Why is it better to arrange elements in terms of their electronic structure and not in order of their relative atomic masses?
It's not better to do that for everyone, but it certainly is for chemists, since the electron structure of atoms is the building blocks for pretty much...everything they study. Nuclear physicists would surely rather arrange the elements based on atomic masses, for...something I'm sure. Fortunately, the Periodic Table of the Elements has them arranged both ways at the same time, whew!

How had john newlands previously tried to arrange the elements?
John Newlands previously tried to arrange the elements by organizing them in order of increasing atomic mass. He also noticed that every eighth element had similar properties, leading him to propose the law of octaves in 1864.
What arrange the known elements into groups and periods?
The periodic table
Howdid moseley arrange chemical elements?

What are the order of elements on the periodic table based on?
the elements in the modern periodic table are arrange in the increasing order of their atomic numbers.
WHY did Mendeleev arrange the elements in periods?
he put them in groups to show acids from alkali's and gasses from metals
Why is it better to arrange elements according to their electronic structure and not in order of their relative mass number?
The chemical properties of any given element are the result of it electronic structure. The mass number is not related to the electronic structure because the mass includes neutrons, which not related to the electron structure (unlike protons). Any given element exists in more than one form (called isotopes) which have different numbers of neutrons, but the same electronic structure (and the same number of protons).

When ions arrange themselves in an orderly structure what is that structure known as?
When ions arrange themselves in an orderly structure, it is known as a crystal lattice. A crystal lattice is a three-dimensional arrangement of ions in a repeating pattern that gives crystals their characteristic shape.
