About
Born in 1834, Mendeleev became interested in chemistry as a young boy and pursued his passion throughout his education. In 1869, he published his groundbreaking work, where he organized the known elements into a logical and structured table based on their atomic mass and chemical properties. This periodic table not only helped in understanding the properties and relationships of elements but also predicted the existence and properties of unknown elements at the time. Mendeleev's work laid the foundation for modern chemistry and his periodic table is still widely used to this day. Additionally, he made significant contributions to various fields of science, industry, and education in Russia, revolutionizing the study of chemistry and shaping the future of the discipline.
