Description
The UNESCO has declared a year-long party to celebrate the periodic table’s 150th anniversary. In honour of the 150 years of the Periodic Table this is the segment where every week we pick at random one of the 118 elements from that Table. With brilliant scientific minds we delve into shocking, fascinating, and dramatic tales of the elements in the live radio segment we call the ‘Element of surprise’ (CBC Ottawa, Canada). In this ongoing series we have learned the nefarious shadow personality of strontium, the ruinous nature of oxygen, and heard palladium being called weakling.
