Answer:

He realized that some elements had not been discovered.

Explanation:

Some scientists that tried to arrange the list of elements known before Mendeleev include Antoine Lavoisier, Johann Döbereiner, Alexandre Béguyer de Chancourtois, John Newlands, and Julius Lothar Meyer.

Dimitri Mendeleev was so succesful that he is recognized as the most important in such work.

Mendeleev by writing the properties of the elements on cards elaborated by him, and "playing" trying to order them, realized that, some properties regularly (periodically) repeated.

The elements were sorted in increasing atomic weight (which is not the actual order in the periodic table), but when an element did not meet the pattern discovered, he moved it to a position were its properties fitted.

The amazing creativity of Mendeleev led him to leave blanks for what he thought were places that should be occupied by elements yet undiscovered. More amazing is that he was able to predict the properties of some of those elements.

When years after some of the elements were discovered, the genius of Mendeleev was proven because the "new" elements had the properties predicted by him.

The independent variable would be the variable in the research that is being manipulated by the researcher. In this case, it would be temperature in the cage as it is what is being manipulated and changed in the research design. The dependent variable would be the variable that is being studied so, for this case, it would be the length and the weight of the mice. The constants are the factors that might affect the dependent variable but is held constant or the same by the researcher throughout the experiment. These are the size of the cage, amount of food and the exercise wheel. The flaw that the scientist would be studying the length of the mice since I don't think the temperature has any effect on it. And base from he results, the change in lengths are not conclusive.

1: The atomic number of an atom is equivalent to which of the following?

IrinaVladis [17]

I think the correct answer among the choices presented above is option C. The atomic number of an atom is equivalent to the number of protons in the nucleus. For a neutral atom, it is also the number of electrons since in a neutral atom protons and electrons are present in equal number.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The gain in mass by the negative electrode is the same as the loss in mass by the positive electrode. So the copper deposited on the negative electrode must be the same copper ions that are lost from the positive electrode.
