As stated by the Periodic Law, the changes in elemental properties depend on their

1. nuclear masses
2. atomic numbers
3. neutron-to-proton ratios in the nucleus
4. atomic masses

Correct answer: atomic numbers

Solution

The Periodic Law indicates that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers, meaning that as the atomic number increases, the elemental properties change in a predictable manner.
