Solution
The correct option is C Lother Meyer According to this if the atomic weights were plotted as ordinates and the atomic volumes as abscissae-the curve obtained a series of maxima and minima-the most electropositive elements appearing at the peaks of the curve in order of their atomic weights and electronegative element at the ascending positions.
