D. I. Mendeleyev

 D.I.Mendeleyev, the great Russian scientist, was born in Tobolsk in 1834. After finishing school, at the age of 16, he went to St. Petersburg and entered the Pedagogical Institute. He graduated from the Institute in 1855. In 1866 Mendeleyev was appointed professor at the University where he gave a course of lectures on chemistry. His lectures were always listened to with great interest and attention. Even in a class of two hundred students everyone was able to follow his discussions from the beginning to the end.

 Interesting experiments were made in his classes. Both he and his students – assistants worked long hours in preparing the demonstrations so that all would go well.

 At the University Mendeleyev taught classes in the morning. In the afternoon he made experiments in his two room laboratory. At night Mendeleyev spent much of his time working with the cards on which he put down information about each of the chemical elements.

 Mendeleyev made thousands of experiments with his own hands. He made thousands of calculations, wrote a lot of letters, studied many reports. Everything in the world that was known about the chemical elements Mendeleyev knew. For months, for years he searched for missing data. All those data were being brought together and grouped in a special way. In 1869 the description of more than 60 elements was completed, and Mendeleyev published his Periodic Table.

 The Periodic Table is spoken of as the beginning of a new era in chemical thought.

 In addition to this work Mendeleyev paid much attention to many subject of an applied chemical nature. He was the first to put forward the idea of studying the upper layers of the atmosphere.

 Mendeleyev was elected member of many academies abroad.

 He died in February 1907 at the age of 75.
