A lot of people and especially chemists know what is it periodic table. If we ask someone a question about the creator of the periodic table, he/she will answer us that this was Mendeleev, because modern periodic table has name “D. I. Mendeleev Periodic table”. But is he really was the creator of the periodic table? If no, who was? And why people modernized Mendeleev’s periodic table? All this questions are very interesting, and I will try to explain answers on them, to understand the importance of the periodic table in our time.
First of all, let’s take a look on the history of the formation of periodic table. This is strange, but the one who began to place chemicals in order was not Mendeleev. It was Alexandre Béguyer de Chancourtois.It doesn’t mean that he made P.T, but he made a very significance step in the

He produced some periodic tables between 1864-1870.” His first table contained just 28 elements, organized by their valency (how many other atoms they can combine with). In 1868 he incorporated the transition metals in a much more developed table. This 1868 table listed the elements in order of atomic weight, with elements with the same valency arranged in vertical lines,.” But the main thing is that, he was the first person, who saw the periodic trends in the properties of elements
So, we finally come to the Mendeleev and his “discovery”. After reading about other scientists it is start to be understandable, that Mendeleev didn’t open periodic table. “But his attempt that was so successful that it now forms the basis of the modern periodic table.”It happened in February of 1869.He worked on the right order when “he understood that, if he put them in order according to the increasing of atomic weight, certain types of element regularly occurred. Initially, the table had similar elements in horizontal rows, but he soon changed them to fit in vertical columns, as we see
Ancient scientist like Democritus and Leucippus proposed the idea of the atom(Doc.1). They were the first to start the long train of ideas and knowledge that brought us to the view of the modern atom(O.I). Since then, scientist such as John Dalton and Dmitri Mendeleyev have made huge leaps in the field of atomic science. John Dalton published the atomic theory of matter(Doc.1). Dmitri Mendeleev created the periodic table that modern scientist use daily(Doc.1).
Linus Pauling Linus Pauling was a very important scientist who over seven decades of his life made many discoveries in multiple fields of science including: physical, structural, analytical, inorganic, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. He was born in the 20th century and contributed greatly to science field during this time. He is known for “Pauling’s Rules” and other inventions he is responsible for. He would also go on to write his own books detailing some of his work, he made very diverse discoveries and discovered many things in many different fields; which is very unique for a scientist. Pauling was an activist and was very involved and fought for causes he thought were important.
He received the first clock patent granted by the United States Patent Office in 1797 for his "equation clock. " It was signed by President John Adams and was the first of 10 patents awarded to him in his lifetime. The clocks purpose has never really changed because it has always been used to tell the
For example, it was found that the alkaline earth metals react with O₂ to form XO. From this information, all elements with this reaction could be classified under the second group of elements. Next density was the last deciding factor to determine which elements go into which group. This only needed to be done for hydrogen and fluorine as they were the two elements that did not follow the periodic trend of reacting with similar compounds to form similar reactants. For hydrogen, it is known it is the lightest element from looking at the periodic table, determining it to be the least dense.
Of the known elements, metamorphosis stands to be among the exceptionally used. Authors integrate metamorphosis throughout their
Who discovered it? How did they discover it? It was not Thomas Jefferson and it was not George Washington, so who was it? On the 17th of January 1706, a man by the name of Benjamin Franklin was born.
New elements continue to be added to the periodic table as science knowledge increases. In January of 2016, a news article reported elements with atomic numbers 113, 115, 117 and 118 as approved by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. These elements completed the seventh row of the periodic table. Isdell shows the concept that chemistry continues to expand when Julie names an element in the Land of Science that did not previously exist, Wendelium with the atomic symbol Wd (Isdell, 442).
Benjamin Banneker was an important mathematician who was also African American. Banneker was born on November 9, 1731 in Ellicott’s Mills, Maryland. He always had an interest in mathematics while his grandmother, a freed slave, taught him. His grandmother was not his only source of learning, though, for he also attended a Quaker school until the 8th grade (Benjamin Banneker (1731-1806), n.d., p. xx).
In his book, he used history as a medium to show that “that scientific progress depended more on the accumulation of “new facts” that anyone could discover than on the theoretical insights of a few men of genius”- John G. McEvoy. In his work with electricity, Joseph Priestley anticipated the inverse square law of electrical attraction, discovered that charcoal conducts electricity, and noted the relationship between electricity and chemical change between the two. Through the basis of these experiments, he was elected a member of the Royal Society of London in
Felix Mendelssohn Felix Mendelssohn; pianist, composer, conductor. Mendelsohn was a man of many talents that graced the world with his artistic genius. Many compare him akin to Mozart and Beethoven, and though his life was short lived, he made the most of what he had. Felix Mendelssohn was one of the greatest composers of the 1800s, or the Romantic era in music history. Born in Hamburg, Germany on February 3rd, 1809 to Leah Salomon and Moses Mendelssohn, he was lucky to have been born and raised in a prosperous middle class family.
The standards he put forward in the book framed the premise for cutting edge electrical hypothesis. In 1752 he sent a record of his analysis to the Royal Society of researchers in London and to French researchers. The outside researchers were so inspired with his work that he was chosen a kindred of the Royal Society in 1756 and granted its Copley Medal. In 1773 he was chosen one of the eight remote partners of the Royal Academy of Science in
British chemist Rosalind Franklin is best known for her role in the discovery of the structure of DNA, and for her pioneering use of X-ray diffraction. Franklin was responsible for much of the research and discovery work that led to the understanding of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA. There is probably no other woman scientist with as much controversy surrounding her life and work as Rosalind Franklin. Early Life: British chemist Rosalind Elsie Franklin was born into an affluent Jewish family on July 25, 1920, in Notting Hill, London, England. She displayed exceptional intelligence from early childhood, she always liked facts.
There were several other students that had journals that contributed to the compilation of Table Talks. These students however
The first periodic table was first introduced to us in 1869 by a Russian scientist named Dmitri Mendeleev. Mendeleev studied chemistry at the University of St. Petersburg. Mendeleev’s table had many differences from the one we use today. His periodic table was in order by atomic mass.
There were several scientific breakthroughs in the late nineteenth century that changed the history of events for years to come. Ernest Rutherford preformed the Gold Foil Experiment in 1899. There were three discoveries/models that had an impact on this experiment. First, was when J.J. Thompson discovered electrons in cathode rays and his plum pudding model. Second, was Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovery of x-rays.
