The Royal Society of London awarded the Davy Medal in 1882 to both Mendeleev and Meyer. The later discovery of elements predicted by Mendeleev, including gallium , scandium and germanium , verified his predictions and his periodic table won universal recognition. In 1955 the 101st element was named mendelevium in his honor. (jan 1, 1882 – dec 1, 1882)
