This is how fluorine appears in the periodic table.

Which two chemists organized elements based on properties such as how the elements react or whether they are solid or liquid?
While looking at calcium (Ca) on the periodic table, a student needs to find an element with a greater atomic mass in the same period. Where should the student look?
Dmitri Mendeleev and Henry Moseley developed their periodic tables about forty years apart. During that time, many discoveries in chemistry were made.
Based on the information in the table, which two elements are most likely in the same group, and why?

Part of one row of the periodic table is shown.

While developing his periodic table, Dmitri Mendeleev broke his own rule and placed the element tellurium before iodine in the group. He did this even though tellurium's atomic mass was known to be greater than iodine's. In his notes, Mendeleev stated that he expected tellurium to have a lower atomic mass than iodine. However, all measurements continue to show that tellurium has a greater atomic mass than iodine even though tellurium acts like it has a lower atomic mass.
