What was wrong with early periodic tables?

They were incomplete, and some elements were placed in inappropriate groups

New cards
29

How did Mendeleev overcome problems with the periodic table?

He left gaps for elements that hadn’t been discovered and changed the order based on atomic weight in some places.
