Julius Lothar Meyer, John Newlands, and Dmitrii Mendeleev were amongst the discoverers of the periodic system of the elements. Although their systems are similar enough to be recognised as the precursors for the modern periodic system, they were also different. Here, I argue that many of their differences can be explained in terms of how the chemists emphasised different values in the process of developing their systems. In particular, Newland highlighted the simplicity of his arrangements; Meyer was more careful about the quality of data that gave rise to his system of elements; and Mendeleev sought to make his system more complete. By shedding light as to how the values of simplicity, completeness and carefulness guided the development of early periodic systems, this paper contributes to a broader understanding of how values influence science.

早期元素周期表发展中的价值

Julius Lothar Meyer、John Newlands 和 Dmitrii Mendeleev 是元素周期表的发现者。尽管它们的系统非常相似,可以被认为是现代周期系统的先驱,但它们也不同。在这里,我认为它们的许多差异可以用化学家在开发系统的过程中如何强调不同的价值来解释。纽兰特别强调了他的安排的简单性;迈耶对产生他的元素系统的数据质量更加谨慎。门捷列夫试图让他的系统更加完整。通过阐明简单、完整和谨慎的价值观如何引导早期周期系统的发展,本文有助于更广泛地理解价值观如何影响科学。
