Periodic Table will be changed thanks to U of C
For the first time in history, a change will be made to the atomic weights of some elements listed on the Periodic table of the chemical elements posted on walls of chemistry classrooms and on the inside covers of chemistry textbooks worldwide.
The new table, outlined in a report released this month, will express atomic weights of 10 elements - hydrogen, lithium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, sulfur, chlorine and thallium - in a new manner that will reflect more accurately how these elements are found in nature.

I wouldn't exactly say it's because of the U of C that they are making the changes.

Actually that is exactly what I would say.
From the article:
Quote:
Michael Wieser is a scientist from the University of Calgary who is helping to update periodic table.
Michael Wieser, a professor at the University of Calgary, is contributing to changes to the periodic table. He works with a thermal ionization mass spectrometer used to measure the isotope...
The University of Calgary has and continues to contribute substantially in the study of atomic weight variations.

Thanks, but I read the article as well.
The thread title makes it seem like it's only because of the U of C the periodic table will be changed when that's not true at all. Many different people and universities involved in this.
Anyways pretty good for the U of C to be part of this.

Just because we haven't figured out his controversial political motivations doesn't mean he doesn't have them.

I was kidding. I've been waiting for the opportunity to take a shot at Maclean's in this thread. Your post just gave me the chance.
