History Lesson
The first iteration of the Periodic Table of Elements was created by a Russian Chemist
The Periodic Table of Elements is a chart that organizes all the known chemical elements according to their atomic structure and chemical properties. The first version of the periodic table was created in 1869 by a Russian chemist named Dmitri Mendeleev, but the idea of organizing elements in a systematic way had been proposed by other scientists before him.
Mendeleev's breakthrough was to arrange the elements in order of increasing atomic weight and to group them according to their chemical properties. He noticed that certain elements had similar properties and placed them in the same column of the table. He also left gaps in the table for elements that had not yet been discovered but predicted their properties based on their position in the table. When these elements were later discovered, their properties matched Mendeleev's predictions, proving the accuracy of his periodic table.

Did you know?
The Periodic table has undergone some major changes since its creation
Scientists have discovered new elements and reorganized the table based on a new understanding of atomic structure and properties. For example, the discovery of noble gases in the late 1800s led to the creation of a new column on the periodic table, while the development of quantum mechanics in the early 1900s led to a new understanding of atomic orbitals and electron configurations.
Despite these changes, the periodic table remains a vital tool for chemists and other scientists today. It helps us understand the properties of elements and their interactions with other substances, and it provides a framework for predicting the behavior of new and unknown substances.
