Respuesta :
At the end of a period we get an inert gas which is very unreactive compared with the previous element ( a halogen).
The answer is A.
Dimitri Mendelev knew when to end a row (period) and start a new one when the the reactivity of the elements changed drastically.
Dimitri Mendelev was one of the early scientists who attempted a classification of chemical elements based on increasing atomic mass. He had to revise his table many times before he arrived at a classification system that works.
Usually, the reactivity of elements decreases from left to right in the periodic table. At the end of the period, we find noble gases that are unreactive.
Dimitri Mendelev ended a period and started a new one when this sudden change in reactivity of elements occur.
