Andreas von Antropoff his Periodic Table in the article ""Eine neue Form des periodischen Systems der Elemente"" in the "Zeitschrift für angewandte Chemie" in 1926. The periodic table is regularly numbered from 1 - Hydrogen to 118 - Oganesson, with "each number representing the number of protons stored within an atom's nucleus in a satisfying balance" compared to most other contemporary tables. In addition he placed the theoretical "Element zero", which had "been a matter of conjecture for nearly a century" atop his periodic table and called it Neutronium. His periodic table was in widespread use in German schools until 1945 and soon
History of the periodic table History of the periodic table The periodic table is an arrangement of the chemical elements and are organized on the basis of their atomic numbers, electron configurations and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number. The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements with rows called periods and columns called groups. The history of the periodic table reflects over a century of growth in the understanding of chemical properties. The most important event in its history occurred in 1869, when the table was published by Dmitri Mendeleev, who built upon earlier
