Several years later in 1885, the Periodische Gesetzm\u00e4ssigkeit der Elemente nach Mendeleiff<\/a> was created, which was recently found at the University of St Andrews. This is thought to be the oldest surviving periodic table in the world! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, 150 years later after Mendeleev\u2019s discovery, the UN and UNESCO have declared 2019 to be The International Year of the Periodic Table.<\/a> Learn about each of the elements through IUPAC\u2019s interactive Periodic Table!<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elements marked with gray are from conflict minerals, all of which are used in smartphones. Elements in red are the most at risk of running out. Would you miss any of these elements if they were gone? Is there more that we can do to recycle and reuse these naturally-occurring elements? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are now 118 elements, and the newest elements are nihonium (Nh), moscovium (Mc), tennessine (Ts), and oganesson (Og). These four new elements were created synthetically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
