3. Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties

Classification of elements provides a systematic approach to studying over 100 elements, grouping similar ones together to facilitate predictions and understanding of their properties. The chapter discusses historical attempts at classification, including Mendeleev's periodic table and the modern periodic law, illustrating trends in properties and the significant differences between metals, non-metals, and metalloids. Understanding these classifications simplifies the study of chemistry and allows for predictions about chemical behavior.
