Gustavus Detlef Hinrichs (2 December 1836 – 14 February 1923) was a
periodic laws within the chemical elements.[1]
Life
Hinrichs was born in 1836 in Lunden in the Duchy of Holstein, which at that time was under the rule of Denmark although it was simultaneously part of the German Confederation. He attended the local polytechnic school and the University of Copenhagen. During his schooling he published several articles and books,[1][2] including descriptions of the magnetic field of Earth and its interaction with the aether.
Hinrichs graduated in 1860, between the
Periodic law
Hinrichs is one of the discoverers of the periodic laws, which are the basis for the
Lothar Meyer, in 1867 (two years before Mendeleev) he presented his ideas on periodicity among the chemical elements in his privately printed book Programme der Atommechanik,[8] and in slightly revised form in 1869. His first periodic table had the form of a double spiral,[1] and the elements were placed into the structure according to their atomic mass. Hinrichs also postulated a theory on the cause of the periodicity within the chemical elements based on his theory of the composition of elements out of smaller Panatome. The Trigonoides were the nonmetals made from regular triangles, while the metallic Tetragonoides were made from squares. Algebraic formulas of how to mix squares and triangles yielded the periodic laws.[1][5][9] His "controversial ideas and colorful personality"[9] proved to be an obstacle to the acceptance of his theories.[2]
