Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that this question is about the history of the periodic table, a fundamental concept in chemistry that organizes elements based on their properties.
Recall that the first widely recognized periodic table was created by a chemist who arranged elements by increasing atomic mass and noticed periodic trends in their properties.
Identify Dmitri Mendeleev as the scientist who is credited with creating this first widely recognized periodic table in 1869.
Note that while Marie Curie, John Dalton, and Antoine Lavoisier made significant contributions to chemistry, they are not credited with creating the periodic table.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is Dmitri Mendeleev.
