Solution

Long form of periodic Table: In the long form of the periodic table, elements are arranged in the order of their increasing atomic number in the tabular form.

  • It has 18 vertical groups or columns and 7 horizontal rows or series.
  • The long form of periodic table follows modern periodic law.

Modern periodic law: When elements are arranged in the order of their increasing atomic number, the elements with similar properties are repeated after a certain regular interval.

  • This is in contrast to Mendeleev's periodic table in which the chemical properties of elements was a periodic function of their atomic masses.

Therefore, the chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number.
