Basic View Of Periodic Table.
In earlier 19th century about 30 elements were known and were classified in 3 types as metals, non metals and metalloids. In 1869 Russian chemist Dimitri Mendeleev put 4th periodic table of 63 elements using atomic mass and properties of elements. Meldeleev arranged the elements known at the time in an increasing order of their atomic masses. The orbital number of an element is called its atomic number. Mendeleev's periodic table was revised in accordance with modern periodic law and called it modern periodic table . Mendeleev's periodic table is based on atomic mass of an element, modern periodic table is based on Atomic Number of element. Atomic number is related to number of electrons and number of electrons are changed in any reaction. Also chemical properties of atom depends on number of electrons. Hence modern periodic table based on Atomic number. There are total 7 horizontal rows and 18 vertical coloumns named as periods a...
