Dmitri Mendeleev published a periodic table of the chemical elements in 1869 based on properties that appeared with some regularity as he laid out the elements from lightest to heaviest. [1] When Mendeleev proposed his periodic table, he noted gaps in the table and predicted that then-unknown elements existed with properties appropriate to fill ...
Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (/ ˌ m ɛ n d əl ˈ eɪ ə f / MEN-dəl-AY-əf; [2] [b] [a] 8 February [O.S. 27 January] 1834 – 2 February [O.S. 20 January] 1907) was a Russian chemist known for formulating the periodic law and creating a version of the periodic table of elements.

An important breakthrough in making sense of the list of known chemical elements (as well as in understanding the internal structure of atoms) was Dmitri Mendeleev's development of the first modern periodic table, or the periodic classification of the elements. Mendeleev, a Russian chemist, felt that there was some type of order to the elements ...
Dmitri Mendeleev invents the periodic table, bringing order to the understanding of the elements for the first time; Marie Curie discovers several elements, including polonium and radium, and discovers radioactivity, demonstrating that elements can change identities and may consist of previously unsuspected subcomponents.
Dmitri Mendeleev's periodic table from 1871 with gaps (-) left for new elements. Mendeleev's table reveals the relationship between all the elements in their order: Atomic weights increase reading from left to right; Triads and Octaves are visible reading down the columns.
Mendelevium was discovered by bombarding einsteinium with alpha particles in 1955, the method still used to produce it today. It is named after Dmitri Mendeleev, the father of the periodic table. Using available microgram quantities of einsteinium-253, over a million mendelevium atoms may be made each hour. The chemistry of mendelevium is ...
Pyrocollodion is a smokeless powder invented by Dmitri Mendeleev. A variant of the nitrocellulose family of compounds, it was discovered by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1892. He had proposed its use as a replacement for gunpowder in the Russian Navy. This offer was rejected because of cost and efficiency considerations.
