Question

Please write a preface for my school project files . (200 words approx.) for periodic table

Answer 1

The Per
iodic Table: A Very Short Introduction looks at the trends in properties of elements that led to the construction of the periodic table, and how the deeper meaning of its structure gradually became apparent through atomic theory and quantum mechanics, so that one science, physics, arguably came to colonize another, chemistry. This VSI shows that quantum mechanics is absolutely central to chemistry, as it underlies the behaviour of all of the elements and their compounds, and therefore underpins the structure of the periodic table. It also explores the debated question of what form an optimal periodic table might take.
