Explain why the elements Cobalt and Nickel in the fourth period violate the original periodic law as stated by Mendeleev.

Explanation:

Dmitri Mendeleev was a Russian scientist that proposed the first periodic table of elements. Elements in his periodic table were arranged according to there relative atomic mass; however cobalt (Co) with an atomic mass of 58.93 was placed before nickel (Ni) with an atomic mass of 58.69 which was an anomaly as according to his law, nickel should come before cobalt since nickel has a lesser mass compared to cobalt.

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.
