Responses
Because elements of the same size are found in the same rows.
Because elements of the same size are found in the same rows.
Because the elements on the periodic table are arranged by order of discovery.
Because the elements on the periodic table are arranged by order of discovery.
So that elements with similar masses are right next to each other.

The correct response is:
**So that elements with similar properties are aligned in the same column.**
The empty spaces in the periodic table are there to ensure that elements with similar chemical properties are arranged in vertical columns (groups), even if they are not directly next to each other. This arrangement reflects the periodic law, which states that the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers.
