Abstract
Editorial to the Thematic Issue of Comptes Rendus Chimie dedicated to the Periodic Table of the Elements
Highlights
A multitude of events have been organized around the world and the Académie des sciences contributed to this celebration through a Symposium, “Variations around the Periodic Table”, that was held in Paris on 19 November 2019
In 1875 Mendeleev published in the Comptes Rendus de l’Académie des sciences a version of his classification that prefigures the Periodic Table as we know it today, with 118 elements organized in 7 periods and 18 columns
If the Periodic Table is known to almost everybody, the history of each element, the origin of its name, the scientific bases that led to the stepwise establishment of its current version, the false discoveries that accompanied these adventures and the recent developments dealing with the actinide and transactinide elements are less known to the non-experts
Summary
To celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the publication of The Principles of Chemistry by Mendeleev, UNESCO has declared 2019 the International Year of the Periodic Table. A multitude of events have been organized around the world and the Académie des sciences contributed to this celebration through a Symposium, “Variations around the Periodic Table”, that was held in Paris on 19 November 2019.
