Development of Periodic Table Timeline
The document describes the discovery timeline of various chemical elements from 1668 to 1952. It notes that elements like carbon, sulfur, iron, tin, lead, copper, mercury, silver and gold were known since ancient times. It then details the year of discovery for additional elements such as phosphorus, cobalt, nickel, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, chlorine, and more, crediting the discovering scientists. The timeline shows most elements were discovered in the 18th-19th centuries by chemists from various European countries through experiments and analysis of minerals.

- 19. Antoine-Laurent de LavoisierHennig Brand Lavoisier's Traite Elementairede Chimie (Elementary Treatise of Chemistry) is considered to be the first modern textbook about chemistry. It contained a list of "simple substances" that Lavoisier believed could not be broken down further, which included oxygen, nitrogen, hydr ogen, phosphorus, mercury, zin c and sulfur, which formed the basis for the modern list of elements. first person in history to discover a new element Dmitri Mendeleev was the first scientist to make a periodic table similar to the one used today. Henry Moseley He was then able to re-sequence the periodic table by nuclear charge, rather than by atomic weight. Moseley's discovery showed that atomic numbers were in fact based upon experimental measurements. Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner formed the triads of elements with similar properties like the triad of calcium, barium and strontium. 1817 John Newlands an English chemist proposed the Law of Octaves. He based his classification of elements on the fact that similar properties could be noted for every eight element when they are arranged in order of increasing atomic masses. 1863 1869 1649 1914 1789
