The periodic table was first developed by the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. A number of people had attempted to create tables before him, but his plan to list the elements using atomic number, and laying them out in 'periods' so that elements which behaved in similar ways lined up made his table easily the most important and useful.
