Ein neues Periodensystem: Zum 150-jährigen Jubiläum des Periodensystems der Elemente

“We are very proud to have launched the new EuChemS Periodic Table depicting the issue of element scarcity on the occasion of the upcoming International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements 2019 (IYPT2019). Please feel free to also use it to print onto various merchandise items, such as T-shirts, bags, …..The Periodic Table is now freely downloadable in high resolution on our website. The work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution NoDerivs CC BY-ND. Support notes, which explain in more detail how the Periodic Table has been designed, and which also include some questions for students, will soon be available for download on our website. Versions in other languages are to be developed.We strongly encourage you to share it as widely as possible (website, social media, ….).  If you have any questions, please contact the EuChemS Secretariat at: secretariat@euchems.eu.
