Answer: Mendeleev’s Periodic Table was built by listing the known elements in order of increasing atomic mass and grouping the elements by their properties (such as reactivity and formula of oxides). In one or two cases, he discovered that he had to put a lower atomic mass element after a higher atomic mass element because the table which went strictly by increasing atomic mass produced groups with inconsistent properties. He also left blanks in the table.</h3>
In modern times, we know that the elements in a given group (also known as a family or column) have the same number of valence electrons, with ground state configurations having a consistent pattern, for instance:
F 1s2 2s2 2p5, Cl 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5, Br 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p5, etc.
Of course, the ground state configurations play a major role in determining how an element reacts and what compounds it forms. Thus, the elements in a given group have similar properties.
The structure of the table also predicts how the properties vary. For instance, atomic radius increases down a group as does metallic character.

Explanation:
A. neutrons
Isotopes <span>contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei.</span>
N=1.2·10²⁴
Nₐ=6.0221·10²³ mol⁻¹
n₂(H₂O)=4 mol
n₁(H₂O)=N/Nₐ
n=n₁+n₂=N/Nₐ+n₂
n=1.2·10²⁴/6.0221·10²³ + 4 = 5.99 mol
