 | | 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. |
