This Brilliant Graphic Shows You Which Country Discovered Every Element In The Periodic Table

Alex Heber, Business Insider Australia
April 28, 2014

When it comes to discovering elements the United Kingdom is at the top of the table.

This periodic table graphic was posted by Google Science Fair on Sunday and shows which nations discovered each element on the periodic table.

Leading the charge, the UK has discovered 24 elements, closely followed by the US with 21, Sweden with 20 and Germany with 19.

A number of old favorites including gold, mercury and copper are listed as “ancient discovery” and don’t have a country of origin.

Of course, a Russian “discovered” the periodic table itself, which was one of the most amazing leaps of science ever, considering that he did it LONG before the actual nature of atomic structure itself was even vaguely understood.

I’m sure North Koreans are taught that Kim Il-sung discovered all of them.

Wasn't it an insane Kenyan who claimed discovery of the fraudulent element "hopeychangieum"?

No Muslim countries? What are you talking about? Sweden is quite prominent.

It’s because white male chauvinists have a misguided worship of individual rights and ideas of property ownership. An inclusive culture worships mother gaia and so people of color have a more nuanced, holistic outlook that doesn’t discriminate between elements. /s

The Asians probably had discovered 90% of these elements prior to the year 1000A.D. Wars and dynasties destroyed them for their descendents.

Obama will be appointing a special science advisor to help the Muslim countries discover new elements for the periodic table. Someone needs to tell him the only ones they’re interested in have already been discovered: uranium (#92) and plutonium (#94)
