Mendeleev's periodic system of chemical elements
British Journal for the History of Science 19 (1):3-17 (1986)
Abstract
Between 1869 and 1871, D. I. Mendeleev, a teacher at the University at St Petersburg published a textbook of general chemistry intended for his students. The title, Principles of Chemistry was typical for the time: it meant that chemistry was no longer an inquiry on the ultimate principles of matter but had become a science firmly established on a few principles derived from experimentAuthor's Profile
