Moseley, Lorimer

Henry Moseley was a physicist who, in 1913, discovered that each element has a unique number of protons in its nucleus, called the atomic number. This clarified the organization of the periodic table, showing that elements are ordered by increasing atomic number rather than atomic weight. Lorimer, on the other hand, might refer to various individuals, but if you mean Henri Lorimer, he was a linguist or scholar; however, he isn’t widely associated with Moseley's work. If you mean someone specific like a scientist related to Moseley, please clarify.
