About Alexandre Émile Béguyer De Chancourtois
- Alexandre-Émile Béguyer de Chancourtois (20 January 1820 – 14 November 1886) was a French geologist and mineralogist who was the first to arrange the chemical elements in order of atomic weights, doing so in 1862.
- De Chancourtois only published his paper, but did not publish his actual graph with the irregular arrangement.
- Although his publication was significant, it was ignored by chemists as it was written in terms of geology.
- It was Dmitri Mendeleev's table published in 1869 that became most recognized.
- De Chancourtois was also a professor of mine surveying, and later geology at the École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris.
- He also was the Inspector of Mines in Paris, and was widely responsible for implementing many mine safety regulations and laws during the time.
