Know the Answer?

Braylen Reynolds · Answer 1

atomic mass

Brooke Hicks · Answer 2

atomic weight or atomic mass.

Explanation:

The development of periodic table starts from the Dobereiner's law of triad where he arranged the elements based on the average of atomic weight of two elements. the middle element was supposed to one with the atomic weight average of the two other elements.

Then the Newland law of octave was proposed where he observed the changes in the periodic trend based on atomic weight after seven elements.

Later Mendleev arranged the elements based on atomic weight only.

Thus the answer is atomic weight or atomic mass.

In modern version we use atomic number to arrange elements.
