History and arrangement of the periodic table assignment and quiz
How was the work of Newlands similar to that of Mendeleev on the periodic table? They both arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic mass. They both arranged elements that had similar properties into groups. They both predicted the positions of undiscovered elements on the table. They both placed the relative atomic mass of each element on the table.
They both arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic mass.

How did the work of Dmitri Mendeleev differ from that of John Newlands in the development of the periodic table? Mendeleev arranged the elements according to increasing atomic mass. Mendeleev predicted elements that would later be discovered. Mendeleev identified elements that had similar properties. Mendeleev organized elements into triads based on their properties.
Mendeleev predicted elements that would later be discovered.
What is the chemical symbol for magnesium? Mo Mn Mg Md
Mg
Moseley made revisions to the periodic table that resolved some of the problems with Mendeleev's version. Which of these was a result of his revisions to the periodic table? The revised periodic table could account for the discovery of new elements. The revised periodic table could account for variations resulting from isotopes. Scientists could begin to write new information onto each element. Scientists could begin to place the table on a single sheet of paper.
The revised periodic table could account for variations resulting from isotopes.

boron
How did Moseley establish a more accurate periodic table? by arranging the elements according to atomic mass instead of atomic number by arranging the elements according to atomic number instead of atomic mass by arranging the elements into horizontal periods by arranging the elements into vertical groups
by arranging the elements according to atomic number instead of atomic mass
