The document summarizes the history of the periodic table, including early attempts by scientists like John Wolfgang Doberiener who first tried to arrange elements in 1829 using triads. In 1865, John Alexander Newlands proposed the law of octaves as another attempt at organization. Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev successfully arranged the elements in the first recognizable periodic table in 1869. In 1913, Henry Moseley discovered that atomic number provided a better means of organization than atomic mass, bringing the modern periodic table into use.
