Question
What is the basic difference in approach between the Mendeleev’s Periodic Lawand the Modern Periodic Law?

Answer

According to Mendeleev’s periodic law, the physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic masses, but according to modern periodic law, the physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.
