Mendeleev was a visionary, providing a tool to predict things we didn't even know about yet! He was the first to recognize the pattern in the properties of elements and create the skeleton of the chart that we know today as the periodic table. The video lesson from a larger series covering reactions outlines the beginning and each addition thereafter.
