< BackNext >PreviewMain 10. In Mendeleev’s periodic table, the element iodine (I) came before tellurium (Te). He arranged the elements by atomic weight. Later, Henry Moseley revised the table to place iodine after tellurium. Explain the basis for Moseley’s revision to the periodic table. Chapter 12 CRCT Preparation

< BackNext >PreviewMain Chapter 12 CRCT Preparation 10. Answer - Full-credit answers should include the following: Moseley’s version of the periodic table is based on atomic number, not atomic mass. Some elements have higher atomic masses than the following element that has a higher atomic number. Therefore, some elements were rearranged when atomic numbers were discovered and used to organize the periodic table.

< BackNext >PreviewMain 11. Answer - Full-credit answers should include at least four of the following points: Members of the alkali metals are all metals and therefore are shiny and are good conductors. Alkali metals are soft and can be cut with a knife. Atoms of alkali metals have one electron in their outermost energy level. Alkali metals have low densities. Alkali metals are very reactive. Alkali metals are silver in color. Chapter 12 CRCT Preparation
