2019 International Year of the Periodic Table update


Timeline of Elements 

Social media blitz: On March 6 we began revealing the element artwork in order of atomic number. We will be tweeting out two elements a day for 59 days. Follow us @chem13news to see each elemental artwork revealed. A happy coincidence — on March 6th, Dmitri Mendeleev’s Periodic Table was announced to the Russian Physicochemical Society in 1869. This issue will be going to print when hydrogen and helium were revealed. All the artwork has been truly amazing.  

Not on Twitter? Check out our website where we will display all of the element artwork that has been revealed as well as photos of the artists.
