40.
Who contributed Telluric Screw, a 3D arrangement of the elements (earliest form of classification)?
a)
Alexandre-Emile Beguyer de Chancourtois
b)
Gregor Mendel
41.
Who noticed that there were similarities between elements with atomic weights that differed by 7. He called this The Law of Octaves, comparing it to octaves of music.  
a)
Alexandre-Emile Beguyer de Chancourtois
b)
John Newlands
c)
Julius Meyer
42.
Who Produced several periodic tables between 1864-1870. In his 1st  periodic table there were just 28 elements that were organized by how many elements they combined with (valency). In 1868 the table listed transition metals and organized by atomic weight, and valency in vertical lines. His work wasn’t published until 1870 a year AFTER Mendeleev! 
a)
Julius Lothar Meyer
b)
Gregor Mendel
c)
Dmitri Mendeleev
43.
Who discovered the periodic table while attempting to organize the elements in February 1869.  Arranged the elements by increasing atomic weights.  He left gaps for unknown elements.  He also had a final unexpected triumph when William Ramsey discovered the noble gases which further proved his system. 
a)
Dmitri Mendeleev
b)
Gregor Mendel
c)
William Ramsey
44.
