D.I.Mendeleev
Discoveries and contributions to SCIENCE.

Slide 2

Origin
Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev was born on January 27, 1834 in Tobolsk in the family of Ivan Pavlovich Mendeleev, who at that time held the position of director of the Tobolsk gymnasium (he later lost this position due to severe illness).

Slide 3

Childhood
The childhood of D. I. Mendeleev coincided with the time of the exiled Decembrists in Siberia. The family lived for a long time in Yalutorovsk next to I. I. Pushchin. Also, his uncle V.D. Korniliev, the manager of the Trubetskoy princes, who often invited the Mendeleevs to visit their house and many famous writers and scientists, had a great influence on the worldview of the future scientist.

Slide 4

Education and positions held
1843 – graduated from the Tobolsk gymnasium. 1855 - Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the Pedagogical Institute. 1855 - senior teacher of natural sciences, 1856 - brilliantly defended his dissertation “for the right to give lectures”, October 10 - master of chemistry, 1857 - January 9 privatdozent, 1863 - professor.

Slide 5

Scientific achievements
D.I. Mendeleev studied the phenomena of isomorphism, as well as the dependence of the properties of elements on the size of their atomic volumes. He discovered the “absolute boiling point of liquids” in 1860. He is the author of the first Russian textbook “Organic Chemistry”. In 1859 he designed a pycnometer, a device for determining the density of a liquid. Created the hydration theory of solutions in 1865-1887. Found in 1874 the general equation of state of an ideal gas.

Slide 6

Periodic law
On February 17, 1869, D.I. Mendeleev discovered one of the fundamental laws of nature - the periodic law of chemical elements. On March 6, 1869, the famous report of D.I. Mendeleev “Relationship of properties with the atomic weight of elements” was read at a meeting of the Russian Chemical Society and was soon published.

Slide 7

Scientific contribution
This discovery marked the beginning of a new era in the development of chemistry and other related sciences - atomic physics, geochemistry. Before the discovery of the periodic law, discoveries in chemistry of new elements, new substances, new chemical reactions, as a rule, were unexpected and accidental. When chemistry received its leading theory in the periodic law, its development took on a systematic character. The existence of previously unknown elements is predicted.

Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev

Brilliant Russian chemist, physicist and naturalist


Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev

Dmitry Mendeleev was born

school director and trustee

public schools of the Tobolsk province

Ivan Pavlovich Mendeleev and

Maria Dmitrievna Mendeleeva.

He was raised by his mother because

the father of the future chemist soon went blind

after the birth of his son.


  • In the fall of 1841 he entered the Tobolsk gymnasium.
  • On August 9, 1850, Dmitry was enrolled as a student at the Main Pedagogical Institute in St. Petersburg at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics.
  • At that time, outstanding Russian scientists taught at the Pedagogical Institute - mathematician Ostrogradsky, physicist Lenz, chemist Voskresensky and others. Voskresensky and professor of mineralogy Kutorg suggested that Mendeleev develop a method for analyzing the minerals orthrite and pyroxene delivered from Finland.
  • In May 1855, the Academic Council awarded Mendeleev the title “Senior Teacher” and awarded him a gold medal.

  • In the fall, Mendeleev brilliantly defended his dissertation, successfully delivered the introductory lecture “Structure of silicate compounds,” and at the beginning of 1857 he became a private assistant professor at St. Petersburg University.
  • At the end of February 1861, Mendeleev arrived in St. Petersburg. He decides to write a textbook on organic chemistry. The textbook that was soon published, as well as the translation of Wagner’s “Chemical Technology,” brought Mendeleev great fame.
  • On January 1, 1864, Mendeleev was appointed to the position of full-time associate professor of organic chemistry at St. Petersburg University. Simultaneously with this position, Mendeleev received a position as a professor at the St. Petersburg Institute of Technology. Mendeleev began work on his doctoral dissertation.

  • The defense of the dissertation took place on January 31, 1865. Two months later, Mendeleev was appointed extraordinary professor in the department of technical chemistry at St. Petersburg University, and in December - ordinary professor.
  • At that time, there was an urgent need to create a new textbook on inorganic chemistry that would reflect the current level of development of chemical science. This idea captured Mendeleev.
  • Mendeleev carefully studied the description of the properties of elements and their compounds. But in what order should they be carried out? There was no system for arranging elements. Then the scientist made cardboard cards. On each card he wrote down the name of the element, its atomic weight, formulas of compounds and basic properties. Gradually, the basket was filled with cards containing information about all the elements known by that time. And still, for a long time nothing worked. They say that the scientist saw the periodic table of elements in a dream; all that remained was to write it down and justify it.


  • On March 6, his friend, chemistry professor Menshutkin, reported this discovery at a meeting of the Russian Chemical Society. It is curious that at first Russian chemists did not understand what a great discovery they were talking about.
  • But Dmitry Ivanovich himself was aware of the meaning of the table. From the day when Mendeleev saw the manifestation of the law of nature behind the simple rows of symbols of chemical elements, other questions faded into the background. Taking the periodic law as a basis, Mendeleev changed the atomic weights of these elements and put them on a par with elements with similar properties.
  • At the same time, Mendeleev became deeply interested in another issue - the state of gases at very high pressure.
  • The repeated proof of Mendeleev's predictions caused a real triumph. Soon, reports began to arrive about Mendeleev's election as an honorary member of various European universities and academies.

  • Mendeleev's range of interests was very wide. His works on the chemistry of solutions are also classic. In addition, he did a lot of research on oil and came close to discovering its complex composition.
  • During the total solar eclipse of 1887, Mendeleev was supposed to ascend in a hot air balloon together with an aeronaut. However, before the start it started to rain, the wet balloon could not rise with two passengers. Then Mendeleev dropped off the pilot and flew alone. They also say that in his spare time he made magnificent suitcases.


  • Dmitry Ivanovich worked until the last day. He died on the morning of January 20, 1907.
  • After Mendeleev’s death, his name was given to the Russian Chemical Society, and every year on January 27, the scientist’s birthday, a ceremonial meeting takes place in St. Petersburg, at which the authors of the best works in chemistry are presented and they are awarded a medal named after D.I. Mendeleev. This award is considered one of the most prestigious in world chemistry.
  • The autobiography of the great Russian scientist confirms that D.I. Mendeleev was a great worker all his life. His persistent work led to many brilliant scientific discoveries in the fields of chemistry, physics and even customs. But we should always remember that Mendeleev’s triumphant periodic law is the result of enormous work, deep thought and constant search.



Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev was born on January 27 (February 8, new style) 1834 in the family of the director of the Tobolsk gymnasium, Ivan Pavlovich Mendeleev. At that moment, Mendeleev’s mother was already more than 40 years old. Two of his brothers and five sisters lived to see the birth of the “last child” (as the youngest was sometimes called in the family). Eight of the Mendeleev children died in infancy, and in 1820 Dmitry’s 14-year-old sister Maria died of consumption.


At the age of six, D.I. Mendeleev already knew how to read and write, knew arithmetic operations. He was sent to a gymnasium where his father had worked for many years. At that time, literature was taught by P.P. Ershov, the author of the famous fairy tale “The Little Humpbacked Horse.” At the gymnasium, D.I. Mendeleev was not an excellent student and none of the teachers predicted a great future for him in science.


First successes in science. The fate of D.I. Mendeleev was different at the Main Pedagogical Institute of St. Petersburg, where he entered in the fall of 1850. Outstanding Russian scientists taught at the institute. The chemistry course was taught by A.A. Voskresensky, lectures on mathematics were given by M.V. Ostrogradsky, on physics - E. H. Lenz. During his studies, his first scientific work was published. Mendeleev defended his diploma with excellent marks in 1885, receiving a gold medal and the title “Senior Teacher”.


Professor Mendeleev is working. In 1861, Mendeleev wrote the first textbook on organic chemistry in the history of Russian education. He is a professor at St. Petersburg University. At this time, he is preparing a new edition of the textbook, which will include descriptions of chemical elements.


Defense of his doctoral dissertation in 1865. Business trip to Germany While in Germany, he participated in the International Congress of Chemists, held in the city of Karlsruhe in 1860. Participation in the congress pushed Mendeleev to create the periodic table. The discovery of the Periodic Law dates back to February 17 (March 1), 1869. The researcher entitled it as follows: “An experience of a system of elements based on their atomic weight and chemical similarity.” The first high scientific award for the discovery of the Periodic Law was the Davy Medal, which was awarded to Mendeleev in 1882 by the Royal Society of London.


“Fundamentals of Chemistry” (g.) Mendeleev’s periodic table became a guiding map in the study of inorganic chemistry. The periodic law was the foundation on which Mendeleev created his book Fundamentals of Chemistry (). In terms of the richness and courage of scientific thought, the originality of its coverage of the material, and its influence on the development and teaching of chemistry, this work had no equal in world literature. Mendeleev's book was published dozens of times in different languages ​​of the world.


Contribution to science It was not only chemistry, physics and agriculture that fascinated our outstanding compatriot in those years. In 1870, he devoted a lot of time to studying the properties of oil, and was one of the first to propose a fractional principle for its distillation. His passion for mineralogy is clearly evidenced by his personal collection of minerals, which is still kept by the museum of the Department of Mineralogy of St. Petersburg University


Mendeleev also made major discoveries in the field of physics. In particular, he pointed out the existence of the absolute boiling point of liquids (), later called the critical temperature. In 1887, Mendeleev made a balloon ascent (without a pilot) to observe a solar eclipse and study the upper layers of the atmosphere.







Research in the field of shipbuilding DI. Mendeleev independently developed a project for a high-latitude expeditionary icebreaker. He outlined a high-latitude “industrial” sea route passing near the North Pole. In commemoration of the great contribution of D.I. Mendeleev, in the development of shipbuilding and the development of the Arctic, an underwater ridge in the Arctic Ocean and a modern oceanographic research vessel are named after him. Icebreaker designed by D.I. Mendeleev. The model was made according to drawings preserved in the scientist’s archive.


Research in the field of metrology D.I. Mendeleev owns a fundamental work in the field of metrology, “Experimental Study of Oscillations of Weights” (1898). In the process of studying the phenomenon of oscillation, D.I. Mendeleev designed a number of unique instruments: a differential pendulum for determining the hardness of substances, a flywheel pendulum for studying friction in bearings, a metronome pendulum, a pendulum-scales, etc.




"King of Sciences." His range of interests was unusually wide. Biographers estimate that he published 431 works: 40 of them are devoted to chemistry, 106 physical chemistry, 99 physics, 99 technology and industry, 36 economic and general issues, 22 geography and 29 other topics. Chemist, physical chemist, physicist, metrologist, technologist, geologist. metrologist, aeronaut, shipbuilder, compiler and editor of encyclopedias, sociologist - all this refers to one scientist: Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev


Recognition D.I. Mendeleev was a member of more than 90 academies of sciences, scientific societies, and universities in different countries. The chemical element 101 (mendelevium), an underwater mountain range and a crater on the far side of the Moon, as well as a number of educational institutions and scientific institutes bear the name of Mendeleev. In 1962, the USSR Academy of Sciences established a prize and a Gold Medal named after. Mendeleev for the best works in chemistry and chemical technology, in 1964 Mendeleev’s name was included on the honor board of the University of Bridgeport in the USA along with the names of Euclid, Archimedes, N. Copernicus, G. Galileo, I. Newton, A. Lavoisier. However, the scientist simply signed his works and official appeals: “D. Mendeleev" or "Professor Mendeleev". Only in rare cases did a scientist add to his name the titles assigned to him by leading scientific institutions. Euclid-ArchimedeN. Copernicus G. GalileiI. NewtonA. Lavoisier


From the teachings of D.I. Mendeleev “You must live to fulfill the task of nature... Be able to be useful, needed and dear to others. This is how I myself lived or wanted to live... You must be active and thrifty, at the same time brave and noble... Pleasure will fly by - it will be for yourself, work will leave a trace of joy - for others. Learning - for yourself, the fruit of learning - for others. There is no other meaning in learning, otherwise it would not exist...” D.I. Mendeleev

In fact, this is only a historical anecdote. Vodka was invented by the Russian government at the time when Mendeleev was 9 years old. In those days, the excise tax was taken per degree, it had to be measured, and the measurement scale was not accurate. In addition, it turned out that on the way from producer to consumers, vodka tended to reduce the temperature. Then the government issued a decree according to which vodka had to be supplied to the consumer exclusively at 40 degrees, with a minimum of 38 degrees. Otherwise, the participants in the process faced criminal liability. In fact, this is only a historical anecdote.

D.I. Mendeleev, a great scientist, was retained for the second year while studying at the Pedagogical Institute. Studying was not easy at first. In his first year at the institute, he managed to get unsatisfactory grades in all subjects except mathematics. And in mathematics, he only scored “satisfactorily”... But in his senior years, things went differently: Mendeleev’s average annual grade was 4.5 with only a C - according to the Law of God. Dm. Ivanovich graduated from the institute in 1855 with a gold medal, receiving a senior teacher's diploma.
