HISTORY OF PERIODIC TABLE
• 1850 - 1899
26 new elements were discovered.
French Geologist ALEXANDRE-EMILE-BEGUYER DE CHANCOURTOIS
(1830-1895) noticed the periodicity of the elements, which was the
basis of this early form of periodic table called TELLURIC HELIX.
he discovered that if the elements were arranged in a spiral
form by order of increasing atomic mass, elements with similar
properties lined up vertically.

•1850 - 1899
In 1865, JOHN A. R. NEWLANDS (1837-1898)
classified 56 discovered elements into 11 groups
based on the similar physical properties.
he arranged elements into sets of 8 called LAW
OF OCTAVES based on increasing atomic mass.

HISTORY OF PERIODIC TABLE
• 1850 - 1899
In 1869, the scientific world first saw a periodic table of elements
much like the one we use today.
it was developed by DMITRI MENDELEEV (1834-1907) and presented to
a Russian chemical Society.
he also leaves gaps or empty boxes because he predicted that new
elements would later discovered which would fit into an empty boxes.
He also arranged the elements into tabular form on increasing
atomic masses.

•1850 - 1899
Besides Mendeleev, another German chemist
named Lothar Meyer (1830-1907) was working on a
periodic table.
His table included only 28 elements. When he
published his work, it was almost identical to
Mendeleev’s table.

HISTORY OF PERIODIC TABLE
• 1900-1949
this is the era when interest in quantum mechanics.
13 elements were discovered.
In 1913, HENRY MOSELEY (1887-1915) found the relationship
between an elements X-RAY wavelengths and its atomic number.
His discovery led to rearranging the sequence of the elements by
atomic number instead of atomic weight.
“the properties of the elements are periodic functions of their
atomic number”
HENRY MOSELEY (1887-1915)
HISTORY OF PERIODIC TABLE
•1900-1949
GLENN SEABORG (1912-1999) during his work on the
Manhattan Project (1943), proposed an additional series
in the periodic table called ACTINIDE SERIES.
•1950-1999
16 new elements were added to the existing list.
elements of atomic number 98 and above were
synthesized using bombardment techniques.
HISTORY OF PERIODIC TABLE
•2000 to PRESENT
This is the era of super heavy elements. Just recently,
new super heavy elements were officially given names.
These includes the following:
1. 110 Darmstadium (Ds)
2. 111 Roentgenium (Rg)
3. 112 Copernicium (Cn)
