Mendeleev (1834 – 1906) was a Russian chemist who became a professor at Saint Petersburg University. He is best known for identifying properties of elements and the creation of the periodic table of elements, which [...] joined the research group of the famous Chemist, Robert Bunsen. That follow- ing year was one of the best years of Mendeleev’s life—he formed many friendships and learned a vast amount. In the next year,
