Moseley's basis and Mendeleev's basis both involved experimental measurements. But Moseley's involved X-ray properties, and X-rays were not discovered when Mendeleev first stated the Periodic Law.

Atomic weight and atomic number follow nearly the same sequence, but there are three cases of reversal of order:

Argon element 18 atomic weight 40.0; potassium element 19 atomic weight 39.1.

(Argon was not discovered until 1894; first Periodic Table 1869).

Cobalt element 27 atomic weight 58.9; nickel element 28 atomic weight 58.7.

(Very small difference; Mendeleev gave these two elements identical atomic weights)

Tellurium element 52 atomic weight 127.6; iodine element 53 atomic weight 126.9

(Major problem for Mendeleev -- he insisted that the atomic weight of tellurium had to be 125, but careful re-measurements continued to show 127.5-128)

Moseley's atomic number is definitely a better basis for the periodic law than Mendeleev's original suggestion of atomic weight.

How was moseleys periodic table arranged?

Compared to Mendeleev's periodic table which was arranged my atomic mass, Moseley's was, however, arranged by atomic number.


Does the old periodic table increase by atomic number?

Yes depending on which scientists version of the periodic table you look at. Henry Moseleys ideas on the periodic table was the first to increase by atomic number.
