The man who created the original version of the modern Periodic Table of Elements is no other than Dmitri Mendeleev (1834 – 1907). He was a Russian chemist and inventor. Taken from his name, the element Mendelevium (symbol Md, atomic number 101) is named to him in his honor.

Answer:

Mendelevium (Md)
