The person that I admire the most is scientist Isaak Mendeleev.He was born on 8 February 1834 in Verhnie Aremzyani village, near Tobolsk . His grandfather was Pavel Maximovich Sokolov, a Russian priest. Ivan, along with his brothers and sisters, obtained new family names while attending theological seminary. 2) In 1849, the now poor Mendeleev family relocated to St. Petersburg, where he entered the Main Pedagogical Institute in 1850. After graduation, an illness that was diagnosed as tuberculosis caused him to move to the Crimean Peninsula on the northern coast of the Black Sea in 1855. While there he became a science master of the Simferopol gymnasium №1. He returned with fully restored health to St. Petersburg in 1857. 3)
Between 1859 and 1861, he worked on the capillarity of liquids and the workings of the spectroscope in Heidelberg. In the late August of 1861 he wrote his first book on the spectroscope in which it received high acclaim. In 1862, he married Feozva Nikitichna Leshcheva. Mendeleev became Professor of Chemistry at the Saint Petersburg Technological Institute and the University of St. Petersburg in 1863. In 1865 he became Doctor of Science for his dissertation "On the Combinations of Water with Alcohol". He achieved tenure in 1867, and by 1871 had transformed St. Petersburg into an internationally recognized center for chemistry research.4)he reason I admire him is because he is very intelligent and brave, and he never gives up on life.Mendeleyev had a difficult character: he did not let anyone down, pointing out mistakes directly. However, he himself did not like it if someone pointed out his mistakes. He combined the qualities of a great scientist-thinker and a simple craftsman.
He had a hobby - he made suitcases, twisted books. He was a patriot of his country, gave all his strength to strengthen the industry of, sought to free it from the economic and scientific dependence of the West. But I did not always find support from my colleagues in this.
