Ever wonder why plutonium got symbol Pu and not Pl?

Where to find americium at home and why Mendeleev didn’t like tellurium?

If so, the Periodic Table Challenge is just for you.

In 2019, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of IUPAC and the International Year of the Periodic Table, IUPAC and International Younger Chemists Network (IYCN) created the Periodic Table of Younger Chemists honoring a diverse group of outstanding younger chemists from around the world who embody the mission and core values of IUPAC and highlight the diversity of careers, creativity, and dedication of the young chemists leading the community into the next century.

Chemistry is all about diversity: each new bond, each additional group makes the whole richer and stronger. IUPAC recognizes that to fulfill its vision, it must strongly commit to embracing and promoting transparency, diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities for all.

Since 1960, IUPAC has made available to chemists everywhere a large amount of important chemical information published in the journal Pure and Applied Chemistry.
