Modern Periodic Law is one of the most important concepts in chemistry that explains the arrangement of elements in the modern periodic table.

🔬 Modern Periodic Law:

"The physical and chemical properties of the elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers."


📘 Explanation:

  • This means that if the elements are arranged in the order of increasing atomic number, their properties repeat at regular intervals.
  • It was proposed by Henry Moseley in 1913, based on his experiments with X-rays.
  • The atomic number (Z) is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and it determines the identity and properties of the element.

🧪 Significance of Modern Periodic Law:

  • Solved problems with Mendeleev’s periodic table, where elements were arranged by atomic mass.
  • Helped correctly place elements like Argon (18) before Potassium (19), even though Argon has more mass.
  • Justified the existence of isotopes as they have the same atomic number but different masses.
  • Basis of the modern periodic table, which has 7 periods and 18 groups.

📊 Modern Periodic Table:

  • Elements are arranged in rows (periods) and columns (groups).
  • Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

🧠 Example:

  • Lithium (Z = 3), Sodium (Z = 11), Potassium (Z = 19) — All have similar properties and are placed in the same group (Group 1) because they all have 1 electron in their outermost shell.
