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).
Mendeleev published the periodic table in 1869.

When these elements were discovered, they fitted Mendeleev's predictions so well that they provided enormous support for his ideas. This meant that many more people accepted Mendeleev's work.

Demetri Mendeleev.
The Mendeleev Medal is an award given to Russian and foreign scientists for outstanding contributions to the development of the chemical sciences. It is named after Dmitri Mendeleev, the creator of the periodic table.
When these elements were discovered, they fitted Mendeleev's predictions so well that they provided enormous support for his ideas. This meant that many more people accepted Mendeleev's work.

Dmitri Mendeleev only wrote many books, somewhere around the number of 250 publications. His most famous work is the book "Organic Chemistry" that was published when Mendeleev was 27 years old.
