Julius Lothar von Meyer was a German chemist. He was contemporary and competitor of Dmitri Mendeleev to draw up the first Periodic Table of chemical elements.
Meyer is best known for the share he had in the periodic classification of the elements. He noted that if they are arranged in the order of their atomic weights they fall into groups in which similar chemical and physical properties are repeated at periodic intervals; and in particular he showed that if the atomic weights are plotted as ordinates and the atomic volumes as abscissae, the curve obtained presents a series of maxima and minima, the most electro-positive elements appearing at the peaks of the curve in the order of their atomic weights.
This scientist was J. J. Thomson.
The periodic law was revised by English scientist Henry Moseley. While investigating the X-Rays of elements in the laboratory of Rutherford, he discovered that each element was specifically associated with an atomic number. The arrangement of the elements in increasing atomic number led to the correct alignment of the elements.
Lothar Meyer organized his own table of elements in 1869. He developed a periodic table that displayed elements based on their atomic weights and properties, which helped to highlight the periodicity of elemental characteristics. His work was contemporaneous with Dmitri Mendeleev's table, which was published the same year.
Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier and John Newlands were first to dicover the table but later the scientist named dimitri mendeleev full arranged the elements discovered at that time
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.
Julius Lothar Meyer played a significant role in the development of the periodic table by independently publishing a periodic table of elements that showed the correlation between atomic volume and atomic weight. His work helped pave the way for the later development of the modern periodic table based on atomic number. Meyer's contribution, along with that of Dmitri Mendeleev, laid the foundation for our current understanding of the organization of elements.
Lothar Meyer's periodic table did not account for all known elements and did not correctly predict the properties of undiscovered elements. Additionally, it did not account for the concept of atomic number, which led to inconsistencies in the ordering of elements. Meyer's table also lacked a clear underlying periodic trend.

Julius Lothar Meyer was a German chemist who made significant contributions to the development of the periodic table of elements. He proposed his atomic theory in 1864, which stated that the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights. Meyer's work laid the foundation for the modern periodic table we use today.
He helped with the periodic table of elemnts.
