As we have seen, Mendeleev was not the first to attempt to find order within the elements, but it is his attempt that was so successful that it now forms the basis of the modern periodic table.

Mendeleev’s work is the basis of the modern periodic table we use today. He is often referred to as the 'father of the periodic table', but he didn’t achieve a Nobel Prize for his work.
