Elementen

Zuivere stoffen die niet ontleed kunnen worden zijn elementen. Net als andere stoffen hebben ook elementen intensieve eigenschappen waaraan ze te herkennen zijn. Een van de belangrijkste eigenschappen voor de analist is de massa van elementen. Sommige elementen zijn al eeuwen bekend, andere zijn pas de laatste jaren gevonden. Vooral in de 18e en 19e eeuw werden veel elementen voor het eerst als zodanig herkend.

Jaartal van ontdekken

↑ De jaartallen zijn ontleend aan de verschillende artikelen over de diverse elementen in de Wikipedia.
↑ Helium was in 1868 al gevonden in de chromosfeer van de zon, daaraan dankt het zijn naam. Pas in 1895 werd het ook op aarde gevonden en konden naast de spectroscopische ook andere eigenschappen bestudeerd worden.
