A centerpiece of this historical journey was the triumph by Dmitri Mendeleev who conceived the Periodic Law of the Elements, the relation between the 606 $aChemistry$xHistory 606 $aNobel Prizes$xHistory 606 $aPeriodic law$vTables 606 $aChemical elements 615 0$aChemistry$xHistory. 615 0$aNobel Prizes$xHistory. 615 0$aPeriodic law 615 0$aChemical elements. 676 $a546.8 700 $aLagerkvist$b Ulf$01693696 701 $aNorrby$b Erling$0514351 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807229003321 996 $aThe periodic table and a missed Nobel prize$94071688 997 $aUNINA
