Dmitri Mendeleev gets most of the credit for the modern periodic table. He deserves a lot of the acclaim, but he built on the work of several other chemists, and a lot of elements have been discovered and added to the periodic table since he developed it.

Here are some resources to learn more about Dmitri Mendeleev and the periodic table:
