How Mendeleev issued his predictions: comment on Andrea Woody
2020
Foundations of Chemistry: Philosophical, Historical, Educational and Interdisciplinary Studies of Chemistry
Preserved Fulltext
Here we offer an explanation on how Mendeleev used his periodic system to predict both physical and chemical properties of little-known and entirely unknown chemical elements. ...
In particular, by using the known properties of a number of near neighbours of the three entirely unknown elements (the so-called eka-elements), we seek to show how the very format of his table enabled ...
Acknowledgements We should like to thank Vanessa Seifert for her very helpful and insightful comments to an earlier draft of this paper and an anonymous reviewer who provided a number of valuable suggestions ...

But supposing that kind of reduction⎯'epistemological reduction'⎯to be impossible, the thesis of ontological reduction may still be true: that chemical properties are determined by more fundamental properties ...
If this means 'Can we derive the laws of chemistry from the laws of physics?', recent discussions suggest that the answer is 'no'. ...
Granted that the gaps in Mendeleev's table represented genuine possibilities, elements that could exist, why assume that the possibilities were realized? ...

The philosophy of chemistry has been sadly neglected by most contempory literature in the philosophy of science. ...
The name of these elements derives from their extreme reluctance to enter into chemical combination with other elements, a fact which led some chemists to suggest that they did not even belong in the periodic ...

Looking forward from Mendeleev's remarkable ordering of the table by atomic weight, the table has been reinscribed to accommodate new elements, atomic numbers, electron configurations and quantum mechanics ...

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that none of these objections succeed in undermining the existence of genuine joints in reality. ...
The thrust of these arguments is that the manner in which we structure, divide or carve up the world is not grounded in any natural, genuine boundaries in the world. ...

This slogan has both an ontological and an epistemic reading. The ontological reading is related to the now familiar idea that essence grounds modality, as popularised by Kit Fine. ...
