Explanation:

As you move across a period, you gain more electrons and become more electronegative. The electrons become very attracted to the protons in the nucleus. This causes the electrons to become closer to the nucleus, decreasing atomic radii and increasing density.

Who is considered the founder of the periodic table of the elements?

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Dmitry Mendeleev

Explanation:

Around 1869 a Russian scientist, Dmitry Mendeleev formed what is now known as the periodic table or chart. The Mendeleevian periodic table was based on the atomic weights of elements using the periodic law. The periodic law states that "chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights".

The modern periodic table was re-stated by Henry Moseley in the 1900s. He changed the basis of the periodic law to atomic masses.
