Ranging from the ancient Greeks’ identification of metals such as gold, silver and lead to the splitting of the atom this chronological account of the 118 elements of the Periodic Table covers millennia of discovery. Illustrated with historic images, it follows the discovery of metals such as platinum in the 18th century and the development of spectrometry in the 19th. Sidebars show the atomic number, symbol and weight of each element.
