Description
The Periodic Table: A Very Short Introduction by Eric R. Scerri provides an in-depth exploration of the arrangement of chemical elements and their properties. This new edition celebrates the completion of the seventh period of the table, with the ratification and naming of four new elements. Eric R. Scerri delves into the trends in properties that led to the construction of the periodic table, revealing how atomic theory and quantum mechanics have shaped our understanding of the elements and their compounds. The book also incorporates new material on recent advances in the origin of the elements and developments concerning group three of the periodic table. This concise introduction is part of Oxford University Press's Very Short Introductions series, which offers expert authors' insights into a wide range of subjects in an engaging and accessible manner.
