PUBLISHED: 26 September 2019 The International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements in 2019 marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Dmitri Mendeleev’s periodic table. The periodic table – a classificatory tool, educational diagram and representation of elements – has since become one of the most ubiquitous and successful productions of European science, and is to chemistry as Darwin’s theory of natural selection is to biology.1 The periodic table is not only found in every chemistry laboratory and high school science classroom, but has also inspired a plethora of literary and cinematic interpretations. Acclaimed works of literature such as holocaust survivor, writer and chemist Primo Levy’s The Periodic Table, as well as Oliver Sacks’s much acclaimed Uncle Tungsten were inspired by it. Elements bromine and barium form the opening credits to the TV series Breaking Bad. More recently, the periodic table has even garnered its own song in a viral YouTube video.2
