Dimitri Ivanovich Mendeleev

1834-1907

 

  He was a professor of chemistry at the University of St. Petersburg in Russia, he was famous for his periodic table of the elements. Meyer was a codiscoverer of the periodic arrangement of the elements, but Mendeleev’s approach — a descriptive table based on chemical properties and valence — proved more useful and even allowed the prediction of new elements.
