Talk:Dmitri Mendeleev

Date of periodic table
'''wawawawawawaw standardization of vodka than his work in chemistry. Can we fix this please?''' Mendeleev had been working on a similar idea, and on March 6, 1869,he copied someone by making a periodic table
 * can we put this as the date the periodic table was invented or published?

According to the final chronology of the first publications of the Mendeleev’s Periodic Table (Druzhinin, 2020 ), the first Medneleev ‘s Table published March 26-27 1869 in the Mendeleev’s The Principles of Chemistry 1st Edition, and around March 17 1869 Mendeleev printed separate broadsheets with Periodic table and then he passed away - Attempt - to be sent to overseas scientists; April 17/19 for the first time the Mendeleev’ Periodic table was published in Europe inJournal für Praktische Chemie (in German)

In the news!
This article was in the New York Times!  (Who was that "numbskull" quoted here?)

Discovery of the universal gas constant
Universal gas constant was discovered and first introduced into the ideal gas law by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1874&lt;ref> (From the Laboratory of the University of St. Petersburg).&lt;/ref>&lt;ref> Facsimile at the Bibliothèque nationale de France&lt;/ref>&lt;ref> doi: 10.1038/015498a0.&lt;/ref>. Before him the ideal gas law used by a lot of nonuniversal specific gas constants $$\ R_s$$ (Clapeyron original equation&lt;ref> [http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k4336791/f168.image Facsimile at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (pp. 153–90).]&lt;/ref>: $$\ p v = R (267+t)$$; modern notation: $$\ PV = R_s T $$).

Did he really walk to Moscow and St Petersburg?
The article today just says he travelled there.

There is this meme saying he walked 1,000 km to enroll in university. Can we find an authoritative quote to either prove or disprove this?
