1. Mendeleev left spaces in his periodic table and predicted the existence of
three elements and their
2. Mendeleev noticed that properties of elements usually repeated at
regular intervals when the elements were arranged in order of increasing
3. Moseley's work led to the realization that elements with similar properties
occurred at regular intervals when the elements were arranged in order of
increasing

arrangement than atomic mass for elements in the periodic table is an
arrangement by
