The arrangement of elements in the Modern Periodic Table is based on their
- increasing atomic mass in the period
- increasing atomic number in the horizontal rows
- increasing atomic number in the vertical columns
- increasing atomic mass in the group
Correct Answer: (b) increasing atomic number in the horizontal rows
Explanation: The arrangement of elements in the Modern Periodic Table is based on their atomic number. The atomic number increases along the horizontal rows.
