Solution
The correct option is C Moseley Moseley discovered the atomic numbers from X-ray spectra of elements by bombarding the elements with cathode rays and the elements emitted respective X-rays of characteristic frequency.
The atomic number has provided a better basis for the periodic arrangement of the elements.
Modern periodic law :
Physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers and electronic configuration.
