In Mendeleev ′ s Periodic Table the elements were arranged in the increasing order of their atomic masses. However, cobalt with an atomic mass of 58.93 amu was placed before nickel having an atomic mass of 58.71 amu. Give a reason for the same.

Answer»
  • In Mendeleev ′s Periodic Table there are instances where elements with higher atomic mass is placed before the element with lower atomic mass. 
  • This was done to ensure that elements with similar properties were included in the same group. 
  • Hence Cobalt was placed before Nickel despite of higher atomic number of Cobalt than Nickel.
23941.

What is the basic difference in approach between the Mendeleev's periodic law and the modern periodic law?

Answer»

According to.Mendeleev, the properties of the elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights, while according to modem periodic law, the properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.

In Fig., ABC and ABD are two triangles on the same base AB. If line segment CD is bisected by AB at O, show that ar.(∆ABC) = ar.(∆ABD).

Answer»

Data: ∆ABC and ∆ABD are two triangles on the same base AB. 

Line segment CD bisected by AB at O’. 

To Prove: ar.(∆ABC) = ar.(∆ABD) 

Prove: AB bisects line segment CD at O’. 

∴ OC = OD In ∆ADC, AO is the median on CD. 

∴ ar.(∆AOD) = ar.(∆AOC) …………… (i) 

In ∆BDC, BO is the median on CD. 

∴ ar.(∆BOD) = ar.(∆BOC) ……………. (ii) 

Adding (i) and (ii), 

ar.(∆AOD) + ar.(∆BOD) = ar.(∆AOC)+ ar.(∆BOC) 

∴ ar.(∆ABD) = ar.(∆ABC)

Find the area of a figure formed by joining the midpoints of the adjacent sides of a rhombus with diagonals 12 cm and 16 cm.

Answer»

We know that ABCD is a rhombus with P, Q, R and S as the midpoints of AB, BC, CD and DA.

AC and BD diagonals are joined.

Using the midpoint theorem

We know that

PQ = ½ AC

By substituting the values we get

PQ = ½ (16)

By division

PQ = 8cm

In △ DAC we know that S and R are the midpoints of AD and DC

Using the midpoint theorem

SR = ½ AC

By substituting the values

SR = ½ (12)

By division

SR = 6cm

Consider the rectangle PQRS

Area of the rectangle PQRS = length × breadth

So we get

Area of the rectangle PQRS = 6 × 8

By multiplication

Area of the rectangle PQRS = 48 cm2

Therefore, area of the figure is 48 cm2.

23949.

In the adjoining figure, D and E are respectively the midpoints of sides AB and AC of △ ABC. If PQ || BC and CDP and BEQ are straight lines then prove that ar (△ ABQ) = ar (△ ACP).

Answer»

From the figure we know that D and E are the midpoints of AB and AC

So we get

DE || BC || PQ

Consider △ ACP

We know that AP || DE and E is the midpoint of AC

Using the midpoint theorem we know that D is the midpoint of PC

So we get

DE = ½ AP

It can be written as

AP = 2DE …… (1)

Consider △ ABQ

We know that AQ || DE and D is the midpoint of AB

Using the midpoint theorem we know that E is the midpoint of BQ

So we get

DE = ½ AQ

It can be written as

AQ = 2DE ……. (2)

Using equations (1) and (2)

We get

AP = AQ

We know that △ ACP and △ ABQ lie on the bases AP and AQ between the same parallels BC and PQ

So we get

Area of △ ACP = Area of △ ABQ

Therefore, it is proved that ar (△ ABQ) = ar (△ ACP).
