Short Answer:
The creation of the Periodic Table of the Elements is credited to Dmitri Mendeleev.
Long Answer:
The Periodic Table of the Elements has no one creator. It has ten official contributors and is still being added to today. Here is a list of contributors, date of contribution, and the contribution as best as I can type it in this box.
Aristotle -- ~330 BC -- Four element theory: earth, air, fire, and water.
Antoine Lavoisier -- ~1770-1789 -- Wrote the first extensive list of elements containing 33 elements. Distinguished between metals and nonmetals.
Jöns Jacob Berzelius -- 1828 -- Developed a table of atomic weights. Introduced letters to symbolize elements.
Johann Döbereiner -- 1829 -- Developed 'triads', groups of three elements with similar properties.
Lithium, sodium, and potassium formed a triad.
Calcium, strontium, and barium formed a triad.
Chlorine, bromine, and iodine formed a triad.
John Newlands -- 1864 -- The known elements (less than 60) were arranged in order of atomic weights and observed similarities between the first and ninth elements, the second and tenth elements etc. He proposed the 'Law of Octaves'.
Lothar Meyer -- 1869 -- Compiled a Periodic Table of 56 elements based on the periodicity of properties such as molar volume when arranged in order of atomic weight.
Dmitri Mendeleev -- 1869 -- Produced a table based on atomic weights but arranged 'periodically' with elements with similar properties under each other. Gaps were left for elements that were unknown at that time and their predicted properties (the elements were gallium, scandium, and germanium). The order of elements was re-arranged if their properties dictated it, eg, tellerium is heavier than iodine but comes before it in the Periodic Table.
William Ramsay -- 1894 -- Discovered the Noble Gases.
Henry Moseley -- 1914 -- Determined the atomic number of each of the elements. He modified the 'Periodic Law' to read that the properties of the elements vary periodically with their atomic numbers.
Glenn Seaborg -- 1940 -- Synthesised transuranic elements (the elements after uranium in the periodic table).

∙ 11y agoHenry Moseley created the modern periodic table by putting the elements in order by atomic number. Dmitri Mendeleev made the first periodic table that could successfully predict future elements, but ordered his elements by Atomic Mass, which we do not do today.

What contributions to science were made by Dmitri Mendeleev?
He invented the periodic table. You must know what that means; he was the father of basic chemistry. Actually, he didn't discover the periodic table. He just arranged the only elements he had available in his day (not a lot) and arranged them based on patterns of # of protons, electrons, reactivity, etc. He didn't have an in-depth knowledge yet of electron configuration ;however, his "guess" turned out to have so many great implications that we now use his invention everyday everywhere.
What does k stand for in periodic table?
All symbols in the periodic table begin with UPPER CASE letters. K in the periodic table represents the element POTASSIUM.
How are the trends in the periodic table helpful in identifying an element?
The periodic trends that arise from the arrangement of the periodic table provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an element's properties. These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective group families or period and the periodic nature of the elements.
Where is the Actinide series located on the periodic table?
The second row of the bottom 2 rows under the periodic table. (Period 7, starting at Group 4)
How do you use the periodic table of the elements?
Scientists from all over the world use the periodic table as it is quicker for equations, and its a symbol all of them will know from the Chinese to the Indian, so its an easier way all round.
Who was the scientist that organized the elements into a table that you use today and what was the table called?
i don't know the scientist but it is the periodic table of the elements
How do you know which letters are in the periodic table?
You look at the periodic table.
Why would Mendeleev's periodic table be smaller than the one we know today?
Because back in 1869 they didn't know all of the periods that we know today.
What did Dmitri Mendeleev do during the Industrial Revolution?
Mendeleev laid the foundation for theperiodictable that we know today
What is the periodic table of elements used for?
The "Periodic Table of Elements" is used for classifying the elements, and to know which one is which.
What is the periodic table (apex)?
A tool to organize the elements

What is the six element of the periodic table of elements?
Family six on the Periodic Table of elements is also know as Chalcogens
Why Do you Use Periodic Table?
To know the no. Of elements
How many elements do you currently know of?
Today the periodic table contain 118 chemical elements; 94 are considered natural elements.
What does k stand for in periodic table?
All symbols in the periodic table begin with UPPER CASE letters. K in the periodic table represents the element POTASSIUM.
History of periodic table?
The history is that Dymitry Mendeleev is the inventer of long time periodic table that's all i know
