Mendeleev was the inventor of the periodic table. He organized all the known elements into the periodic table based on atomic number. He was also able to predict the existence â¦ of elements that had not yet been discovered based on gaps in the table he created.
Another person to propose a periodic table was Lothar Meyer, who published a paper in 1864 describing 28 elements classified by their valence, but with no prediction of new elements. After becoming a teacher, Mendeleev wrote the definitive textbook of his time: Principles of Chemistry (two volumes, 1868â1870).n 1907, Mendeleev died at the age of 72 in Saint Petersburg from influenza. The crater Mendeleev on the Moon, as well as element number 101, the radioactive mendelevium, are named after him.
