Mendeleev
The next milestone in the development of the periodic table was set by the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev, who is generally acknowledged as the “father” of the modern periodic table. Mendeleev wrote out the names of the elements, along with their atomic weights and other properties, on cards, which he then laid out in rows and columns much like a game of solitaire. When the elements were ordered according to atomic weight, Mendeleev, like de Chancourtois and Newlands, could see that certain chemical properties were repeated periodically; however, not all the elements fit this pattern neatly. Mendeleev's solution was to move certain elements to new positions, despite their accepted weight, in order to group them with other elements sharing similar properties. (Nearly half a century later, after the periodic table was revised according to atomic number rather than atomic weight, these elements fell into place.)

Mendeleev's work on periodic law—which states that the properties of elements recur periodically as their atomic weights increase—was announced in 1869. At about the same time, a German chemist named Julius Lothar Meyer independently arrived at a periodic table that was remarkably similar to Mendeleev's. Unfortunately for Meyer, Mendeleev presented his work to the scientific community first. However, Mendeleev's table was also superior to Meyer's because he left a number of empty spaces to account for elements that were yet to be discovered.

Answer:

  • Revised Mendeleev's periodic table.
  • Realized that the Atomic Mass was not as important in organizing the elements as the atomic number

Explanation:

Comparison between Mendeleev's and Moseley periodic table follows:

  1. Mendeleev's periodic table:
  • Mendeleev added elements in columns by the way they reacted.
  • Mendeleev left those spaces blank in his periodic table which he believes were undiscovered elements.
  • Mendeleev arranges the elements according to increasing Atomic weight.

    2. Moseley's periodic table:

  • Moseley arranged the elements according to increasing Atomic number.
  • Moseley revised Mendeleev's periodic table and developed a new understanding of periodic law.
  • Moseley realized that the Atomic Mass was not as important in organizing the elements as the atomic number.
