Dmitri Mendeleev Quotes
Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834 – 1907) was a Russian chemist most famous for his contributions to the Periodic Table. He was the first to publish a periodic table similar to the one we use today and is credited for discovering the Periodic law. More importantly, he put the elements in their right places in his periodic table correctly pointing out that their atomic weights had been measured incorrectly; and brilliantly predicted the existence and properties of yet undiscovered elements. It was due to Mendeleev’s genius that the Periodic Table was popularized in the scientific community and hence he is regarded as the Father of the Periodic Table. Mendeleev’s other accomplishments include important contributions in determining the nature of solutions; defining the critical temperature of gases; work in transforming the petroleum industry in Russia; and introducing the metric system in Russia.
