After Moseley's discovery in 1913, the periodic law stated that physical and chemical properties tend to repeat periodically when elements are arranged according to what trend? A) decreasing atomic number B) increasing atomic number C) increasing atomic mass D) decreasing atomic mass

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option B.

Before Moseley's discovery in 1913, In Mendeleev's periodic table the elements rearranged with increasing atomic mass.

Mendeleev was not able to locate hydrogen atom and late isotopes found violate Mendeleev table. The biggest drawback was that the atomic mass was not regular when moving one element to another.

But Moseley's arranged element in the periodic table with increasing atomic number.
