Periodic Table Illustrated: A Guide to the 118 Chemical Elements
The Periodic Table Illustrated is a compact illustrated guide to the 118 elements and their properties that will inform and fascinate anyone interested in the core chemical elements that make up our world. Each entry includes the chemical symbol for each element, as well as its structure, uses and history. The periodic table provides the most convenient way of organising chemical elements by specific icons, and is widely used in chemistry and physics as a quick and easy resource for scientists and students. It provides an easy visual reference of the periodic law, which says that when elements are arranged in order of their atomic numbers, an approximate recurrence of their properties is evident. In nature, elements up to atomic number 94 are known; further elements have been synthesised in a laboratory. The Periodic Table Illustrated is a compact guide to the currently known 118 elements and their properties.
