Henry Moseley

November 23, 1887- August 10, 1915 

Moseley studied mathematics at Eton College and then at Trinity College of the University of Oxford.

Researching x-ray emissions of elements, he rearranged the periodic table by atomic number rather than atomic mass.


Fun Fact: Many speculate that Moseley would have won the Nobel Prize in 1916 if he hadn't been killed during WWI.
