Still Waters Posted November 28, 2020 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2020 The periodic table of the elements, principally created by the Russian chemist, Dmitry Mendeleev (1834-1907), celebrated its 150th anniversary last year. It would be hard to overstate its importance as an organising principle in chemistry – all budding chemists become familiar with it from the earliest stages of their education. Given the table's importance, one might be forgiven for thinking that the ordering of the elements were no longer subject to debate. However, two scientists in Moscow, Russia, have recently published a proposal for a new order. https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-propose-a-brand-new-periodic-table-and-it-s-a-trip https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/new-ordering-of-elements-could-help-find-materials-with-promising-properties/4012751.article 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatetopa Posted November 28, 2020 #3 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Sweet. It was remarkable for Mendeleev to develop the grid we are familiar with from a linear list of elements. It has been so useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
