This homologous placement of the rare-earth elements shows to what extend Mendeleev s viewpoints had changed by the end of the first half of 1870. What catches the eye is that Dmitrii Ivanovich had switched from placing the rare-earth elements as a group in the periodic system to an individual placement of each element separately (Fig. 11.6). That is, by breaking up the natural group of rare earths, Mendeleev ended up with a set of distinct elements which he set out to accommodate on an individual basis in dijferent groups of the system. 

Mendeleev continued how especially important it was for him to obtain as large an amount of titanium minerals as possible, together with their place of origin, if possible. Specifically rutile [TiOJ, ilmenite [FeTiOs], and also other minerals zirconium [Zr], orthite, or cerite and eschynite. Dmitrii Ivanovich quickly...

In 1869 Dmitrii Ivanovich Mendeleev and several months later Julius Lothar Meyer published independent versions of a periodic system of the elements. Credit for the "periodic law is given to these two scientists (especially Mendeleev) not because they were the first to describe periodic classifications of the elements, but more particularly for the following reasons ...

Russian chemist Dmitrii Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834-1907) is most widely-known for his 1869 formulation of the periodic system of chemical elements. In addition to this achievement, he also explored a variety of topics in physics and chemistry over the course of a very active scientific and political career. Distinctive about Mendeleev s work was his close (although not systematic) attention to various philosophical topics relating to his chemical work. This entry briefly discusses Mendeleev s life, scientific research, and some of his views on the philosophy of chemistry.

The discovery of periodicity in the properties of the elements and its connection to their atomic weights is one of the most important advances in nineteenth-century chemistry. This chapter will consider the tables of John Newlands (1837-1898) and William Odling (1829-1921), which preceded that of Dmitrii Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834-1907). Mendeleev s table was published in 1869, prior to his being aware of the UK precedents of his tabulation. The major portion of this chapter will extend the ideas advanced by Stephen Brush in The Reception of Mendeleev s Periodic Law in America and Britain but wiU restrict itself to the dissemination of the periodicity concept within the United Kingdom. Th is will be monitored by recording its appearances in textbooks and examination papers, and in a wider context, by extracting data from Google Books. 

It may be interesting to mention that Dmitrii Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834-1907) had his first encounter with Italy in October 1860, after the Karlsruhe Congress. Together with his friend Aleksandr Porfir evich Borodin (1833-87), who was also a member of the Russian contingent at the Congress, Mendeleev crossed over the St.
