The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
To make a table of the elements, dimitri Mendeleev sorted the elements according to their?
Answer:
Atomic weights
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimitri Medeleeve is a Russian scientist who worked assiduously on the project of developing a system of classifying all the elements. His periodic table was filled with spaces as many atoms weren't yet discovered. 'Eka' prefix was used to name some elements whose properties closely resembled that of their predecessors in Mendeleev's system of classification.
The dependence of the atomic properties on the weight of the atom was the basis for Mendeleeves' original classification. According to Medeleeve, elements having similar chemical properties are also expected to have similar atomic weights and their atomic weights was found to increase regularly.
The Mendeleeve concept of periodic arrangement of elements is the closest precursor of the modern periodic table as it is used in chemistry. Mendeleev arranged the elements in order of increasing relative atomic mass .
