Answer:
Merits of modern periodic table:
- The wrong position of some elements like argon, potassium, cobalt and nickel due to atomic weights have been solved by arranging the elements in the order of increasing atomic number without changing their own places.
- The isotopes of some element have the same atomic numbers. Therefore, they find the same position in periodic table.
- It separates metals from non-metals.
- The groups of the table are divided into sub groups A and B due to their dissimilar properties which make the study of elements specific and easier.
- The representative and transition elements have been separated.
Hope this helps...
