Solution
The statement "The properties of the elements are the periodic function of their atomic numbers" is the modern periodic law. It was formulated by H.G.J. Moseley in 1913. His work on X-ray spectra established that atomic number, not atomic weight, is the fundamental property governing an element's position in the periodic table. This corrected earlier versions by scientists like Mendeleev.
Final Answer: H.G.J. Moseley
