Dmitri Mendeleev
The periodic table
Russian chemist (1834-1907) who organized the elements into a predictive pattern.
He laid out the known elements by weight and properties — then boldly left gaps, predicting the existence and traits of elements not yet discovered. When gallium and germanium turned up exactly as forecast, the table became chemistry's master map.
