The Purpose of Mendeleev’s lab was to try to understand and identify the 9 unknown elements that were given. We had to relate it to Mendeleev’s lab of 1869, using his perspective and his methods. For example , he did things like laying out the elements from lightest to heaviest and by the colors. By studying its physical properties and observing the examples given we could identify the elements that were given. Using his methods really helped me understand his point of view, he used the…
