When this scientist died, Robert Millikan said "If only the death of this one bright mind was all that the war took away from us, it still was a remarkable loss". 

Who is Henry Moseley?

400

The two different names for the bottom two periods on the Periodic Table

What are the inner transition metals and the actinides/lanthanides?
400
