Jeremiah Gilbert · Answer 2

D) Elements are organized into groups with similar properties.

Explanation:

The periodic table is an arrangement of elements based on particular properties.

The arrangement starts from Doberneir law of triads, then to Newland's law of octave, then Mendleev's law, where he arranged the elements based on their atomic weight.

Now the periodic table has been arranged based on the atomic number of elements as it is believed that the atomic number is related to the properties of the elements.

Based on the atomic number, elements got arrangement into groups with similar properties.
