Henry Moseley developed the Modern Periodic Table based on atomic number.
Moseley’s work in 1913 using X-ray spectroscopy showed that the atomic number (the number of protons in an atom’s nucleus) is a more fundamental property than atomic mass for organizing the elements. Arranging elements by increasing atomic number resolves anomalies present in Mendeleev’s table.
