The Periodic Table: Its Story and Its Significance
Scerri, Eric R. (Lecturer, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Lecturer, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, UCLA)
A comprehensive survey of the periodic table of the elements including the work of precursors, and the discovery of the periodic system by six independent scientists. Other chapters are devoted to Mendeleev, the impact of modern physics including Bohr's quantum theoretical approach. The extent to which modern quantum mechanics is able to explain the periodic system is carefully examined.
