  • what did Dalton do?
    ordered elements in order of atomic weight
  • What did Newland do?
    He produced the 'law of octaves'. He assumed all elements had been found, so filled all octaves even though some weren't similar so other scientists rejected it. Also ordered them in atomic weight
  • What did Mendeleev do?
    Mendeleev ordered elements in atomic weight. He left gaps for undiscovered elements, he used these gaps to predict the properties of the undiscovered elements
  • What did Moseley do?
    He ordered them in atomic number, how they are arranged today
