Andreas von Antropoff his Periodic Table in the article ""Eine neue Form des periodischen Systems der Elemente"" in the "Zeitschrift für angewandte Chemie" in 1926. The periodic table is regularly numbered from 1 - Hydrogen to 118 - Oganesson, with "each number representing the number of protons stored within an atom's nucleus in a satisfying balance" compared to most other contemporary tables. In addition he placed the theoretical "Element zero", which had "been a matter of conjecture for nearly a century" atop his periodic table and called it Neutronium. His periodic table was in widespread use in German schools until 1945 and soon
Periodic table atomic number gives a definitive, integer-based sequence for the elements. Moseley predicted, in 1913, that the only elements still missing between aluminium (Z=13) and gold (Z=79) were Z = 43, 61, 72, and 75, all of which were later discovered. The atomic number is the absolute definition of an element, and gives a factual basis for the ordering of the periodic table. The periodic table is used to predict the properties of new synthetic elements before they are produced and studied. In 1871, Mendeleev published his periodic table in a new form, with groups of similar elements arranged in columns
