  1. b, c

  2. a, b, d

  3. a, d

  4. All of above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Eka is a-prefix used to designate the first element of the same family in the periodic table beyond the one to whose name it is prefixed, as Eka manganese

(a) Eka silicon - Ge (germanium)

(b) Eka aluminium - Ga (gallium )

(c) Eka manganese - Tc (technetium) 

(d) Eka boron – Sc (scandium)

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

Mendeleev's classified elements in:

chemistry the periodic table mendeleef's periodic table mendeleev's periodic law and its limitations mendeleev's periodic table development of the modern periodic table into the history

  1. Increasing order of atomic number

  2. Increasing order of atomic masses

  3. Decreasing order of atomic masses

  4. Decreasing order of atomic number

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Mendeleev's law
"the statement that the chemical and physical properties of the elements recur periodically when the elements are arranged in the order of their atomic weights."

According to Mendleev's periodic law which properties of the elements are the periodic function of their atomic masses?

chemistry the periodic table mendeleef's periodic table mendeleev's periodic law and its limitations mendeleev's periodic table development of the modern periodic table into the history

  1. Physical properties

  2. Chemical properties

  3. Physical and chemical properties both

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

According to Mendeleev's periodic law physical and chemical properties both of the elements are the periodic function of their atomic masses

Which gases were unknown at the time of Mendeleev?

chemistry the periodic table mendeleef's periodic table mendeleev's periodic law and its limitations mendeleev's periodic table development of the modern periodic table into the history

  1. Oxygen

  2. Noble gases

  3. $CO _2$

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The noble gases were unknown to Mendeleev. They were discovered later.

In Mendeleev's periodic table, the gap was not left for one of the following elements. This element is:

  1. potassium

  2. beryllium

  3. germanium

  4. scandium

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In Mendeleev's periodic table, gap was not left for beryllium.

The properties of the elements, as well as the formulae and properties of their compounds depend in a periodic manner on the atomic weights of the elements. This periodic law was given by :

  1. J. Lothar Meyer

  2. John A. R. Newlands

  3. Dobernier

  4. D.I. Mendleev

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In 1870 Mendeleev created a table or chart that listed the known elements according to increasing order of atomic weights and when he organized the table into horizontal rows elements with similar chemical properties appeared at regular intervals.

The properties of the elements, as well as the formulae and properties of their compounds depend in a periodic manner on the atomic weights of the elements. This periodic law was given by__________.

  1. J. L. Meyer

  2. John AR. Newlands

  3. Dobernier

  4. D.l. Mendeleev

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Mendeleeve predicted several new elements and accurately predicted the qualities of missing elements like germanium,gallium and scandium. He arranged the elements in the table according to their atomic weight.

In Mendeleev's periodic table, gaps were left for the element to be discovered later on, which of the following elements found a place on the periodic table later on:

  1. germanium

  2. chlorine

  3. silicon

  4. oxygen

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Out of the given options, Oxygen, Silicon and Chlorine were present. He also left gaps of elements to be discovered in future. One such gap was for germanium (Ge).

What type of oxide would Eka-aluminium form?

chemistry the periodic table mendeleef's periodic table mendeleev's periodic law and its limitations mendeleev's periodic table development of the modern periodic table into the history

  1. $EO _3$

  2. $E _3O _2$

  3. $E _2O _3$

  4. $EO$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Eka- Aluminium (E) forms oxide with the same empirical formula is Aluminium oxide. Thus, it forms ${ E } _{ 2 }{ O } _{ 3 }$ oxide.


Hence, option C is correct.

Number of short periods in Mendeleev table is :

chemistry the periodic table mendeleef's periodic table mendeleev's periodic law and its limitations mendeleev's periodic table development of the modern periodic table into the history

  1. $2$

  2. $3$

  3. $4$

  4. $1$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Period number 1, 2 and 3 contain 2, 8 and 8 elements respectively. Other periods contain more than 8 elements. Hence, the first three periods are called as short periods. So, total of 3 short periods are there in Mendeleev periodic table.
