Dmitri Mendeleev designed the periodic table by arranging the elements in the increasing order of their atomic weights.

Demerits of Mendeleev's periodic table are:

  • Position of hydrogen was not justified.
  • The position of isotopes was not determined, since they have the same atomic number but different atomic mass numbers.
  • Lanthanides and actinides do not follow Mendeleev’s periodic law, their position was anomalous
