(a) According to Mendeleev’s periodic law: The properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic masses. It was the discovery of atomic number which led to a change in Mendeleev’s periodic law which was based on atomic mass.
(b) The noble gases are placed in a separate group because they are chemically very inert or unreactive (having completely filled outermost electron shells).
