Martin Levy, “Chemistry and Chemical Technology in Mesopotamia”, 1959 was the topic of an earlier blog post.
Antoine Lavoisier, “Elements of Chemistry”, 1789 was the topic of an earlier blog post.
Here I present: Antoine Lavoisier, “Elements of Chemistry”, 1789, PART TWO (2).
Antoine Lavoisier, “Elements of Chemistry”, 1789 was a book on standardization. The chemical elements are given a Latin-letter symbol, and the symbol represents the element in writing (without regard to the language). Chemical symbols equivalent to mathematical symbols is defining point of elements.
The “Lavoisier table” of 1789 elements from the book is shown ABOVE. The “Mendeleev table” of 1868 elements is shown BELOW.
Here I presented: Antoine Lavoisier, “Elements of Chemistry”, 1789, PART TWO (2).
SUMMARY.
There are nine (9) elements known to prehistoric times, shown in the listing BELOW.
Nine prehistoric chemical elements are listed BELOW by atomic number:
6 carbon C,
16 sulfur S,
26 iron Fe,
29 copper Cu,
47 silver Ag,
50 tin Sn,
79 gold Au,
80 mercury Hg,
82 lead Pb.
The nine prehistoric elements are part of both the “Lavoisier table” of 1789; and, the Mendeleev table” of 1868. The tables clearly indicated “uranium” U (#92) as the last naturally occurring element.
Dmitri Mendeleev (1834 – 1907) Дмитрий Менделеев, “Principles of Chemistry”, 1868 was the topic of an earlier blog post.
