Which prize did Mendeleev receive in 1889? He received the Faraday Lectureship Prize.

The Faraday Lectureship, now commonly called the Faraday Lectureship Prize, was awarded to Mendeleev in 1889. It was named for the English experimental scientist Michael Faraday and recognized major contributions to chemistry. The associated lecture tradition connected scientific distinction with public explanation of important research.

Mendeleev’s award came during the period when his periodic law was gaining international acceptance. His table arranged elements according to recurring properties and allowed him to predict undiscovered elements, including gallium, scandium and germanium. Those successful predictions helped establish the table’s scientific importance.

The other options belong to different parts of his career. He received the Davy Medal in 1882 and the Copley Medal in 1905. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry late in life but never won it, so the 1889 award should not be confused with a Nobel honor.
