The Chemistry Advent Calendar #IYPT2019

Welcome to the 2019 edition of the Compound Interest #ChemistryAdvent calendar! As it’s the International Year of the Periodic Table, this year we’re running with a periodic table theme – every day in the run-up to Christmas, there’ll be a different periodic table featured.

New links will appear below the graphic each day (note that I’ve decided to dispense with the clickable image this year, as it’s time-consuming to set up and only works on some devices anyway).
