He, too, classified the elements on the basis of atomic weight. The English chemist John Newlands came up with his form of periodic table in 1865.
Later, when new elements were added to the triads, his theory could not be established. According to his periodic table, the atomic weight of the middle element in the triad was an average of the atomic weights of the other two elements. His periodic table was based on the atomic weight of chemical elements. The German chemist Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner created a periodic table called Laws of Triads, in 1829. His proposals were dismissed, when the chemical elements were discovered. For instance, lava can be formed by combining earth and fire. He proposed that combining these elements can lead to the formation of a new one. Aristotle’s Theoryĭuring the ancient times, Greek philosopher Aristotle believed that the four main elements are: air, earth, fire and water. However, with the discovery of new elements and new theories on the structure of atoms the basic structure of Mendeleev’s original periodic table has undergone several changes. Since the ancient period, scientists have suggested various forms of the periodic table, but the credit for the modern form of periodic table goes to the Russian chemist, Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev.
