In Ancient Greece, the influential Greek philosopher Aristotle proposed that there were four main elements: air, fire, earth and water. All of these elements could be reacted to create another one; e.g., earth and fire combined to form lava. However, this theory was dismissed when the real chemical elements started being discovered. Scientists needed an easily accessible, well organized database with which information about the elements could be recorded and accessed. This was to be known as the periodic table.
The periodic table of the elements is not a physical table, it is a concept. It is made out of thought.
The word you want is: heterogeneous, but I have no idea how it relates to the periodic table!
Lothar Meyer thought about the periodic table before Dmitri mendleev. However, his work was not published until after the work of Mendleev.
In Mendeleev's periodic table, the elements were arranged in the increasing order of their atomic masses and repeating periodic properties.
Dmitri Mendeleev is credited with the publication of the first widely recognized periodic table.

I have no idea how to answer that. All the things listed in the periodic table are elements, and there are a lot more than 32 of them.
Because the properties of the elements change in a periodic fashion. In the early versions, when fewer elements were known, the chemically similar elements were thought to occur every eight positions.

The basic idea is that when arranged in a certain way (the way presented in the periodic table), elements in the same column tend to have similar properties.
i have know idea but i think
