Therefore he spent more then 13 years of his life taking in data and the concept of periodicity. He used a variety of data as well as his own to arrange element according to its properties. Dmitri initially ordered the element according to their atomic weights which is now changed to ordering by atomic number. The Periodic tanle was a huge accomplishment for Dmitri.

This meant something to me because it showed that if you work hard at a dream you can achieve it.
