The year 2019 marks the 100th anniversary of IUPAC and also the 150th anniversary of the development of the Periodic Law of the Elements independently by Dmitri Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer. To celebrate these anniversaries, IUPAC will be hosting an online quiz about the Periodic Table of the Elements. The online challenge will be aimed at a global audience of young students. Our goal will be to reach players from at least 100 countries. The global challenge will be launched in January 2019 and is available all year until the end of 2019. Get in Your Element! Pick your element to play. Test your knowledge of the elements against the Periodic Table Challenge. Do well (at least 12 out of 20 questions correct) and you can advance to the Nobelium Contest for a chance to win a limited edition IUPAC Periodic Table autographed by a Nobel Laureate in Chemistry! More details to be provided soon. Subscribe to the newsletter to receive updates.
