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

The only important difference is that the modern periodic law must be framed in terms of atomic numbers, where Mendeleev framed the original periodic law in terms of atomic weights. There are only three places where this makes a difference. For cobalt and nickel Mendeleev assigned both exactly the same atomic weight -- well within the error margins at the time.

For tellurium and iodine, Mendeleev insisted, wrongly, that the recognised atomic weight of tellurium was wrong, and that it had to be less than that of iodine. And the third case did not come up until later, because argon was not discovered until 1894 (element number 18, argon, has an atomic weight greater than that of element 19, potassium).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
