Exploring the innovations that have shaped modern chemistry

The Periodic Table: A Revolutionary Invention

The periodic table, developed by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869, is a cornerstone of chemistry. It organizes the elements based on their atomic number and properties, making it an essential tool for chemists. Mendeleev's periodic table provided a framework for predicting the properties of elements and discovering new ones.

Element Symbol Atomic Number
Hydrogen H 1
Helium He 2
Lithium Li 3

Synthetic Polymers: From Theory to Practice

Synthetic polymers, such as nylon and polyester, have transformed various industries. First synthesized in the early 20th century, these materials offer diverse applications from clothing to industrial products. The development of synthetic polymers represents a significant leap in material science, enabling innovations in multiple fields.
