Can you name everything from Ac to Zr? Test your knowledge of the periodic table and see if you can top the leaderboard ...
The periodic table on the website of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry avoids making a decision about whether La and Ac or Lu and Lr are group 3 elements.
Many scientists worked on the problem of organizing the elements, but Dmitri Mendeleev published his first version of the periodic table in 1869, and is most often credited as its inventor. Since then ...
Predictive power. Gallium. Mendeleev left blank spaces in his original periodic table so that he could properly line up the known elements. Gallium, element 31, was his first gap to be filled, in ...
The iconic chart of elements has served chemistry well for 150 years. But it’s not the only option out there, and scientists are pushing its limits. By Siobhan Roberts When Sir Martyn Poliakoff ...
They are the first to be included in the table since 2011, when elements 114 and 116 were added. The first true iteration of the table was produced in 1869 by the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev.
