प्रश्न
Write scientific reason.
There was ambiguity about the correct position of hydrogen in Mendeleev’s periodic table.
उत्तर
- Hydrogen resembles alkali metals. It has one electron in its outermost shell like alkali metals. Its valency is 1 like alkali metals. It forms oxides (H2O) similar to alkali metals (Na2O). However, hydrogen also resembles halogens. It is a diatomic molecule (H2) like halogens (F2, Cl2). It is one electron deficient to achieve stable electronic configuration similar to halogens.
- Due to this unique behaviour of hydrogen, it could not be decided whether the correct position of hydrogen is in the group of alkali metals or in the group of halogens.
Thus, there was ambiguity about the correct position of hydrogen in Mendeleev's periodic table.
