Periodic table contains elements arranged in rows and columns. It is done according to increasing atomic number.
The first written copy of the Periodic Table of elements was made in [blank] by Dimitri Mendeleev (1834-1907). It was done through a great amount of research by Dimitri, he published a science textbook, and made several drafts of his periodic table. The first English version was made in 1891 based off of the 4th russion edition.
Many modifications were done. Finally moseley's periodic table was accepted.
Unknown to Mendeleev, Lothar Meyer was also working on a Periodic Table. Although his work was published in 1864, and was done independently of Mendeleev, few historians regard him as an equal co-creator of the periodic table.
Firstly, he didn't discover it; the periodic table was invented. Secondly, he wasn't the one to invent it - although his work did contributem that was done by Gregor Mendeleev.

The periodic table should be memorized because it will make you know the symbols without searching for them all of the time. If you are in school, it is very likely that you will be tested on the table.
It's been worked on for many years, but is technically not done yet
This was done only save space. Because there are so many elements in each Group (Group IIIB)--numbering 14 each--the Periodic Table would be twice as wide than as we know it.
Various chemical properties can be determined. It is done by estimation from position of element.
This refers to an old "history of science " topic around the work done prior to mendeleevs on Periodic Table. Elements were put in triads with similar properties. The halogen triad was chlorine, bromine and iodine. Pretty useless idea long term but a good start for people who came later.
LaVoisier did not invent a "periodic" table, he simply was one of the first to make a scientific list of elements, doing so in 1789 with Traité Élémentaire de Chimie . However, this list was not "periodic" in that he made no attempt to line them up by chemical qualities. When this was done by Mendele'ev about 100 years later, a major breakthrough in chemistry was achieved.
