Etymology

The word Mendeleyev is the name of a Russian chemist who lived from 1834 to 1907 and who arranged the chemical elements into the first widely known periodic table. He even predicted some 'missing' elements before they were discovered, so the name Mendeleyev now reminds us of that table and those discoveries.
