ORDER AND LANGUAGE IN THE PERIODIC TABLE
TWO APPROACHES TO THE BEST-KNOWN CHEMICAL ICON
This year, 2019, is the International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements. As part of it we present two approaches to the best-known chemical icon. Entitled “Order is a fantasy”, YouTuber Deborahciencia will explain to us, in a different way, the history of the periodic table, with a plot similar to that of a complicated suspense film. And with the title “The alphabet of the periodic table”, the professor and broadcaster Claudi Mans will show us the parallels between language and the periodic table, and he will make us practise with some jumbled up symbols. Sílvia Simon will present and host the event, and will moderate the questions that the audience asks the speakers.
