Explanation

The NCERT text clarifies, 'Later work showed that most of them did not contain amino groups, so the letter ‘e’ was dropped and the term vitamin is used these days.'

Explanation

Table 10.3 states that Vitamin K's source includes green leafy vegetables and its deficiency leads to 'Increased blood clotting time', confirming its role in blood clotting. The classification section also lists Vitamin K as fat-soluble.

Which of the following scientists first considered the idea of trends among properties of elements in the early 1800s?

Explanation

According to the context: 'In each case, he noticed that the middle element of each of the triads had an atomic weight about halfway between the atomic weights of the other two' (Table 3.1 also exemplifies this).

Explanation

The context clearly defines the Modern Periodic Law: 'The physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.'

Who experimentally demonstrated that atomic number is a more fundamental property of an element than its atomic mass, leading to the modification of Mendeleev's Periodic Law?

Explanation

The passage states: 'In 1913, the English physicist, Henry Moseley observed regularities in the characteristic X-ray spectra of the elements... He thereby showed that the atomic number is a more fundamental property of an element than its atomic mass.'

The Periodic Law, as it is understood today, is fundamentally a consequence of the periodic variation in:

Explanation

The text says: 'In fact, it is now recognized that the Periodic Law is essentially the consequence of the periodic variation in electronic configurations, which indeed determine the physical and chemical properties of elements and their compounds.'
