One-hundred and fifty years ago, Dmitri Mendeleev first presented his periodic system to the Russian Chemical Society, forever shaping the way we look at the elements. His system, which organized the elements based on atomic weight, valence, and measurable properties, laid the foundation for today’s Periodic Table. In honor of this, The United Nations has declared 2019 to be the International Year of the Periodic Table.
Join the Greater Houston Section and hundreds of groups from around the U.S. and the globe for a live celebration of one of chemistry’s greatest achievements. Explore the early efforts of scientists to organize the elements, be the first online to answer elemental “Table Trivia,” and meet the scientists who are studying the production of new superheavy elements.
