Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner (13 December 1780 – 24 March 1849) was a German chemist who is known best for work that was suggestive of the periodic law for the chemical elements, and for inventing the first lighter, which was known as the Döbereiner's lamp. [1] He became a professor of chemistry and pharmacy for the University of Jena.

Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner, who attempted to sort the elements in an order which consisted of triads. In the history of the periodic table , Döbereiner's triads were an early attempt to sort the elements into some logical order and sets based on their physical properties.
Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner (1825) Döbereiner's lamp, also called a "tinderbox" ("Feuerzeug"), is a lighter invented in 1823 by the German chemist Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner. The lighter is based on the Fürstenberger lighter (invented in Basel in 1780; in which hydrogen gas is ignited by an electrostatically generated spark). Döbereiner's ...
Johann Joachim Becher (of the phlogiston theory) identified silica as the terra vitrescibilis, and Johann Heinrich Pott recognised it as an individual "earth" in his treatise of 1739. [3] Silica appears as a "simple earth" in the Méthode de nomenclature chimique , and in 1789 Lavoisier concluded that the element must exist. [ 3 ]
Mendeleev's periodic table had brought order to all the elements, allowing him to make predictions that future scientists tested and found to be true. By the time he died he was world-renowned in chemistry. His periodic table was set in stone in St Petersburg and an element was eventually named after him: mendelevium.
