Whose name is not associated with the development of periodic table?

Options

  1. AProut's
  2. BNewlands
  3. CRutherford
  4. DLother Meyer

Correct answer

C. Rutherford

Step-by-step solution

Prout's gave unitary theory for the development of periodic table. He suggested that the atoms of all the element are made up of hydrogen atom. Newlands gave law of octaves: According to him, "If elef̂ents are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic weights, the eighth element starting from the given one is the repetition of the first like the eighth node in an octave of music. Lother Meyer's plotted the atomic volumes (i.e., at. wt/density) of various elements against their atomic weight and pointed out t
