Classification
The arrangement of similar elements into one
group and to separate them from different
elements is called classification.
Dobereiner’s Classification
In 1829 Johann Dobereiner a German physicist
arranged chemically similar elements in group of
three on the basis of their atomic masses.
He called these groups as triads.
in the triad, the average of the atomic masses
of the 1st and 3rd elements is approximately equal
to the atomic mass of the middle element.

Newland classification
In 1863 an English chemist John Newland arranged the
elements in order of increasing their atomic masses.
He divided the elements into groups of seven elements
and found that every 8th element had the properties similar
to the 1st element of the series.
He called these groups as octaves.

Mendeleev and Lother Meyer classification
In 1869 two chemists, Lother Meyer in Germany
and Mendeleev in Russia at about the same time developed
very similar arrangement of elements in order of increasing
their atomic weight,
Certain physical and chemical properties are repeated at
regular intervals.
Lother Meyer Classification
Lother Meyer plotted densities of the elements against their
atomic masses and found that similar elements occupied
similar position in the graph as shown in the figure below
He observed that For example,
the elements with The alkali metals like
similar properties Li, Na, K and Rb
occupy the same occupy the peaks
position on the there by showing that
curve these elements have
high densities.
Chapter 2 Classification
Mendeleev classification
Mendeleev arranged the elements in the form of table.
He arranged all the elements into periods and groups.
In this table he left vacant spaces for the elements which were
not discovered at that time and to be placed in these vacant
spaces.
On the basis of this table, he predicted the properties of certain
elements very accurately that were yet to be discovered

Salient feature of Mendeleev periodic table
1. It has eight vertical columns called groups and twelve
horizontal rows called periods.
There are seven periods, beginning with a metal and ending with a
noble gas.
1st Period:
It is called the shortest period.
It contains two elements hydrogen and helium. This period signifies
the completion of K-shell or 1st orbit.

Group and Period in Modern periodic table
2nd Period and 3rd periods (Short period)
Each of these periods contains eight elements(normal).
They signify filling up of L-shell and M-shell.
The 2nd period is start with Li and ends up with Ne,
where as the 3rd period is start with Na and ends up with Ar.
Chapter 2 Classification
Group and Period in Modern periodic table
4th and 5th Periods (Long periods)
Each of these periods contain 18 elements,
8 normal and 10 transition.
In these periods the electrons fill M and N-shells.
4th period is start with K and ends at Kr.
5th period start with Rb and ends at Xe.

Group and Period in Modern periodic table
Groups or family
Vertical columns of elements from top to bottom in the periodic table
are called groups or family.
Groups are of two types
Sub-group A
Sub-group B.
Elements of sub-group A are called normal or representative elements.
Elements of sub-group B are called transition elements.
