What was Dmitri Mendeleev's greatest contribution to the history of the periodic table?

• He arranged all of the known elements by their atomic number
• He realised that there was a pattern of reactivity which repeated every 8 elements
• He predicted the existence (and properties) of new elements
• He identified the "law of triads" which became the groups
