History of the

Periodic table
Alexandre-Emile
Beguyer de
chancourtois
Alexandre was an geoloigist. His principal
contrabatían in the chemistry was the vis tellurique,
a three dimensional arrangement of elements
constituting an early form of the periodic
classification in 1862

The telluric screw, created by de Chancourtois,

showed atomic weights on a cylinder's surface. Each
turn represented a weight increase of 16 units. It
grouped similar elements vertically. While not
perfect, it was the first to organize elements by
weight, paving the way for the modern periodic
table.

Jhon new lands was educated by his father at Hidrógeno
home. He studied in 1856 at the Royal College of No metal
Chemistry,he is remembered for his search for a
pattern in inorganic chemistry.

lNewlands noticed that elements with atomic
weights differing by seven showed similarities, Og
calling it "The Law of Octaves" like in music. His
table didn't include spaces for undiscovered Oganesón
elements, sometimes squeezing two elements Gas noble
into one box. The Chemical Society rejected his
paper, suggesting an alphabetical list instead.
