Solution
Dmitri Mendeleev's periodic table, developed in the 19th century, was primarily based on atomic mass. He arranged elements in order of increasing atomic mass, and he noticed that elements with similar properties appeared at regular intervals. So, using Mendeleev's periodic table, one could predict the atomic mass (D) of an element.
However, the concepts of atomic number (A), number of neutrons (C), and isotopes (B) were not yet developed or understood during Mendeleev's time. The modern periodic table is arranged by atomic number, not atomic mass. Therefore, these could not be predicted using Mendeleev's original periodic table.
