produced several Periodic Tables. His first table contained just 28 elements, organised by how many other atoms they can combine with. Unfortunately for Meyer, his work wasn’t published until 1870, a year after Mendeleev’s periodic table had been published. He was the first person to recognise the periodic trends in the properties of elements, and the graph shows the pattern he saw in the atomic volume of an element plotted against its atomic weight.

Discovery started the development of the periodic table, arranging chemical elements by atomic mass. He did so by writing the properties of the elements on pieces of card and arranging and rearranging them until he realised that, by putting them in order of increasing atomic weight, certain types of element regularly occurred. He predicted the discovery of other elements, and left spaces open in his periodic table for them.
