Periodic table formation from the point of view of philosophy of measurement (přednáší Ave Mets, Univerzita v Tartu)

Abstrakt:
Many people know the periodic table of chemical elements under the name of Mendeleev table, who published his first version in 1869. However, the history of it - of ordering chemical elements - can be traced back to the beginning of the 19th century, first to qualitative classifications of elements, and quantifying the system in course of the century. A fundamental change took place with the discovery of atomic structure in the 20th century. I will discuss the evolution and changes in the basis of this systematisation from the perspective of representational measurement theory.
