The periodic table was first described by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1871 and has since become an important tool for scientists. It has moved from being a theoretical framework to the basis of chemistry and chemical engineering. It also serves as a basis for many other unquantified concepts such as magnetism or conductivity.

Mendeleev drew up the table after rediscovering the correct arrangement of metals and non-metals in 1869-70. He arranged them in the order of weight in such a way that their organizational principles have been taught in schools ever since.
