Etymology

The concept of elements in chemistry dates back to ancient times, with the idea that everything is made up of fundamental substances. The modern understanding of elements began to develop in the 18th century with the work of scientists like Antoine Lavoisier. The periodic table, which organizes elements based on their properties, was created by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869.
