It all started with Russian chemist Dmitry Mendeleev, who in 1869 arranged the known elements into a table based on their atomic masses and chemical properties.

Mendeleev's periodic table was revolutionary, as it not only organized the elements, but also predicted the existence of elements yet to be discovered.

Fast forward a few decades, and new elements were indeed discovered, filling in the missing spaces in Mendeleev's table and confirming his predictions.

By 1913, Henry Moseley added the concept of atomic number to the periodic table, further solidifying its use as a tool for understanding the elements.

Today, the periodic table includes 118 elements, each with its unique properties and uses. From the lightest hydrogen to the heaviest element, oganesson.
