What was Dmitri Mendeleev's greatest contribution to the history of the periodic table?

• He arranged all of the known elements by their atomic number

• He realised that there was a pattern of reactivity which repeated every 8 elements

• He predicted the existence (and properties) of new elements

• He identified the "law of triads" which became the groups

Why were there blank spaces left in Mendeleev's periodic table?                                              

• He didn't know what to put there.

•  Undiscovered elements not yet known.

• Multiple elements could have fit

• He forgot to add the elements in.

A ___________ is an arrangement of elements in columns

• columns

• rows

• periodic table

• electron shell
