic table and the periodic law. The arrangement of elements in the modern periodic table is organized into eight vertical columns (groups) and seven horizontal rows (periods) based on their atomic number. Based on the electronic configuration, elements can be classified into four types in… Continue reading Introduction

Introduction

As discussed in the previous chapter, according to Dalton’s atomic theory, atoms are the building blocks of matter. In the year 1808, John Dalton proposed atomic theory saying that atom is an indivisible particle of matter. By the end of the nineteenth century, experiments proved that atoms comprise of three particles viz protons, neutrons, and… Continue reading Introduction

Introduction

Chemistry is referred to as the “Central Science” as it interconnects geology, biology, environmental science, and physics to each other. Ancient Indians had knowledge of various concepts from chemistry even before it emerged as a discipline. In chemistry, one of the core fundamental concepts is matter – it is defined as a substance that occupies… Continue reading Introduction
