Facts and Info about the element Argon - IUPAC and the Modern Standardised Periodic Table
The Standardised Periodic Table in use today was agreed by the International Union of Pure Applied Chemistry, IUPAC, in 1985 which includes the Yttrium element. The famous Russian Scientist, Dimitri Mendeleev, perceived the correct classification method of "the periodic table" for the 65 elements which were known in his time. Yttrium was discovered by Johan Gadolin in 1794 and isolated by Friedrich Wohler in 1828. Yttria is the oxide of yttrium and was discovered by Johan Gadolin in 1794. The Standardised Periodic Table now recognises more periods and elements than Dimitri Mendeleev knew in his day but still all fitting into his concept of the "Periodic Table" in which Yttrium is just one element that can be found.
