Questions Related to the periodic table

Total number of groups in Mendeleev's table is:

  1. $8$

  2. $9$

  3. $7$

  4. $10$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Mendeleev’s Periodic table says that the periodic function of their relative atomic masses. Mendeleev arranged all the 63 elements in it. These only were discovered in his time. These are in the order of their increasing relative atomic masses in a tabular form. It is the Periodic Table. He had the table with eight columns and seven rows. The columns are the groups whereas rows are the periods.

Hence, the correct option is A.

The number of elements known in Mendeleev's presented periodic table is:

  1. $50$

  2. $90$

  3. $63$

  4. $102$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

After the rejection of Newlands Octave Law, Mendeleev Periodic table came into existence. In Mendeleev’s periodic table, elements were placed based on the atomic mass, and chemical properties. During Mendeleev’s work, only 63 elements were found. After studying the properties of all elements, he found that the properties of elements were related to atomic mass.

Hence, the correct option is C.

According to Mendeleev's periodic law, the properties of elements are a periodic function of:

  1. atomic number.

  2. atomic weight.

  3. number of electrons.

  4. density.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer individually came up with their own periodic law "when the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic mass, certain sets of properties recur periodically." 


Hence, the correct option is $\text{B}$

Two elements were elected by Mendeleev for studying the properties of compounds formed by other elements with the selected elements. What were the selected elements?

  1. Oxygen, Nitrogen

  2. Hydrogen, Carbon

  3. Hydrogen, Oxygen

  4. Oxygen, Carbon


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The elements selected by Mendeleev were oxygen and hydrogen because most of the elements reacted with oxygen and hydrogen.

The eight group of Mendeleev's periodic table is divided into how many subgroups?

  1. $2$

  2. $0$

  3. $4$

  4. $1$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The eight group in Mendeleev's periodic table was not divided into any group. It contained transition series elements.

Eka-silicon was the name given by Mendeleev to the element similar to ________ in properties.

  1. Boron

  2. Germanium

  3. Aluminium

  4. Silicon


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The name given to the element, by Mendeleev, similar to Germanium in properties was Eka-Silicon.

Eka-Boron was the name given by Mendeleev to the element similar to _______ in properties.

  1. Scandium

  2. Silicon

  3. Aluminium

  4. Boron


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The name given to the element, by Mendeleev, similar to Scandium in properties was Eka-Boron.

The groups from $1^{st}$ to $7^{th}$ of Mendeleev's periodic table were divided into ______ subgroups.

  1. $2$

  2. $3$

  3. $4$

  4. $1$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The groups from $1$st to $7$th of Mendeleev's periodic table were divided into two subgroups A and B.

Eka-aluminium forms oxide of the type :

  1. $E _2O$

  2. $EO$

  3. $E _2O _3$

  4. $E _3O _4$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The properties of Eka-aluminium are similar to gallium so it forms oxide of the type $E _2O _3$ same as $Ga _2O _3$.

Eka-aluminium forms chloride of the type :

  1. $E _2Cl$

  2. $ECl _3$

  3. $E _2Cl _3$

  4. $E _3Cl _4$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The properties of Eka-aluminium are similar to gallium so it forms chloride of the type $ECl _3$ same as $GaCl _3$.
