Dmitri Mendeleev
1834—1907
Russian chemist
Created one of
the first versions
of Periodic Table of
Elements
Elements arranged in
pattern
that made it possible
to predict
properties of elements
yet to be discovered
Contracted
tuberculosis
moved to Crimean
Peninsula
near the Black Sea
returned to St.
Petersburg
Went to Paris
worked on density of
gases
Worked with
spectroscope
in Heidelberg with
Kirchhoff
Professor of chemistry
in St. Petersburg
In 1869 made
presentation
to Russian Chemical
Society:
The
Dependence Between
the
Properties of
the
Atomic Weights
of
the Elements
Anticipated discovery
of still unknown
elements
predicting their
atomic weight
and properties
Lothar Meyer developed
similar table at same
time
Element mendelevium
named for him
