Year Picture of The Scientist Name of Scientist Contributions

The document outlines the contributions of several scientists throughout history that helped develop the periodic table of elements including: - Beguyer de Chancourtois who in 1862 arranged elements spirally by properties on a cylinder and noted similarities every three elements - Newlands who in 1864 arranged elements by atomic weight and noticed periodic similarities every eight elements, proposing the "law of octaves" - Meyer who in 1869 compiled a table of 56 elements based on repeating physical property patterns with increasing atomic weight - Mendeleev who in 1869 produced the first recognizable periodic table, arranging elements by atomic weight but leaving gaps for undiscovered elements

PICTURE OF THE SCIENTIST

NAME OF SCIENTIST

CONTRIBUTIONS Listed the elements on paper tape and wound them, spiral like, around a cylinder. Certain threes of elements with similar properties came together down the cylinder. He called his model the telluric screw.

1862

A.E.Beguyer de Chancourtois French geologist

1864

John Newlands English chemist

Noticed that, if the elements were arranged in order of atomic weight, there was a periodic similarity every 8 elements. He proposed his law of octaves on this.

1869

Lothar Meyer German

Compiled a periodic table of 56 elements based on a regular repeating pattern of physical properties such as molar volume. Once again, the elements were arranged in order of increasing atomic weights.

1869

Produced a periodic table based on atomic weights but arranged Dmitri Ivanovich periodically. Elements with similar Mendeleev - Russian properties appeared under each other. Gaps were left for yet to be discovered elements.

1894

William Ramsay

Discovered the noble gases and realized that they represented a new group in the periodic table.

1914

Henry Moseley

Determined the atomic number of each of the known elements. He realized that, if the elements were arranged in order of increasing atomic number rather than atomic weight, they gave a better fit within the periodic table.

1940

Glenn Seaborg

Artificially produced heavy mass elements such as neptunium. These new elements were part of a new block of the periodic table called actinides.
