Abstract

Between 1869 and 1905 the Russian chemist Dmitrii Mendeleev published several tables with different arrangements of the chemical elements. Four of these are compared with periodic tables by Russian scientists from 1934 and 1969. The difficulties caused by the lanthanoid elements are clearly seen in the table of 1905, which satisfactorily includes the inert gases. The Memorial Table of 1934 is based on atomic number, and correctly places both the inert gases and the lanthanoids.

  I am pleased that Eric Scerri has reminded us of the significance of the concept of triads, and of their important role in the development of the periodic table, and of the power of triads to predict chemical properties of elements.

  It is worth seeking a perfect and ideal periodic table of elements because chemical periodicity reflects independently existing trends in nature rather than merely being an artificial classification designed for our convenience and as an aid to teaching ...
