This series uses common or well-known elements to look at the groups of the Periodic Table, emphasizing the similarities and differences between elements.
The book closes with an examination of further chemical aspects including lesser known trends within the periodic system such as the knight's move relationship and secondary periodicity, as well at attempts to explain such trends.
Chemists, physicists, and historians of science gathered in Alberta in July 2003 to discuss the periodic table of elements, which has stood as a visual representation of chemistry since 1862....
Presents a modern and fresh exploration of the periodic table, considering the deeper implications of the arrangements of the table to atomic physics and quantum mechanics.
An extraordinary work in which each of the 21 chapters takes its title and starting point from one of the elements in the periodic table.
In these haunting reflections, Primo Levi, a chemist by training, takes the elements of the periodic table as his inspiration.
