How to use this set
This Elements set outlines the properties, uses, discovery, technology, geology and biology of all the elements known up to 118.There is also a key facts table of comparative data for each element.
The elements are presented in alphabetical order, with the full name of the element and its symbol (e.g. americium – Am). Frequently, an element’s symbol derives from a different word than its common name. For instance, Ag (from the
Latin word argentum) is the symbol for silver.To help you find these elements
by symbol, the symbols appear
alphabetically at the tops of appropriate pages. For example, Ag appears on the
page for aluminium and points you to silver: Ag see Silver.
