Henry Moseley is considered the father of the modern periodic table because of his understanding of the atomic structure and subatomic particles. He was even able to solve the riddle of Mendeleev’s table. […]
Held to agree on a uniform system of measuring and reporting experimental results, the Karlsruhe Conference led to considerable developments in chemistry, particularly in the development of the periodic table. […]
Henry Cavendish, Antoine Lavoisier, Dmitri Mendeleev, and Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner are among the many chemists who worked hard to discover new elements and helped in the development of the periodic table. […]
John Dalton provided compelling evidence for the existence of atoms. However, atoms were not indivisible, as assumed. They have a complex structure, a structure built up from particles even smaller than atoms. […]
For consistency, it is important that the names of the elements are same across different countries. To facilitate this, the IUPAC was formed in 1919. It has since set rules for naming the elements. […]
The periodic table of elements was first designed by Dmitry Mendeleev. Since then, many changes were introduced to the table as scientists continued to learn more about the elements. […]
