Answer: Law of conservation of mass explains these observations.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products formed must be equal to the mass of reactants taken.

In order to get the same mass on both sides, the atoms of each element must be balanced on both sides of the chemical equation.

2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO

Mass of reactants= mass of Mg+ mass of O_2  = 48 g + 32 g = 80 g

Mass of products = mass of MgO = 80 g

Thus mass of reactants is equal to mass of products, thus law of conservation of mass is obeyed.

Summarize Mendeleev and Moseley's contributions to the history of the periodic table.
timofeeve [1]

Answer:  According to Moseley, similar properties recur periodically when elements are arranged according to increasing atomic number. Atomic numbers, NOT weights, determine the factor of chemical properties.

Mendeleev realized that the physical and chemical properties of elements were related to their atomic mass in a "periodic" way, and arranged them so that groups of elements with similar properties fell into vertical columns in his table
