By Allan Wu, Jeffery Ge, Satya Mardhikasena and Mike Liang
Contribution to the Chemical World
- De Chancourtois' contribution to the chemical world involved the three-dimensional periodic table where the elements were on a "Vis Tellurique"
- Unfortunately, his contribution was not well-known due to its unacceptance and soon in 1869, Dmtri Mendeleev's attracted attention and gained widespread attention
Alexandre-Émile Béguyer de Chancourtois
Organising the Elements
- De Chancourtois came into this world in 1820, in Paris
- He was a geologist and mineralogist from France
- First to arrange elements in order of atomic weights. He died in 1886 in Paris
- In 1862, approximately two years before John Newlands published his classification of elements, de Chancourtois had already created a fully functioning and unique system of the organisation of the chemical elements.
- His proposed classification was based on the newest values of atomic weights
- He developed a spiral graph that was arranged on a cylinder so that it was in increasing atomic weight and that the similar elements were lined up vertically
Education
- De Chancourtois enrolled for the renowned École Polytechnique, one of the greatest French grandes écoles
- Pupil to three famous scientists, Jean-Baptiste Élie de Beaumont, Pierre Guillaume Frédéric le Play, and Ours-Pierre-Armand Petit-Dufrénoy
- After his graduation. he went on a geological expedition to Hungary, Armenia and Turkey
