Moseley worked on many theories about the [[atomic number]]. This soon became known as [[Moseley's law]] in [[X-ray spectroscopy|X-ray spectra]]. Moseley's Law helped prove many ideas in [[chemistry]] by organizing the [[chemical element]]s of the [[periodic table]] of the [[element]]s{{Disambiguation needed|date=May 2024}} in a quite logical order based on their physics. Moseley was shot and killed during the [[Battle of Gallipoli]] on 10 August 1915, at the age of 27. Some people say that he could have won the [[Nobel Prize in Physics]] in 1916 if he was never killed. ==Further reading== * {{cite book | authorlink = John L.
