Question

Lothar Meyer obtained the curve for the known elements by plotting their atomic volumes against:

• A. atomic numbers
• B. atomic masses
• C. densities
• D. ionization energies

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

atomic masses

Lother Mayer plotted the graphs between atomic weights as ordinates and atomic volumes as abscissae, the curve obtained represents a series of maxima and minima are occupied by the most electropositive elements.

Hence, the correct option is $\text{B}$
