Аннотация:Yakov Mikhaylenko (1864 – 1943) – one of the founders of the first domestic branch of chemical-technological University, for 100 years bearing the name of the great Mendeleev. He is a representative of the old Russian chemical school headed by D. Mendeleev.
Professor Mikhailenko's books on the Periodic table of elements, published in 1931 and 1940, covered all periodic changes in the properties of atoms with the utmost clarity. In his lectures he used an extended, modernized version of the Boron – Thomson table, which is essentially a long-period form. One of the first in the USSR Yakov Ivanovich began talking in a training course about artificial radioactivity.
