We chose Henry Moseley as one of the four philosophers because of his well-known

contribution to the periodic table. He is the one who can edit Medeleev's periodic table to make
it more accurate. Instead of organizing the table by atomic mass, he rearranged it so that it was
ordered by atomic number. Moseley was also able to predict the positions of elements whose
positions were not yet known. Moseley's periodic table based on atomic number is now the
foundation of the modern periodic table seen.
