Long Term Impact on the Scientific World

Mendeleev's impact on the scientific world can only be described as monumental; one only has to look at a periodic table of the elements to see his immense contribution. During and after his lifetime, chemists, physicists, and biologists have added, rearranged, and examined his table, making it look completely different, but all that effort would've been impossible without the basis Mendeleev created. His work even earned him the name of the element Mendelevium as well as a university's name.
