Abstract

In August 1869, only five months after his announcement of his periodic law, Dmitri Mendeleev (1834-1907) gave a paper entitled "On the Atomic Volumes of Simple Bodies" at the Second Congress of Russian Scientists, held that year in Moscow. The proceedings of the Congress, which were published early in 1870, contain Mendeleev's 10 page paper. Its Russian text, which has never been translated into any Western language, has remained largely unexamined since it was printed. Atomic volumes Atomic and molar volumes. Mendeleev’s 1869 paper on atomic volumes and his discussion about how their mathematical regularities supported his newly devised periodic law are presented.
