Question

select the correct answer from each drop - down menu. mendeleevs table of elements was better accepted than those of other scientists at the time because moseley went a step further in suggesting that the elements be arranged according to drop - down box options: it could accommodate new elements, it could form triads of elements reset next

Explanation:

Mendeleev's periodic table was better accepted because it could accommodate new elements (by leaving gaps for undiscovered elements, which were later found to fit the pattern), while arranging by triads (as in Dobereiner's triads) was less comprehensive. So the correct option for why Mendeleev's table was better accepted is "it could accommodate new elements".

Answer:

it could accommodate new elements
