Mendeleev, a Russian who enjoyed playing solitaire, marked a set of blank cards with the known elements, then divided them into groups based upon how they combined (i.e. by what we now call "valence"), with "metals" (i.e. electron donors) to the left, and "non-metals" to the left.
Next, he arranged each group by weight (or mass), with lighter (less-dense) ones to the top and heavier (denser) ones toward the bottom.
What emerged was "The Periodic Table" arranged in eight major columns that reflect the outer "octet" of electrons (with another ten columns interspersed, to account for more-complex atoms that transition from eight to eighteen electrons in the intermediate orbits).
