In 1869 he published a table of the elements organized by increasing atomic mass.
Mendeleev is called the "father of the modern periodic table
stated that if the atomic weight of an element caused it to be placed in the wrong group, then the weight must be wrong. (He corrected the atomic masses of Be, In, and U)
was so confident in his table that he used it to predict the physical properties of three elements that were yet unknown.
After the discovery of these unknown elements between 1874 and 1885, and the fact that Mendeleev's predictions for Sc, Ga, and Ge were amazingly close to the actual values, his table was generally accepted.
However, in spite of Mendeleev's great achievement, problems arose when new elements were discovered and more accurate atomic weights determined.

A chemist (from Greek chēm (ía) alchemy; replacing chemist from Medieval Latin alchimista[1]) is a scientist trained in the study of chemistry. Chemists study the composition of matter and its properties. Chemists carefully describe the properties they study in terms of quantities, with detail on the level of molecules and their component atoms. Chemists carefully measure substance proportions, reaction rates, and other chemical properties. The word 'chemist' is also used to address Pharmacists in Commonwealth English.
Answer:
a) 
b) 
c) 
d) 
Explanation:
For neutral atoms:
Atomic Number (Z)= number of protons = number of electrons
Mass number (A) = number of protons + number of neutrons
For ions with positive net charge:
Number of protons = Z + net charge
For ions with negative net charge:
Number of protons= Z - net charge
a) A = 71, Charge = +3
Number of electrons = 28
Number of protons = 28 +3 =31
b) A = 35, Z = 45+35=80, Charge = -1
Number of protons =35
Number of neutrons = 45
Number of electrons = 36
Charge = Number of protons- Number of electrons =35-36 = -1
c) Charge = +4
Number of electrons = 86
Number of protons = Z = 86+4 = 90
mass number = A = 90+142 = 232
d) Charge = +2
Atomic number = Number of protons = Z = 38
mass number = A = 87
Answer: Heat causes surrounding air to rapidly expand and vibrate, which creates the pealing thunder we hear a short time after seeing a lightning flash.
