Moseley and Periodic Law

Did You Know?

You have been learning more and more about the periodic table of elements as you progress in your study of chemistry, but you probably will not find the fun facts below in any formal chemistry lesson. Did you know that:

• Fifteen of the elements are named after famous scientists;
• Only 90 of the elements on the periodic table occur naturally, and the rest are made by scientists; and
• The only letter not used on the periodic table is the letter "j?"
