Section 6.1: Development of the Periodic Table

We will continue our discussion and elaboration upon the major characteristics of the periodic table by examining closely how a scientist can build upon the work of another in order to synthesize the periodic table as we know today, starting with Antoine Lavoisier and John Newlands through the works of Dmitri Mendeleev that culminates with Henry Moseley who finally organized the modern Periodic Table of the Elements as we know it today.
