b) 118                                   

c) 105    
d) 105

….……. attempted to classify the elements systematically.
a) Lavoisier                                          

b) Mendeleev
c) Newlands                                         

d) All of these

In ……….. Lavoisier classified the elements.
a) 1787 

b) 1864                 

c) 1869

d) 1974

a

Explanation:Lavoisier classified elements into metals and nonmetals. This classification was based on certain distinctive physical properties such as hardness, malleability and luster. On the basis of these properties, sodium and lead were classed together as belonging to the group of metals.



In 1864 ………. classified the elements.
a) Newlands                                        

b)Einstein
c) Mendeleev                                       

d)Newlands

a

Explanation:John Newlands put forward his law of octaves in 1864 in which he arranged all the elements known at the time into a table in order of relative atomic mass. When he did this, he found that each element was similar to the element eight places further on. ... As a result, his table was not accepted by other scientists.


In  ………. Mendeleev arranged the elements successfully.
a) 1869 

b) 1974 

c) 1864

d) 1870

a

Explanation:Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev was a Russian chemist and inventor. He is best known for formulating the Periodic Law and creating a farsighted version of the periodic table of elements.


Mendeleev arranged the elements on the basis of ………
a) atomicity                         

b) atomic number
c) atomic mass   

d) all of these

c

Explanation:Russian chemist who developed the periodic classification of the elements. Mendeleev found that, when all the known chemical elements were arranged in order of increasing atomic weight, the resulting table displayed a recurring pattern, or periodicity, of properties within groups of elements.
