Shortcomings of My Periodic Table
- I developed the first periodic table (beat that!)
- I have element 101 named after me called Mendelevium
- I wrote my own textbooks because other textbooks in my time were soooo poorly written
More About My Achievements
- My original periodic table arranged the 63 known elements known during my time
- They were organized first by atomic mass, then by their chemical properties
- I'm so amazing, I even left holes in my periodic table and predicted that new discoveries would fit those spaces
- During my life alone, Gallium, Scandium, and Germanium were discovered that fit three of my predictions
- Using my periodic table, I even corrected information about known elements :P
- Even after I died, two more elements that I predicted were discovered (Technetium and Hafnium)
Shortcomings of My Periodic Table
- It only had 63 known elements included
- It didn't include isotopes or noble gasses, which weren't discovered until after my death
