Although Mendeleev's [[periodic table]] was brilliant, there were still some things wrong about it. The way that the elements were arranged still did not always group the elements that were similar. One of Ernst Rutherford's assistants, | Although Mendeleev's [[periodic table]] was brilliant, there were still some things wrong about it. The way that the elements were arranged still did not always group the elements that were similar. One of Ernst Rutherford's assistants, Henry Moseley, suggested that they develop a way to count the number of [[protons]] in an atom's [[nucleus]]. Once he created a way to do this, he realized they needed to revise the [[periodic table]] to make it more accurate, now that they could find the number of [[protons]] in an atom. He changed the [[periodic table]] and the [[periodic law]]. The [[modern periodic law]] states, ''The properties of elements vary with their atomic numbers in a periodic way''. <ref name=BJU/> | ||
