Credit due to k.d. lang for hearing how great the three of them would sound before getting it together. I think I love pretty much every moment on the record where they're weaving it together and there's a fair amount of that here.

Latin words across my heart symbols of infinity, elements so pure atomic number

Let’s learn about the periodic table

This iconic chart holds information about all the known elements. As more are discovered, the table expands.

The periodic table is instantly recognizable. This well-known chart is found in chemistry textbooks and on classroom walls. It lays out all the known elements and has been around in various forms for more than 150 years. But the version of that chart that Russian scientist Dmitri Mendeleev constructed in 1869 isn’t the same chart we see today.

Back then, his chart contained only 63 elements. They were all that were known. Mendeleev left gaps in his table where predicted, but not yet known, elements should fit. And once scientists found all the naturally occurring ones, they started bombarding two elements together to create new elements. Today, the table has 118 known elements.

Chemistry’s ever-useful periodic table celebrates a big birthday: Now 150 years old, this ‘table’ can take many forms, from block charts to spiral trees — and for good reason (11/21/2019) Readability: 8.2

The newest elements finally have names: Nihonium? Tennessine? These aren’t body parts or medicines. They’re among the names just given to the four newest superheavy elements. (6/8/2016) Readability: 8.5

Astronomers finally find the cosmic source of gold and silver: Gravitational waves point to answers for some longstanding mysteries of the universe (10/16/2017) Readability 8.1

~29.06.17 ~ New notebook for chemistry ft. list of elements by atomic number ...when it comes to notebooks, im not about brands but about paper. As long as its college ruled then its lit. I got this from a local 99c store for a $1.29. 😊
