Facts and Info about the element Bismuth - IUPAC and the Modern Standardised Periodic Table The Standardised Periodic Table in use today was agreed by the International Union of Pure Applied Chemistry, IUPAC, in 1985 which includes the Bismuth element. The famous Russian Scientist, Dimitri Mendeleev, perceived the correct classification method of "the periodic table" for the 65 elements which were known in his time. Bismuth was discovered by Claude Geoffrey Junine in 1753, although it as used in Ancient times and used by the ancient Asians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and Chinese. The Standardised Periodic Table now recognises more periods and elements than Dimitri Mendeleev knew in his day but still all fitting into his concept of the "Periodic Table" in which Bismuth is just one element that can be found. |
