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. | ||
