- BDalton
- CNewlands
3Who created the modern periodic table?
- AMendeleev
- BDalton
- CNewlands
4True or false? The reason why Mendeleev's periodic table worked was because he left gaps for undiscovered elements which may have had similar properties.
- ATrue
- BFalse
5What is unusual about the pair of elements tellurium (Te, Z = 52) and iodine (I, Z = 53)?
