Features: The periodic law of chemical elements was discovered by Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev 100 years ago, on March 1, 1869. This book is dedicated to explaining the discovery of this fundamental law of nature. The book is written in separate chapters, so the author sometimes returns to issues already discussed, hoping to explain them from another perspective. It is intended for a broad range of intellectuals and young students interested in the history of chemistry, the history of physics, philosophy, as well as the logic and psychology of scientific creation.
