Chemical Galaxy: a new vision of the periodic table of the elements.The Chemical Galaxy The Chemical Galaxy is a new representation by Philip J. Stewart of the periodic system of the elements, better known in tabular form as the periodic table, based on the cyclical nature of characteristics of the chemical elements (which depend principally on the valence electrons). Poster is a new creation in the world of periodic table charts. Developed by Philip Stewart Philip Stewart is a British writer and teacher, who retired in 2006 from a post at the University of Oxford, England. He decided at an early age that he did not want to choose between arts and sciences. , is an ecologist at Oxford University, this table was created in a spiral design. It uses a starry star·ry adj. star·ri·er, star·ri·est 1. Marked or set with stars or starlike objects. 2. Shining or glittering like stars. 3. Shaped like a star. 4. Illuminated by stars; starlit. pathway to link the elements and to express the astronomical reach of chemistry. The elements are arranged by their atomic number atomic number, often represented by the symbol Z, the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, as well as the number of electrons in the neutral atom. Atoms with the same atomic number make up a chemical element. , starling starling, any of a group of originally Old World birds that have become distributed worldwide. Starlings were brought to New York in 1890; since then the common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) has spread throughout North America. with the galactic center and circle outwards. This design can also be read as the approximate sequence of formation of the elements in the history of the universe. Neutronium, the "element of zero atomic number," absent from standard periodic tables, is at the center of this work. It forms most of the mass of neutron stars, of which there are thought to be 100 million in our galaxy, making it as abundant as oxygen. The intention is not to replace the familiar table, but to complement it by stimulating the imagination and to evoke wonder at the grand order underlying the universe.
