Select the correct scientist for each of the following advances in creating the modern periodic table.
sergey [27]

Answer:

Lavoisier; Newlands; Moseley

Explanation:

In 1789, Antoine Lavoisier grouped the elements into gases, nonmetals, metals, and earths.

In 1865, John Newlands developed the Law of Octaves. He stated that "any given element will exhibit analogous behaviour to the eighth element following it in the table."  

In 1914, Henry Moseley found a correlation between the X-ray wavelength of an element and its atomic number. He was then able to restructure the periodic table according to atomic numbers.
