Explore the organizing framework of chemistry — how Mendeleev's genius prediction shaped science, the stories behind element discoveries, and the quest for new superheavy elements.
Dmitri Mendeleev published his periodic table in 1869, famously leaving gaps for undiscovered elements and correctly predicting the properties of gallium, scandium, and germanium years before their discovery. The table now contains 118 confirmed elements, with the four most recently named — nihonium (113), moscovium (115), tennessine (117), and oganesson (118) — officially added in 2016 after being synthesized in particle accelerators. Hydrogen makes up roughly 75% of all normal matter in the universe by mass, while the heaviest naturally occurring element, uranium (92), was first isolated in 1841, and superheavy elements beyond 118 remain theoretical, with scientists searching for a predicted "island of stability" around element 120-126.
