Since ancient times, scientists and philosophers have attempted to discover, classify and synthesise the Earth’s elements. Now, thanks to the hard work of many dedicated individuals, we have the periodic table: an arrangement of elements organised by atomic number and electron configuration. In addition to introducing you to the basics of elements and compounds, as well as an in-depth history of key discoveries, the How It Works Book Of The Elements covers all known elements on the planet in the order in which they appear in the table. From lanthanoids to actinoids, alkali metals to transition metals, halogens to noble gases – you can find all you need to know about the universe’s building blocks right here.
