- DOption (d)
Hydrogen and Oxygen
View answer & explanationHide answer & explanation
Correct answer
Hydrogen and Oxygen
Why this answer is correct
The correct answer is Option 4, i.e Hydrogen, and Oxygen.
- Among chemical properties, Mendeleev concentrated on the compounds formed by the elements with Hydrogen and Oxygen.
- The reason why Mendeleev concentrated on the compounds formed by the elements with Hydrogen and Oxygen is they are highly reactive and hence formed compounds with almost all the elements.
- Mendeleev concentrated on the oxides and hydrides of various elements to study their chemical properties.
- Dmitri Mendeleev is known as the father of the Periodic Table.
- Periodic laws were put forwarded by Mendeleev.
- Mendeleev formulated a periodic law, which states that "The properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic masses".
