Mendeleev's Periodic law:

Answer

(i) The Russian scientist Dmitri Mendeleev developed the periodic table of elements during the period 1869 to 1872 A.D.
(ii) Mendeleev's periodic table is the most important step in the classification of elements.
(iii) Mendeleev considered the fundamental property of elements, namely the atomic mass as standard and arranged 63 elements known at that time in an increasing order of their atomic masses.
(iv) Then, he transferred this into the periodic table of elements in accordance with the physical and chemical properties of these elements.
(v) He organized the periodic table on the basis of the chemical and physical properties of the elements.
(vi) These were the molecular formulae of hydrides and oxides of the elements, melting points, boiling points and densities of the elements and their hydrides and oxides.
(vii) Mendeleev found that the elements with similar physical and chemical properties repeat after a definite interval.
(viii) On the basis of this finding Mendeleev, stated the following periodic law "Properties of elements are periodic function of their atomic masses".

When a mixture of gases $X$ and $Y$ is compressed to $300$atm pressure and then passed over a catalyst consisting of a mixture of zinc oxide and chromium oxide $($heated to a temperature of $300^\circ C),$ then an organic compounds $Z$ having the molecular formula $CH_4O$ is formed. $X$ is a highly poisonous gas which is formed in appreciable amounts when a fuel burns in a limited supply of air; $Y$ is a gas which can be made by the action of a dilute acid on an active metal; and $Z$ is a liquid organic compound which can react with sodium metal to produce hydrogen gas:

There were lot of organisms A in the crop fields in an area. These organisms used to feed on organisms B also present in the crop fields but which damaged the standing crops. One day some people arrived in the fields and killed all the organisms A so that they could remove their C for making fancy items which were in great demand. Due to large scale killing of A, the population of B increased too much damaging all the crops in the area and causing a famine-like situation. Apart from A, there is another organism D which can also kill and eat B. Name A, B, C and D.

Observe the figure and name and explain in brief the following method:
The germ cell A produced by a person X is round in shape and it fuses with another germ cell B having a long tail and produced by a person Y. The fusion of A and B produces a new cell C. The cell C divides repeatedly and grows inside the organ D of person X to form E in which the body features of the unborn baby are not much developed. E grows further to form F in which the various body features of the unborn baby (like hands, legs, head, eyes, and ears, etc.) can be identified. F grows further and ultimately forms a baby. What are A, B, C, D, E and F? Out of the two persons X and Y, which one is male and which one female?
