Dmitri Mendeleev in 1890 Dmitri Mendeleev's second wife, Anna. In 1876, he became obsessed [citation needed] with Anna Ivanova Popova and began courting her; in 1881 he proposed to her and threatened suicide if she refused. His divorce from Leshcheva was finalized one month after he had married Popova (on 2 April) [51] in early 1882.
— George Stinney, African-American child and youngest American with an exact age executed by the United States (16 June 1944), on whether he had any final words before his wrongful execution via electric chair. 14-year-old Stinney was tried and sentenced to death by Judge Philip H. Stoll in under three hours on 14 April after an all-white ...
In 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev published a periodic table of all elements known at that time (he later predicted several new elements to complete the table, and corrected some atomic weights). A few months later, Meyer published a paper that included a revised version of his 1864 table that now included virtually all of the known elements, which was ...

Dmitri Mendeleev (1834–1907) [70] Arranged the sixty-six elements known at the time in order of atomic weight by periodic intervals (1869). Physical chemistry: Mikhail Lomonosov (1711–1765) The first to read lectures in physical chemistry and coin the term (1752). Jacobus van 't Hoff (1852–1911)
1869: Dmitri Mendeleev: Periodic table. 1871: Lord Rayleigh: Diffuse sky radiation (Rayleigh scattering) explains why sky appears blue. 1873: Johannes Diderik van der Waals: was one of the first to postulate an intermolecular force: the van der Waals force. 1873: Frederick Guthrie discovers thermionic emission.
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. On the Discovery of the Periodic Law and on Relations among the Atomic Weights (1884)
The 1871 periodic table constructed by Dmitri Mendeleev. The periodic table is one of the most potent icons in science, lying at the core of chemistry and embodying the most fundamental principles of the field. The history of chemistry represents a time span from ancient history to the present. By 1000 BC, civilizations used technologies that ...
