    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    The first periodic table to become generally accepted was that of the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869; he formulated the periodic law as a dependence of chemical properties on atomic mass. As not all elements were then known, there were gaps in his periodic table, and Mendeleev successfully used the periodic law to predict some ...

    The lightest of the Group 0 gases, the first in the periodic table, was assigned a theoretical atomic mass between 5.3 × 10 −11 u and 9.6 × 10 −7 u. The kinetic velocity of this gas was calculated by Mendeleev to be 2,500,000 meters per second.

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_element

    Much of the modern understanding of elements developed from the work of Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian chemist who published the first recognizable periodic table in 1869. This table organizes the elements by increasing atomic number into rows ("periods") in which the columns ("groups") share recurring ("periodic") physical and chemical properties ...

    2010 — Harrison Spiral Periodic Table: The organisation of the elements closely follows H. G. Deming's 1923 Periodic Table where A B numeration was first utilized to correspond the characteristic oxides of the 'B' groups to those of the 'A' groups.

  9. Döbereiner's triads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Döbereiner's_triads

    By 1829, Döbereiner had found other groups of three elements (hence "triads") whose physical properties were similarly related. [2] He also noted that some quantifiable properties of elements (e.g. atomic weight and density) in a triad followed a trend whereby the value of the middle element in the triad would be exactly or nearly predicted by taking the arithmetic mean of values for that ...
