What is an element's atomic mass?
Average mass of the different forms of that element's atoms
How did Moseley change the arrangement of the elements on his periodic chart?
He rearranged the elements by atomic number
What is the basis for the periodic table?
The Periodic Law
What is the Periodic Law?
the repeating chemical and phiscial properties of elements relate to and depend on the elements' atomic numbers
When did Mendeleev discover a pattern to the elements?
1869
What was the pattern that Mendeleev discovered about elements?
Similar physical and chemical peroperties repeated in evert eighth element. There was a repeating pattern
How many groups did Mendeleev use to group the elements?
7 groups because every eighth element had similar properties
