Dmitri Mendeleev arranged the periodic table by atomic weight and left gaps for elements he predicted would later be discovered
Mendeleev's work laid the foundation for the modern periodic table, which is arranged by atomic number. His contributions significantly advanced the field of chemistry.
Remember this
Mendeleev's predictions and organization of the periodic table were crucial in establishing the modern understanding of chemical elements and their properties.
