Who is the father of the Periodic Table?

• Mendeleev
• Dalton
• Einstein
• Newton

The modern periodic table is arranged in order of increasing

• atomic mass
• number of valence electrons
• atomic number
• number of neutrons

What information in the periodic table indicates the number of protons in an atom?

• the position of the element in its column
• the element's chemical symbol
• the element's atomic number
• the element's atomic mass

The elements in a column of the periodic table 

• are in the same family
• are in the same period
• have the same atomic mass
• have the same chemical symbol

Which of the following have the same number of valence electrons?

• the elements in a period
• the elements in a group
• the elements having similar atomic masses
