“Elementary, my dear Watson”*…

From Keith Enevoldsen, “The Periodic Table of the Elements, in Pictures and Words“: a periodic table with a drawing of one of the element’s main human uses or natural occurrences. Larger (and zoomable) version here.

There’s another, textual (and more informationally- rich) version here.

* widely attributed to, but never actuallly “said,” by Sherlock Holmes in any of Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories

I just need my breakfast, lunch and dinner each day and I am happy! That's my routine.

Caesium loves to read books everyday as her routine! Any book about the periodic table interests her the most.

Happy Periodic Table Day, Mastodonverse!

Today we commemorate the 161st anniversary of the publication of the very 1st #PeriodicTableOfElements back on February 7th, 1863, which was just 1 day before the 29th birthday of one of its originators, Dmitri Mendeleev.
