Dmitri Mendeleev 1834-1907
Mendeleev’s great achievement:
•Arranging all of the 63 elements into groups possessing similar properties.
•The 63 elements at that time were identified by their atomic weights.
Mendeleev’s first sketch of a periodic table of the elements
Details of how Mendeleev designed the first Periodic Table of Elements •He wrote down information on each
element on cards. •He noticed that the atomic weight (we
now refer to as the atomic mass) could be used to rank the elements from lightest to heaviest.
•Mendeleev noticed that if you looked at their chemical properties there was a periodicity of properties, (patterns at regular intervals or similarity between properties) especially if you left spaces where the properties did not fit.
•He stressed that there was order to the elements, and that this order would help predict elements not yet discovered.

Mendeleev’s table as published in 1869, with many gaps and uncertainties
•Mendeleev predicted the properties of aluminum, boron, and silicon.
•Gallium, scandium, and germanium were also found to fit his predictions.
•There were some discrepancies, but the format of the table is the basis of today’s periodic table.
•Mendeleev’s table as published in 1869.
