Newland's table of the elements. After Dmitri Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer received the Davy Medal from the Royal Society for their later 'discovery' of the periodic table in 1882, Newlands fought for recognition of his earlier work and eventually received the Davy Medal in 1887.
The history of the periodic table reflects over two centuries of growth in the understanding of the chemical and physical properties of the elements, with major contributions made by Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner, John Newlands, Julius Lothar Meyer, Dmitri Mendeleev, Glenn T. Seaborg, and others. [1] [2]
Mendeleev's periodic table had brought order to all the elements, allowing him to make predictions that future scientists tested and found to be true. By the time he died he was world-renowned in chemistry. His periodic table was set in stone in St Petersburg and an element was eventually named after him: mendelevium.
Alexandre-Emile Béguyer de Chancourtois publishes the telluric helix, an early, three-dimensional version of the periodic table of the elements. [65] 1864 John Newlands proposes the law of octaves, a precursor to the periodic law. [65] 1864 Lothar Meyer develops an early version of the periodic table, with 28 elements organized by valence. [66 ...
This organization surpassed earlier attempts at classification by Alexandre-Émile Béguyer de Chancourtois, who published the telluric helix, an early, three-dimensional version of the periodic table of the elements in 1862, John Newlands, who proposed the law of octaves (a precursor to the periodic law) in 1864, and Lothar Meyer, who ...
August 20 – John Alexander Reina Newlands produces the first periodic table of the elements. [5] November 27 – Barbituric acid is first synthesized, by German chemist Adolf von Baeyer. Lothar Meyer develops an early version of the periodic table, with 28 elements organized by valence. [6] [7]
In 1862, two years before John Alexander Reina Newlands published his classification of the elements, de Chancourtois created a fully functioning and unique system of organising the chemical elements. His proposed classification of elements was based on the newest values of atomic weights obtained by Stanislao Cannizzaro in 1858. [7]
