Answer 1

The correct response is: **Moseley assumed that elements can be arranged by atomic number, while Mendeleev assumed that elements can be arranged by atomic mass.**

Henry Moseley established the concept of arranging elements by atomic number (the number of protons in the nucleus), which resolved inconsistencies in Mendeleev's periodic table that were based on atomic mass.
