Here are some questions about the elements, their properties, and periodicity. in each case. the correct answer is the name of an element (one of the two given). write the answer in the appropriate space at right, placing the first letter in the first blank. there are more than enough blanks to fit either element name, so the number of letters in the name cannot be used as a clue. when the puzzle is complete, the periodic law will be displayed in the shaded column. record the periodic law at the bottom of the page.

Please provide more details of the elements to help answer the question

Explanation:

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
