Mendeleev's Periodic law:
✓

Answer

(i) The Russian scientist Dmitri Mendeleev developed the periodic table of elements during the period 1869 to 1872 A.D.
(ii) Mendeleev's periodic table is the most important step in the classification of elements.
(iii) Mendeleev considered the fundamental property of elements, namely the atomic mass as standard and arranged 63 elements known at that time in an increasing order of their atomic masses.
(iv) Then, he transferred this into the periodic table of elements in accordance with the physical and chemical properties of these elements.
(v) He organized the periodic table on the basis of the chemical and physical properties of the elements.
(vi) These were the molecular formulae of hydrides and oxides of the elements, melting points, boiling points and densities of the elements and their hydrides and oxides.
(vii) Mendeleev found that the elements with similar physical and chemical properties repeat after a definite interval.
(viii) On the basis of this finding Mendeleev, stated the following periodic law "Properties of elements are periodic function of their atomic masses".

Atoms of eight elements $A, B, C, D, E, F, G$ and H have the same number of electron shells but different number of electrons in their outermost shells. It was found that elements $A$ and $G$ combine to form an ionic compound. This ionic compound is added in a small amount to almost all vegetables and dishes during cooking. Oxides of elements $A$ and $B$ are basic in nature while those of elements $E$ and $F$ are acidic. The oxide of element $D$ is, however, almost neutral. Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
  1. To which group or period of the periodic table do these elements belong?
  2. What would be the nature of compound formed by a combination of elements $B$ and $F?$

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions:
If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing due to loss of energy.

The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both the objects attain the same value. In this process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object loses’ heat energy. If the system of both the objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistant box (meaning that the energy exchange takes place between the two objects only), then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box.
(1) Heat is transferred from where to where?
(2) Which principle do we learn about from this process?
(3) How will you state the principle briefly?
(4) Which property of the substance is measured using this principle?
