4. He always
tried to be
the best
that he
could be,
And chose
to make
his mark in
chemistry.
5. Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev was his full
name
Born in Tobolsk, Siberia, Russia
He was a Russian chemist
Born on February 8, 1834
Parents were Ivan Pavlovich Mendeleev and
Maria Dmitrievna Kornilieva
Mendeleev died on February 2, 1907
6. Studied at St. Petersburg and graduated in 1856
After graduating from St. Petersburg he was
appointed to a professorship
Three years after being appointed to a
professorship he succeeded to the chair in the
University
He was considered one of the greatest teachers of
his time
7.
8. Davy Medal from Royal Society of England in
1882
Domindov Proze for his book "Organic
Chemistry"
Copley Medal from the Royal Society of
England (its highest award) in 1905
9. In 1893, he was appointed the Director of the
Bureau of Weights and Measures.
In 1905 Dmitri Mendeleev was elected a
member of the Royal Swedish Academy of
Sciences.
The crater Mendeleev on the Moon, as well as
an element number 101, the radioactive
Mendelevium, are named after him.
11. Dmitri Ivanovich
Mendeleev is the
creator of the first
version of the
Periodic Table of
Elements. Using the
table, he predicted
the properties of
elements yet to be
discovered.
12. He investigated the heat expansion of liquids,
and devised a formula similar to Gay-Lussac's
law of the uniformity of the expansion of
gases
He investigated the composition of oil fields,
and helped to found the first oil refinery in
Russia.
He formulated new state standards for the
production of vodka
He invented pyrocollodion, a kind of
smokeless powder based on nitrocellulose.
13. He wondered if Nature
really had a master
plan, If the elements
had a pattern that one
could understand.
So he bought a bunch of
cards and on each one
wrote the name of an
element and its
weight, and then he
played the game.
14. He put them all in
order by their
atomic weights,
used their chemical
properties to
differentiate.
Groups began to form
and despite some
question marks, he
managed to produce
a simple periodic
chat.
15. At first in 1869 the
chart was not a hit,
but that young Russian
chemist was not the
kind to quit.
He revised atomic
weights and stayed
his whole career,
predicting that several
new elements would
appear.
16. A few years passed
and sure enough
they came, Gallium,
scandium,
germanium were
their names.
Chemists everywhere
were impressed
with what they saw
17. So they call him the
father of the
periodic table, and
his work gave rise
to another kind of
label.
It’s the name for
element number
101,in honor of
this man they call it
Mendelevium.
