Dalton's Atomic Theory
Dalton's Atomic Theory
John Dalton discovered that all elements are made up of only one type of atom.
Grouping Elements by Atomic Weight
Grouping Elements by Atomic Weight
John Dalton grouped elements based on their atomic weight, which is the mass of an atom of that element.
Mendeleev's Periodic Table
Mendeleev's Periodic Table
Dmitri Mendeleev created the periodic table by arranging elements in order of increasing atomic weight, leaving gaps for undiscovered elements.

Study Notes
John Dalton's Contributions
- First to group elements together
- Discovered elements are made of one type of atom
- Discovered elements have different atomic weights
- Grouped elements together based on atomic weight
- Created the first periodic table
Dmitri Mendeleev's Contributions
- Looked for trends and patterns in elements
- Ordered elements by atomic weight
- Created a periodic table with gaps
- Predicted properties of undiscovered elements
- Recognized that elements should be ordered by atomic number, rather than atomic weight, as seen in the modern table.
- Noted that patterns in elements' weight and reactivity allowed him to predict the properties of missing elements and leave gaps if necessary.
- Noted trends to predict gaps in the table which allowed him to predict the exact properties of new elements.
