Introduction

The world of chemistry recently celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Periodic Table, one of the most iconic and recognisable symbols of science. But just why do we organise our elements in such a way? Who was really responsible for the idea behind it? And why do the French still refuse to call nitrogen ‘nitrogen’? The answers to these questions, and more, await you in this talk.
