He studied in gymnasium and in 1850 entered the Pedagogical Institute in St. Petersburg to

organic chemistry at St. Petersburg University.

In 1863 Mendeleev was appointed to a professorship. Mendeleev is best known for his work on

the periodic table; arranging the 63 known elements into a Periodic Table based on atomic mass,

which he published in Principles of Chemistry in 1869. His first Periodic Table was compiled on

the basis of arranging the elements in ascending order of atomic weight and grouping them by

similarity of properties. He predicted the existence of new elements.

Dmitri Mendeleev died in 1907 in St. Petersburg. He made a great contributoion to the world
