The Periodic Table of Elements hasn''t always looked like it does now, a well-organized chart arranged by atomic number. In the mid-nineteenth century, chemists were of the belief that the elements should be sorted by atomic weight. However, the weights of many elements were cal…
Throughout its formation, the periodic table has seen false entries, good-faith errors, retractions, and dead ends; in fact, there have been more elemental 'discoveries' that have proven false than there are current elements on the table. This book collects the most notable of t…
"The Lost Elements tells stories of errors and mistakes in the development of the Periodic Table of Elements, from its conception to the present. Covers topics like false discoveries, scientific retractions, and elements removed from the Table."
