scerri Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 Hi Folks, I stumbled across this website and decided I must join. I am a chemistry professor at UCLA and the author ofThe Periodic Table: Its Story and Its Significance, Oxford University Press, 2007. Please check out details on Amazon or any other relevant book site. The book has been reprinted 3 times since it was published about 9 months ago. I also teach courses in History & Philosophy of Science and am looking forward to some interesting discussions here. regards,eric scerri Tormod 1 Quote

scerri Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Posted July 18, 2007 I found you by a rather odd route. I am preparing to go to San Francisco for a meeting on the philosophy of chemistry and have been trying to find somebody who shares my maltese last name, Scerri, and who contacted me ayear ago to say that we shared the same name etc. So I type his name into my search engine and find yet another Scerri who seems to be on this forum. But then it turns out it was me all along only I havnt posted for over a year and the system did not seem to recognize me! At least I think this is what's happening! regards,eric Quote

If you take the atomic number of each element under a modulus, if they are congruent does that indicate any shared property? For example Magnesium atomic number = 12 and 12 mod 9 = 3, and Polonium atomic number = 84 and 84 mod 9 = 3. Is there some group property they share because of this congruent residue?Thanks. Quote
