A student considers how Moseley's work changed the arrangement of the Periodic Table.
Statement 1: Moseley showed that each element has its own atomic number.
Statement 2: The atomic number was later explained as the number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
Statement 3: Using atomic number explains why elements in the same group have similar chemical behaviour.
Statement 4: When the elements are arranged in order of atomic number, iodine still has to be placed out of order so that it sits with the other halogens.
