Answer:

Dmitri Mendeleev is most known for arranging all the known elements together based on their properties, creating what we now know as the periodic table. This arrangement helped to accurately predict the properties of yet-to-be-discovered elements and place them in their appropriate spots in the periodic table. His predictions about undiscovered elements proved accurate, and ultimately revolutionized the field of chemistry.
