Ce livre est un voyage au cœur des éléments chimiques. Il a pour but d'en apprendre davantage sur ce monde fascinant. Il s'adresse à la fois aux petits et grands, curieux d'en savoir plus sur notre Univers. Pour chaque élément chimique, l'auteur nous explique : son étymologie qui raconte son origine, sa découverte ou sa création à travers les histoires de femmes et d'hommes exceptionnels qui se sont parfois sacrifiés dans ces quêtes, ses multiples applications dans notre quotidien, rendant ainsi ce monde plus proche de nous. Cent cinquante ans après l'élaboration du tableau périodique par Mendeleïev, ce livre montre combien les éléments chimiques ont changé notre vie et pourront permettre à l'humanité de relever les défis qui l'attendent.

Quelle est la formule chimique d'un être humain ? Quelle est la substance la plus dangereuse de l'histoire ? Quels sont les neuf éléments qui ont radicalement changé le monde ? Ce livre vous emmène à la découverte des 118 briques fondamentales de la matière : les atomes ! Au cours de ce voyage, vous rencontrerez le célèbre savant Dmitri Mendeleïev, inventeur du tableau périodique des éléments, et serez initié avec humour et sans effort aux mystères de la matière, à la radioactivité et même à la fusion nucléaire...

Quel est le rapport entre l'ADN, la noix et Jupiter, entre l'hémoglobine, Mars et Iron Man, le nickel et les 7 nains, ou encore les chats, la menthe, la térébenthine, Eric Emmanuel Schmidt, le polystyrène et Raymond Queneau ? Cet ouvrage raconte les histoires des noms d'éléments dans tous les sens du terme : qu'ils soient des éléments de la nature (la terre, l'eau, plantes et animaux...), des éléments constitutifs du vivant (l'ADN, les protéines, les oligoéléments...) et des matériaux (métaux, polymères...), ou encore des éléments du tableau périodique de Mendeleiev, entièrement parcouru au fil des chapitres. Le lecteur découvre que les noms des éléments sont souvent révélateurs des inspirations et des rêves d'hommes et de femmes. L'histoire prodigieuse de ces noms l'emmène vers des mondes insoupçonnés : la nature, l'astronomie, l'histoire, la littérature, les voyages, et même les légendes et la mythologie.

The periodic table is one of the most potent icons in science. It lies at the core of chemistry and embodies the most fundamental principles of the field. The one definitive text on the development of the periodic table by van Spronsen (1969), has been out of print for a considerable time. The present book provides a successor to van Spronsen, but goes further in giving an evaluation of the extent to which modern physics has, or has not, explained the periodic system. The book is written in a lively style to appeal to experts and interested lay-persons alike. The Periodic Table begins with an overview of the importance of the periodic table and of the elements and it examines the manner in which the term 'element' has been interpreted by chemists and philosophers. The book then turns to a systematic account of the early developments that led to the classification of the elements including the work of Lavoisier, Boyle and Dalton and Cannizzaro. The precursors to the periodic system, like Dvbereiner and Gmelin, are discussed. In chapter 3 the discovery of the periodic system by six independent scientists is examined in detail. Two chapters are devoted to the discoveries of Mendeleev, the leading discoverer, including his predictions of new elements and his accommodation of already existing elements. Chapters 6 and 7 consider the impact of physics including the discoveries of radioactivity and isotopy and successive theories of the electron including Bohr's quantum theoretical approach. Chapter 8 discusses the response to the new physical theories by chemists such as Lewis and Bury who were able to draw on detailed chemical knowledge to correct some of the early electronic configurations published by Bohr and others. Chapter 9 provides a critical analysis of the extent to which modern quantum mechanics is, or is not, able to explain the periodic system from first principles. Finally, chapter 10 considers the way that the elements evolved following the Big Bang and i

Since 1969, the international chemistry community has only held conferences on the topic of the Periodic Table three times, and the 2012 conference in Cusco, Peru was the first in almost a decade. The conference was highly interdisciplinary, featuring papers on geology, physics, mathematical and theoretical chemistry, the history and philosophy of chemistry, and chemical education, from the most reputable Periodic Table scholars across the world. Eric Scerri and Guillermo Restrepo have collected fifteen of the strongest papers presented at this conference, from the most notable Periodic Table scholars. The collected volume will contain pieces on chemistry, philosophy of science, applied mathematics, and science education.

Symmetry is at the heart of our understanding of matter. This book tells the fascinating story of the constituents of matter from a common symmetry perspective. The standard model of elementary particles and the periodic table of chemical elements have the common goal to bring order in the bewildering chaos of the constituents of matter. Their success relies on the presence of fundamental symmetries in their core.The purpose of Shattered Symmetry is to share the admiration for the power and the beauty of these symmetries. The reader is taken on a journey from the basic geometric symmetry group of a circle to the sublime dynamic symmetries that govern the motions of the particles. Along the way the theory of symmetry groups is gradually introduced with special emphasis on its use as a classification tool and its graphical representations. This is applied to the unitary symmetry of the eightfold way of quarks, and to the four-dimensional symmetry of the hydrogen atom. The final challenge is to open up the structure of Mendeleev's table which goes beyond the symmetry of the hydrogen atom. Breaking this symmetry to accommodate the multi-electron atoms requires us to leave the common ground of linear algebras and explore the potential of non-linearity.

This year we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Mendeleev's first publication of the Periodic Table of Elements. This book offers an original viewpoint on the history of the Periodic Table: a collective volume with short illustrated papers on women and their contribution to the building and the understanding of the Periodic Table and of the elements themselves. Few existing texts deal with women's contributions to the Periodic Table. A book on women's work will help make historical women chemists more visible, as well as shed light on the multifaceted character of the work on the chemical elements and their periodic relationships. Stories of female input, the editors believe, will contribute to the understanding of the nature of science, of collaboration as opposed to the traditional depiction of the lone genius. While the discovery of elements will be a natural part of this collective work, the editors aim to go beyond discovery histories. Stories of women contributors to the chemistry of the elements will also include understanding the concept of element, identifying properties, developing analytical methods, mapping the radioactive series, finding applications of elements, and the participation of women as audiences when new elements were presented at lectures. As for the selection of women, the chapters include pre-periodic table contributions as well as recent discoveries, unknown stories as well as more famous ones. The main emphasis will be on work conducted in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Furthermore, the book includes elements from different groups in the periodic table, so as to represent a variety of chemical contexts.
