Periodic Table

Question 1 • GA-GSE Physical Science A

Which statements accurately describe Dmitri Mendeleev’s contributions to the development of the periodic table? Check all that apply.Mendeleev wrote the first modern chemistry textbook.Mendeleev produced the first orderly arrangement of known elements.Mendeleev ordered the elements by increasing atomic number.Mendeleev used patterns to predict undiscovered elements.Mendeleev accounted for variations resulting from isotopes.

Answer
A
Mendeleev wrote the first modern chemistry textbook.
B
Mendeleev produced the first orderly arrangement of known elements.
C
Mendeleev ordered the elements by increasing atomic number.
D
Mendeleev used patterns to predict undiscovered elements.
E
Mendeleev accounted for variations resulting from isotopes.

Explanation

Mendeleev arranged the known elements into a systematic table, leaving gaps where the pattern suggested elements had not yet been discovered. He used those patterns to predict the properties of the missing elements. He arranged elements mainly by atomic mass, not atomic number, and he did not account for isotopes, which were identified later.
