Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MEYER, JULIUS LOTHAR (183o-1895) , German chemist, was born on, the 19th of August 183o, at Varel in Oldenburg. He was the son of a physician, and went to study
medicine
  first at Zurich University in 1851, and then, two years later, at Wurzburg, where he had R. Virchow as his teacher in
pathology
 . The influence of C. F. W. Ludwig, under whom he studied at Zurich, decided him to devote his attention to physiological chemistry, and therefore he went, after his graduation (1854), to Heidelberg, where R. Bunsen held the chair of chemistry. There he was so influenced by G. R.
Kirchhoff
 's mathematical teaching that he took up the study of mathematical physics at Kiinigsberg under F. E. Neumann. In 1859 he became privat-docent in physics and chemistry at Breslau, where in the preceding year he had graduated as Ph. D. with a thesis on the action of carbon monoxide on the blood. In 1866 he accepted a post in the School of Forestry at Neustadt-Eberswalde, but soon moved to Carlsruhe
Polytechnic
 . During the Franco-German campaign the Poly-technic was used as a
hospital

, and he took an active part in the care of the wounded. Finally, in 1876, he became professor of chemistry at Tubingen, where he died on the rrth of April 1895. His name is best known for the share he had in the periodic classification of the elements. He noted, as did J. A. R. New-lands in England, that if they are arranged in the order of their atomic weights they fall into groups in which similar chemical and physical properties are repeated at periodic intervals; and in particular he showed that if the atomic weights are plotted
as ordinates and the atomic volumes as abscissae, the curve obtained presents a
series
  of
maxima
  and minima, the most electro-positive elements appearing at the peaks of the curve in the order of their atomic weights. His book on Die modernen Theorien der Chemie, which was first published in Breslau in 1864, contains a discussion of relations between the atomic weights and the properties of the elements. In 1882 he received from the Royal Society, at the same time as D. J. Mendeleeff, the Davy medal in recognition of his
work
  on the Periodic Law. A younger brother, O. E. Meyer, became professor of physics at Breslau in 1864.
