MCQ
Which important property did Mendeleev use to classify the elements in his periodic table?
  • Atomic weight.
  • B
    Atomic number.
  • C
    Melting point.
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Atomic weight.
Mendeleev's used atomic weight as the basis of classification of elements in the periodic table. He arranged $63$ elements known at that time in the periodic table on the basis of the order of their increasing atomic weights and he placed elements with similar nature in same group.
