B - Atomic number. Dmitri Mendeleev organised the table according to atomic weight, however this caused problems with elements such as iodine and tellurium, Iodine has a higher mass, but a lower atomic number. And to make iodine in the same group as similar elements (halogens), Mendeleev had to break his own rules and put it before tellurium in the table. Moseley fixed this problem by ordering the elements according to atomic (proton) number.
Answer:
Molecular geometry Vsepr
According to VSEPR, the valence electron pairs surrounding an atom mutually repel each other; they adopt an arrangement that minimizes this repulsion, thus determining the molecular geometry. This means that the bonding (and non-bonding) electrons will repel each other as far away as geometrically possible.

Explanation:
The reaction between alcohol and acidified potassium dichromate is a redox reaction. This reaction can be used to detect a drunken driver.
Alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids depending on the structure of the alcohol. Primary alcohols yield adehydes and carboxylic acids while secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones.
The colour of the acidified potassium dichromate turns from orange to green when exposed to alcohols from the breath of a drunken driver.
