|
increasing atomic number. (he was right)
|
|
The periodic law says...
|
physical and chemical properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers
|
|
Other stuff about Mendeleev
|
he left blank spaces in the table and predicted where elements would be
|
|
Columns go up and down. They are called:
|
groups or families
|
|
Elements in groups have...
|
similar but not idenitical properties
|
|
The horizontal rows are called
|
periods (they go side to side)
|
|

|
Each square in the periodic table tells you:
|
the atomic number, chemical symbol, name, and atomic mass
|
|
the atomic number tells you...
|
the number of protons
|
