 * Common Misconceptions:**
 * While Dmitri Mendeleev is most often cited as the inventor of the modern periodic table, his table was just the first to gain scientific credibility, and not the first table that organized the elements according to periodic properties.


 * Interesting Facts:**
 * Mendeleev brought order to our knowledge of the elements at a time when over 40% of the presently known elements hadn't even been discovered yet!
 * John Newlands and Lothar Meyer each independently devised a similar periodic table at about the same time as Mendeleev.
