On March 6, 1869, chemist and
inventor Dmitri Mendeleev first presented his periodic table of elements to the
Russian Chemical Society. At that time this table included 56 elements.
Currently, the number of elements in this table has reached 118 and the last
time a new element was added to it was in 2016.
Mendeleev was nominated three times
for the Nobel
Prize in 1905, 1906 and 1907 but was never awarded the Nobel
Prize. In 1906, when he was nominated for the Nobel
Prize, but instead of Mendeleev, the Nobel
Prize Committee gave the Nobel
Prize to the French chemist Henri Moissan, who discovered the element
Fluorine in 1886.
It is also a strange thing that many
chemists and physicists were awarded the Nobel
Prize for improving Mendeleev's table, but Mendeleev was never awarded the Nobel
Prize.
