The very first elements known by humans, primarily metals like copper and iron, began with early human discovery; Lavoisier's systematic list in the late 18th century included a mix of real and non-elemental substances.
05:14
Chemists struggled to organize elements until Dmitry Mendeleev proposed a table based on atomic weights with spaces for undiscovered elements in 1869.
06:53
Mendeleev's initial table based on atomic weights faced skepticism but was vindicated by later discoveries that refined the periodic system.
