One of the most familiar features of any high-school chemistry lab is the
Periodic Table of Elements. Elegant, informative, useful to any student in the
lab - the Periodic Table neatly summarizes our scientific knowledge of the
chemical elements from hydrogen to uranium and beyond - atomic number, atomic
weight, isotopes, and more. But how did scientists discover all of these
features of the elements? How did the Periodic Table come to be? And, even more
basically, how did the concept of the chemical element come to dominate how
scientists understand chemistry? This book shows readers the answers to these
and other questions regarding the scientific understanding of matter.
