Mendeleev was born in Tobolsk, Siberia, of Ivan Pavlovich Mendeleev and Maria Dmitrievna Mendeleeva (nee Kornilieva). At the age of 14, after the death of his father, Mendeleev attended the Gymnasium in Tobolsk. A prominent Mendeleev biographer has said he was the 13th surviving child of 17 total, though the exact number differs among sources.[1] In 1849, the now poor Mendeleev family relocated to St. Petersburg, where he entered the Main Pedagog ...

Mendeleev, after becoming a teacher, wrote the definitive two-volume textbook at that time: Principles of Chemistry (1868-1870). As he attempted to classify the elements according to their chemical properties, he noticed patterns that lead him to postulate his periodic table. Unknown to Mendeleev, several others had also been working on their own tables of elements. The process of Mendeleev's table system emerging as the best was a gradual one. One such table was John Newlands, who published his Law of Octaves in 1864. However, ...

Eka is a prefix for a chemical element which is listed in the periodic table under another element. The prefix eka- was used especially to name as yet undiscovered elements. For example germanium was called ekasilicon until its discovery. The prefix originates from the Sanskrit word "eka" meaning "one" and was coined by Dmitri Mendeleev. The prefixes dvi- and tri- from the Sanskrit prefixes meaning "two" and "three" respectively, have been used for undiscovered elements two or three places in the periodic t ...

Vodka is a typically colorless liquor, usually distilled from fermented grain. It is commonly thought that the term is a diminutive of the Slavic word "voda" (woda, вода) for "water." Except for insignificant amounts of flavorings, vodka consists of water and alcohol (ethanol). Vodka usually has an alcohol content ranging from 35 percent to 60 percent by volume. The classic Russian vodka is 40 percent (80 degrees proof), the number being attributed to the famous Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev. According to the Vodka Museu ...

The Copley Medal is a scientific award for work in any field of science, the highest award granted by the Royal Society of London. It is also the society's oldest award, the first medal being awarded in 1731. The award was created after a £100 bequest in 1709 to the Royal Society by Sir Godfrey Copley, a wealthy landowner from Sprotbrough, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, who was elected to the Society in 1691. It is one of ten medals that the Society awards (some awards are made annually, others at different intervals ...

The hypothesis of abiogenic petroleum origin (synonyms: abiotic, abyssal, endogenous, inorganic, juvenile, mineral, primordial) holds that petroleum is formed by non-biological processes deep in the earth's crust and mantle. It contradicts the more widely-held view that petroleum is a fossil fuel produced from the remains of ancient living organisms. The constituent precursors of petroleum (mainly methane) are commonplace and it is possible that appropriate conditions exist for hydrocarbons to be formed deep within the earth ...

In 1871 germanium (Latin Germania for Germany) was one of the elements that Dmitri Mendeleev predicted to exist as a missing analogue of the silicon group (Mendeleev called it "ekasilicon"). The existence of this element was proven by Clemens Winkler in 1886. This discovery was an important confirmation of Mendeleev's idea of element periodicity. The development of the germanium transistor opened the door to countless applications of solid-state electronics. From 1950 through the early 1970s, this area provided an increasing ma ...

Dmitri Mendeleev, also spelt Dmitry Mendeleyev, middle name (patronymic) Ivanovich, a Siberian-born Russian chemist, was the first scientist to make a periodic table much like the one we use today. Mendeleev arranged the elements in a table ordered by atomic mass. On March 6, 1869, a formal presentation was made to the Russian Chemical Society, entitled The Dependence Between the Properties of the Atomic Weights of the Elements. His table was published in an obscure Russian journal but quickly republished in a German journal, Zeits ...

Dmitri Mendeleev used his periodic law, in 1869, to predict the existence and some properties of three unknown elements including one he called ekaboron . Lars Fredrick Nilson and his team, apparently unaware of that prediction in the spring of 1879, were looking for rare earth metals; using spectrum analysis he found a new element within the minerals euxenite and gadolinite. He named it Scandium, from the Latin Scandia meaning "Scandinavia", and by way of isolating the element he processed 10 kilograms of euxenite with other rare-earth residues, obtaining about 2 grams of very pure scandium ...

Tobolsk was founded by Yermak's Cossacks in 1585-86 during the first Russian advance into Siberia near the ruins of Siberia Khanate's capital Qashliq. It became the seat of the Viceroy of Siberia and prospered on the trade with China and Bukhara. It was there that the first school, theatre, and newspaper in Siberia were established. Daniel Defoe made his Robinson Crusoe stay in Tobolsk from September 1703 to June 1704. With administrative divisions of the territory, Tobolsk remained the seat of the Governor-General of Western Siberia ...

Moseley was born in Weymouth, England. In 1906 he entered Trinity College of the University of Oxford, and on graduation from that institution went to Manchester University to work with Ernest Rutherford. For his first year at Manchester, he had a full teaching load, but after a year he was relieved of his teaching duties and began full-time research. In 1913, by using x-ray spectra obtained by diffraction in crystals, he found a systematic relation between wavelength and atomic number, Moseley's law. Previous to this, atomic numbers ...
