The mendeleev and moseley periodic charts had
gaps for undiscovered elements. why do you think the chart used by moseley was more accurate at predicting where new elements would be placed?

The chart used by Moseley was more accurate at predicting where new elements would be placed - due to fact that Moseley's chart was based on using the atomic number of the element, not the chemical properties or the atomic mass as Mendeleev.

Mendeleev's table had organized the elements by their atomic mass whereas Moseley's table had organized the elements by their atomic number.

Thus, due to fact that Moseley's chart was based on using the atomic number of the element, not the chemical properties or the atomic mass as Mendeleev.

Because of the similarities between elements of the same period, this often created problems in establishing an order; Moseley's work enabled the change of the atomic number from an arbitrary selection to a definable property, measurable through experimentation.
