On very early versions of the Periodic Table the elements were organized by Atomic Mass, because it was measurable and the concept of atomic number was unknown. After Rutherford and Bohr developed their model of the structure of the atom, the Periodic Table was reorganized by atomic number (which caused a few elements to swap positions).

Did Mendeleev organize the elements by atomic mass or atomic number?

Mendeleev arranged elements in order of increasing mass. Later modern periodic table was discovered that contains elements arranged by atomic number.


How is the current periodic table of the elements organized?

Mendeleev's version of the Periodic Table was organized by increasing mass. The modern periodic table is now organized by atomic number.


How was periodic table organized?

He organized the elements by the increasing order of the atomic mass.


How was mendaleev table organized by what?

The Mendeleev table, also known as the periodic table, was organized by atomic number, atomic mass, and chemical properties of elements. Mendeleev was able to predict the properties of missing elements based on the gaps in his table.


How was the original periodic table organized?

the original periodic table was based on th elements it had


Which was NOT used by Mendeleev to organize his periodic table?

Atomic number was not used by Mendeleev to organize his periodic table. He organized the elements based on their atomic mass and properties, leaving gaps for undiscovered elements that were later filled.


How atomic number better than atomic mass?

No two elements may have the same atomic number. But two elements may have same atomic mass. Hence atomic number is better than atomic mass.


In modern periodic table the elements are designed on ascending seris of 1. atomic mass 2. mass number 3. atomic number 4. electromic configuration?

In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged in ascending order of atomic number. This is because the properties of elements are primarily determined by the number of protons in the nucleus, which is the atomic number. The periodic table is organized in a way that elements with similar chemical properties are grouped together in columns (groups) and elements with increasing atomic number are arranged in rows (periods). Mass number, atomic mass, and electron configuration are related properties but are not used as the primary basis for organizing elements in the periodic table.


What is the difference between the atomic number mass number and atomic mass?

We can find Atomic Mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.


What properties of elements did mendeleev list as he began to organize the elements?

Mendeleev listed the atomic weights and chemical properties of elements as he began to organize them. He noticed that elements with similar properties appeared at regular intervals when arranged by increasing atomic weight.


What is the relationship btw atomic mass and atomic mass number?

We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.


Why is the atomic mass number not a whole number?

We can find Atomic Mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
