History of the periodic table the Periodic Law for the chemical elements". He contributed the word 'periodic' in chemistry. The Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev was the first scientist to make a periodic table similar to the one used today. Mendeleev arranged the elements by atomic mass, corresponding to relative molar mass. It is sometimes said that he played 'chemical solitaire' on long train journeys, using cards with various facts about the known elements. On March 6, 1869, Mendeleev gave a formal presentation, "The Dependence Between the Properties of the Atomic Weights of the Elements", to the Russian Chemical Society. In 1869, the table was published
The Periodic Table (Basher book) website had some minor reservations about the book, but said it was "endearing" and succeeded in making learning chemistry easier and more fun. "The Periodic Table: Elements with Style" has also been reviewed in the "Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books" and the "Journal of Chemical Education". The Periodic Table (Basher book) The Periodic Table: Elements with Style is a 2007 children's science book created by Simon Basher and written by Adrian Dingle. It is the first book in Basher's science series, which includes "Physics: Why Matter Matters!", "Biology: Life As We Know It", "Astronomy: Out of this World!",
