Day Questions - 8

Dmitri Mendeleev was a Russian chemist who developed the periodic table of elements. He studied to become a teacher in St. Petersburg and often had to work in bed due to illness. In 1860, he attended a conference that inspired his work on the periodic table. He published his periodic table in 1869, arranging elements by atomic weight and properties in a table. His predictions about undiscovered elements added to his reputation.
