For chemistry students and teachers: The tabular chart on the right is arranged by the discovery year. The oldest chemical element is Phosphorus and the newest element is Hassium. Please note that the elements do not show their natural relation towards each other as in the Periodic system. There you can find the metals, semi-conductor(s), non-metal(s), inert noble gas(ses), Halogens, Lanthanoides, Actinoids (rare earth elements) and transition metals.	1755	Magnesium	Mg	12
