Two scientists, Dmitri Mendeleev and
Lothar Meyer both came up with
periodic tables that showed how
elements should be group. Both of
them arranged the elements in order
of increasing atomic mass while
putting in groups with similar
properties.They left blank spaces

Antoine Bequerel first discovered
radioactivity. Thomson student from
New Zealand named three types of
radiation: Alpha,Beta& Gamm rays.
Marie & Pierre Curie started working
on the radiation of uranium& thorium
& subsequently discovered radium&
polonium.
Henry Moseley determined the
atomic number of each elements and
modified the ‘Periodic Law’.
Glenn Seaborg synthesized

The work of Johhan Dobereiner, a
German chemist who formed the
Triad OF Elememnts with similar
properties like the Triad of
CalciumBarium & Stronium.
Atleast 47 elements were discovered
& the scientists began to see the
patterns and characteristics.
Jakob Berzelius developed table of
atomic weights & introduced letters
to symbolic elements.
William Ramsey & Lord Rayleigh
discovered the noble gases.
English chemist,an John Newlands,
proposed the law of octaves.He based
his classifications on the fact that
similar properties could be noted for
every 8 element when they are
arranged in order of increasing
atomic masses then discovered 56
elements in 11 groups.
Carl Wilhelm Scheele & Joseph
Priestly independently isolated
oxygen.
John Dalton Proposed “Dalton’s Law’
describing the relationship between
the components in a mixtures of
gases.
