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).

a)
Julius Lothar Meyer

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.
