"If we behave responsibly by cutting our dependence on fossil fuels and never using them from conflict resources, we can save our beautiful and diverse planet and restore carbon to its rightful green color." Professor David Cole-Hamilton said: "This updated version of the Periodic Table graphically highlights the problems of carbon in our world now.
The green represents the plentifulness of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide, carbonate rocks and vegetation red represents that this plentifulness will cause serious problems if nothing is done to restrict its use and gray reflects the fact that carbon resources, especially oil, can emanate from conflict resources such as from countries at war over oilfields or where oil revenues are used to fight wars. Usually green, carbon features in the new table as a tricolor of green, red and gray which each represent a separate attribute of carbon. The new updated version released today (Wednesday 3 November 2021) graphically highlights the problems of carbon in our world now. Today, to coincide with COP26, the European Chemical Society (EuChemS) has released this updated version of its iconic Periodic Table, first produced for the International Year of the Periodic Table in 2019.įor the first time, that version highlighted element availability and vulnerability and was created by a task group chaired by former President of the Society, University of St Andrews Professor of Chemistry, David Cole-Hamilton.
The table, which organizes all discovered chemical elements allowing scientists to quickly refer to an element's properties such as its atomic mass and chemical symbol, is a key resource and classroom staple.
