Atomic weight doesn't increase in a constant manner with respect to elements increase in atomic number.
Where as while taking about atomic number it increases in a specific manner so it's easy to arrange a periodic table .

At before Duberinor,Mendeleev tried to use atomic weight but they failed .

The chemical properties are mainly dependent on the electrons, or in some cases the charge of the protons, which is independent of the number of neutrons.So,they are arranged by increasing atomic number…

Why in a rollercoaster when the cart is going up it decreases the speed of the cart but when it's going down it increases?

Because gravity is trying to pull it down not up and when it's going down it's going with gravity not against it.

If fresh water flows into mono lake why is the lake salty

kaheart [24]

Mountains surround mono laks forming a closed hydrological basin--water fows into the lake, but it doesn't flow out. The only way for water to leave Mono Lake is through evaporation. ... Because the lake has no outlet, it is naturally saline.
