A. Dobereiner
B. Newlands
C. Mendeleev
D. Moseley
Answer: Dobereiner grouped elements into triads of similar chemical properties.
A. sum of the other two
B. average of the other two
C. product of the other two
D. difference of the other two
Answer: The middle element's atomic mass is near the average of the other two.
A. Sodium
B. Potassium
C. Calcium
D. Argon
Answer: The fourth period starts with potassium, atomic number 19.
A. Two
B. Three
C. Four
D. Five
Answer: Dobereiner's triads consisted of sets of three elements.
A. for all elements
B. for elements heavier than calcium
C. for light elements
D. for noble gases
Answer: Newlands' law did not apply to elements heavier than calcium.
A. 4s
B. 4p
C. 4d
D. 3p
Answer: 4s fills before 3d, which fills before 4p, following energy order.
A. atomic number
B. atomic mass
C. density
D. valency
Answer: Newlands arranged elements by increasing atomic mass.
A. atomic number
B. atomic mass
C. atomic size
D. mass number
Answer: Mendeleev's periodic law used atomic mass as its basis.
A. Mg has a smaller nuclear charge
B. Mg has more protons and a smaller radius
C. Mg loses two electrons
D. Mg is a non-metal
Answer: Greater nuclear charge and smaller radius make Mg's electron harder to remove.
A. a weekly calendar
B. octaves in music
C. a clock
D. a ladder
Answer: Every eighth element resembled the first, like notes in a musical octave.
A. atomic mass
B. atomic number
C. number of neutrons
D. density
Answer: The modern table arranges elements by increasing atomic number.
A. shells increase
B. effective nuclear charge increases
C. shielding rises sharply
D. mass decreases
Answer: Higher effective nuclear charge pulls the same-shell electrons inward.
A. atomic number
B. atomic mass
C. ionization energy
D. electronegativity
Answer: Mendeleev used increasing atomic mass as the basis of his table.
A. period number
B. group number
C. subshell receiving the last electron
D. valency
Answer: Elements are classified into blocks by the last filled subshell.
A. Germanium
B. Gallium
C. Scandium
D. Titanium
Answer: Germanium matched Mendeleev's predicted eka-silicon.
A. noble gases
B. unknown (undiscovered) elements
C. isotopes
D. artificial elements
Answer: He predicted the existence and properties of undiscovered elements.
A. is a metal
B. has a complete valence shell
C. has low density
D. is reactive
Answer: Helium has a full outermost shell, so it behaves like a noble gas.
A. Germanium
B. Gallium
C. Scandium
D. Boron
Answer: Gallium's properties matched the predicted eka-aluminium.
A. atomic mass
B. atomic number
C. density
D. valency
Answer: Moseley discovered that atomic number determines element properties.
A. one valence electron
B. two valence electrons
C. eight valence electrons
D. no electron
Answer: Like alkali metals, hydrogen has one valence electron.
