When Mendeleev devised the periodic table’s rough form, he started with 63 known elements. To make the table work, he had to leave gaps where as-yet undiscovered elements might be placed....

Legend has it that Mendeleev conceived and created his table in a single day: February 17, 1869, on the Russian calendar (March 1 in most of the rest of the world). But that’s probably an exaggeration. Mendeleev had been thinking about grouping the elements for years, and other chemists had considered the notion of relationships among the elements ...
Born in Tobolsk, in Siberia, in 1834 (his parents’ 17th child), Mendeleev lived a dispersed life, pursuing multiple interests and traveling a higgledy-piggledy path to prominence. During his higher education at a teaching institute in St. Petersburg, he nearly died from a serious illness. After graduation, he taught at middle schools (a requirement...
In many instances in the history of science, grand predictions based on novel equations have turned out to be correct. Somehow math reveals some of nature’s secrets before experimenters find them. Antimatter is one example, the expansion of the universe another. In Mendeleev’s case, the predictions of new elements emerged without any creative mathe...
