What is the other name of the periodic table of elements?
It is also called
Mendeleev’s periodic table after the name of a prolific
Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev (1834-1907) .
In 1869 Mendeleev published an article, in which presented his first version of a table containing then known elements arranged in order of relative atomic mass.
He also noticed that there were plenty of gaps in the table and exceptions to the emerging patterns, and predicted that there were elements that existed but simply hadn’t yet been discovered.
Confirmed in later years, those predictions made Mendeleev’s theory even more valuable.
For example, when the element that should fit below aluminum in his table was discovered in 1875 and called gallium, its properties were found to be very close to Mendeleev's calculations.
Important scientific contributions that helped Mendeleev were also made by Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner, John Newlands, Julius Lothar Meyer.
