The document provides an overview of the development of the periodic table. It discusses early chemists like Lavoisier who compiled lists of known elements. In the 1860s, Newlands and Meyer began to notice patterns in properties of elements when arranged by atomic mass. Mendeleev later created the first periodic table by arranging elements in order of atomic mass with similar properties grouped together. This table had some issues resolved by Moseley in 1913, who arranged elements by atomic number, establishing the modern periodic table and periodic law.
