  • Mendeleev is best known today as the discoverer of the periodic law, his chemical career is often viewed as a long process of maturation of his main discovery.

    Mary Jo Nye: So I would now like to introduce our first speaker, Michael Gordin. Michael Gordin is an associate professor in the History Department at Princeton. He teaches the history of science and Russian history. He is the author of a wonderful book on Mendeleev called A Well-Ordered Thing: Dmitri Mendeleev and the Shadow of the Periodic Table. He also has just recently written and released a book of something entirely different: Five Days in August: How World War II Became a Nuclear War. Michael is currently working on an international history of the development of the first Soviet nuclear bomb in 1949, and he is also working on a book on the development of nationalism in Russian and German chemistry in the mid-19th century. He is spending the academic year in Berlin, at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science; so although he teaches at Princeton, he’s jet-lagged like our other international speakers. Michael. [Applause] [1:28]

    Michael Gordin: Can everybody hear me

    “The nobility of Man[…] lay in making himself the conqueror of matter, and [that] I had enrolled in chemistry because inom wanted to remain faithful to this nobility. That conquering matter is to understand it, and understanding matter is necessary to understanding the universe and ourselves: and that therefore Mendeleev’s Periodic Table, which just during those weeks we were laboriously learning to unravel, was poetry, loftier and more solemn than all the poetry we had swallowed down in the liceo*; and come to think of it, it even rhymed!“

    ‘The properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic weights’

    Arrange the atoms in beställning of their atomic weight (relative atomic mass) and elements are also arranged in order of their properties. This arrangement of the elements is called the periodic table.

    In the modern periodic table elements are no longer arranged by their atomic weight but by a more fundamental quantity; ‘atomic number’.

    DIMITRY IVANOVICH MENDELEYEV

    The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of one of its atoms; the number of neutrons, which contributes to atomic weight, is ignored. The modern periodic law is that ‘The properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers’.

    In 1860 Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev attended a chemistry conference in Karlsruhe where the Italian Sta
