Dimitri Mendeleev, the father and inventor, of the Periodic Table, was born on February 7, 1834 in Tobolsk, Siberia in Russia.
Mendeleev then went further, using the remaining gaps and spaces in his periodic table, he correctly concluded that a group of yet unknown elements must exist to fill in the gaps in the Periodic Table, this was the group we now know as the lanthanides.
Fifty years after Dimitri Mendeleev created the Periodic table, the British scientist Henry Moseley discovered that the number of protons in the nucleus of a particular type of atom was always the same.

The "periodic" nature of chemical properties that Mendeleev had discovered is related to the electron configuration of the atoms of the elements.
The row, or period, number that an element resides in on the table is equal to the number of total shells that contain electrons in the atom.
H and He in the first period normally have electrons in only the first shell; Li, Be, B, and other period-two elements have two shells occupied, and so on.

With the elements arrangedin a spiral on a cylinder by order of increasing atomic weight, de Chancourtois saw that similar elements lined up vertically.His paper was published in 1862, but used geological rather than chemical terms and did not include a diagram; as a result, itreceived little attention until the work of Dmitri Mendeleev.
Dmitri Mendeleev, a Siberian-born Russian chemist, was the firstscientist to make a periodic table much like the one we use today.Mendeleev arranged the elements in a table ordered by atomic mass.
An English chemist, William Odling, also drew up a table that is remarkably similar to that of Mendeleev in 1864.Mendeleev predicted the discovery of other elements and pointed out that some of the then-current atomic weights were incorrect.He provided for variance from atomic weight order, left space for new elements, and predicted three undiscovered elements.

 Essay: The History of The Periodic Table. - Coursework.Info
The History of The Periodic Table There are a huge amount of elements known to mankind, each of which has individual properties and a relative atomic mass.
Altogether this accumulates to be an awful lot of data, so it is not surprising that from very early on in history, scientists tried to put all of this data together in a table, which would display necessary properties in an organised manner.
