  PERIODIC LAW
The chemical law that the properties of all the elements are periodic functions of their atomic weights was developed independently by two chemists: in 1869 by Dmitry Mendeleyev, a Russian, and in 1870 by Julius Lothar Meyer, of Germany.
In the periodic classification, noble gases, which in most cases are unreactive (valence = 0), are interposed between highly reactive metals that form compounds in which their valence is +1 on one side and highly reactive nonmetals forming compounds in which their valence is -1 on the other side.
The periodic law has been found to correlate a great many different properties of the elements, including such physical properties as melting and boiling points, densities, crystal structures, hardness, electrical conductivity, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity, and such chemical properties as reactivity, acidity or basicity, valence, polarity, and solubility.

 History of the periodic table - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexandre-Émile Béguyer de Chancourtois, a French geologist, was the first person to notice the periodicity of the elements — similar elements seem to occur at regular intervals when they are ordered by their atomic weights.
Newlands' work was heavily criticized, even ridiculed, by other chemists, because of the lack of spaces for undiscovered elements and the placing of two elements in one box, but he was finally awarded the Davy Medal by the Royal Society in 1887.
Curiously, Walter Russell produced yet another periodic table in 1926, complaining that the widely accepted table did (as it does indeed) have gaps and exceptions which are not scientific.

PERIODIC LAW [periodic law] statement of a periodic recurrence of chemical and physical properties of the elements when the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
He proposed in 1869 that the properties of elements are periodic functions of the atomic weight and grouped the elements accordingly in a periodic system.
The periodic law can be explained on the basis of the electronic structure of the atom, which is believed to be the main factor underlying the chemical properties and many of the physical properties of the elements.

 PERIODIC LAW AND TABLE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The great value of the periodic law was made evident by Mendeleyev's success in 1871 in finding that the properties of 17 elements could be correlated with those of other elements by moving the 17 to new positions from those indicated by their atomic weights.
The long-period form of the periodic system of the elements contains all of the chemical elements that have been discovered or made; they are arranged, in the order of their atomic numbers, in seven horizontal periods, with the lanthanons (lanthanum, 57, to lutetium, 71) and the actinons (actinium, 89, to lawrencium, 103) indicated separately below.
The periodicity in properties of the elements arranged in order of atomic number is strikingly shown by the consideration of the physical state of the elementary substances and such related properties as the melting point, density, and hardness.

Periodic table have always been related to the way scientists thought about the shape and structure of the atom, and has changed accordingly.
The Periodic Law revealed important analogies among the 94 naturally occurring elements, and stimulated renewed interest in Inorganic Chemistry in the nineteenth century which has carried into the present with the creation of artificially produced, short lived elements of `atom smashers' and supercolliders of high energy physics.

 Mendeleïev : article 1889
The law of periodicity was thus a direct outcome of the stock of generalisations and established facts which had accumulated by the end of the decade 1860-1870: it is an embodiment of those data in a more or less systematic expression.
The periodic law has demonstrated that the maximum extent to which different non-metals enter into combination with oxygen is determined by the extent to which they combine with hydrogen, and that the sum of the number of equivalents of both must be equal to 8.
The line of argument which is inspired by the periodic law, so far from being weakened by the discovery of peroxides, is thus actually strengthened, and we must hope that a further exploration of the region under consideration will confirm the applicability to chemistry generally of the principles deduced from the periodic law.

 The Periodic Table
In 1898, William Ramsey suggested that argon be placed into the periodic table between chlorine and potassium in a family with helium, despite the fact that argon's atomic weight was greater than that of potassium.
Although Mendeleev's table demonstrated the periodic nature of the elements, it remained for the discoveries of scientists of the 20th Century to explain why the properties of the elements recur periodically.
The question of why the periodic law exists was answered as scientists developed an understanding of the electronic structure of the elements beginning with Niels Bohr's studies of the organization of electrons into shells through G.N. Lewis' (see a picture) discoveries of bonding electron pairs.

Given a modern Periodic Table of the Elements, recognize the elements’; atomic numbers and atomic mass numbers and, from these numbers, determine the numbers of electrons, protons, and neutrons that would be found in the most abundant isotopes of those elements (or the most stable isotopes of those elements).
He proposed that the Periodic Law of Mendeleev be modified to state that “the properties of the elements are a regularly repeating function of their atomic numbers.”; This arrangement is what is presently used to organize the modern Periodic Table of the Elements.
