alleryWhich of the following elements could not find a fixed place in Mendeleev's periodic table?
ASulphur
BHydrogen
COxygen
DNitrogen
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Hydrogen
1. A key limitation of Mendeleev's table was the placement of hydrogen.
2. Hydrogen resembles both alkali metals (group I) and halogens (group VII), so no single fixed position fit it.
3. Hence hydrogen could not be assigned a fixed place.
