Some older versions of the periodic table

I posted older versions of the periodic table. One is directly from Mendeleev handwritten drafts. There was no any periodic table older. There is no any aether in it.

one published by Mendeleev in 1904

Mendeleev published an article in 1905, with a modified table where he marked a place for two hypotetical elements "x" and "y" he discussed in article and tried to estimate their properties. He never assumed this table as a "correct" one or intended for teaching or whatever.

(Notice that nobody from those obsessed with aether posts ever discuss that second element - coronium. How is that? It is as important as aether element named "newtonium" by Mendeleev, and if coronium does not exist, then there is no place for newtonium)

This modified periodic table from 1905 article is nothing more than an illustration for the article. Mendeleev himself wrote about this:

Я и смотрю на свою далекую от полноты попытку понять природу мирового эфира с реально химической стороны не более, как на выражение суммы накопившихся у меня впечатлений, вырывающихся исключительно лишь по той причине, что мне не хочется, чтобы мысли, навеваемые действительностью, пропадали. Вероятно, что подобные же мысли приходили многим, но, пока они не изложены, они легко и часто исчезают и не развиваются, не влекут за собой постепенного накопления достоверного, которое одно сохраняется. Если в них есть хоть часть природной правды, которую мы все ищем, попытка моя не напрасна, ее разработают, дополнят и поправят, а если моя мысль неверна в основаниях, ее изложение, после того или иного вида опровержения, предохранит других от повторения. Другого пути для медленного, но прочного движения вперед я не знаю

my simplified English translation:

I look at my attempt to understand the nature of aether from real chemical side, which is far from completeness, as expression of the sum of my accumulated impressions, flowing out only because I don't want my thoughts about it to be lost. Probably thoughts like mine come to many minds, but until they expounded, they easily come lost, does not develop and so does not accumulate as knowledge which is only matter. If they have a tiny bit of natural truth we all look for, my attempt is not vain, it will be developed and enchanced by others. If my thought is inherently wrong, after one or another kind of disproval, it's expound will prevent others to make my mistake. I don't know any other way for slow, but strong movement forward.

Mendeleev know about aether theory since the beginning, but never really included it in his periodic table, because it is a table of physical and chemical properties. He directly wrote that there are much more research on aether have to be done, but nobody tried to isolate it in pure form and study its physical and chemical properties. So, it was never put in periodic table.

Do the research, find out physical and chemical properties of aether, and only then it will get a right to have place in periodic table. This had not been done earlier and nobody of those who talk about aether theory today have any intention to do that. Case closed. There is no place for aether in periodic table, just like 150 years ago.

His 1905 article was like "OK, guys, if you wnat to imagine where aether could be placed in periodic table, then here is my assumptions, and it could look like that.". Account it as a prove of aether existence or whatever such memes try to achieve is a plain idiocy.

Nobody removed aether from periodic table, because it was never in it since the beginning.
