Stylishly Periodic

This clever pun alludes to the periodic table, a collection of elements organized based on their atomic numbers. Atomic numbers are the count of positively charged protons residing within each element’s nucleus. Vertical columns are known as groups, while horizontal rows are referred to as periods.

With a total of 118 discovered elements gracing the table, the classification of certain heavy elements remains a subject of scientific debate. This iconic arrangement owes its inception to the Russian scientist Dmitri Mendeleev, who conceived the first periodic table in 1869. It finds practical applications not only in chemistry but also in physics and various other scientific disciplines.
