Chapter 5
Row 6: caesium to radon
The sixth row is the longest of all. This chapter covers its two first elements and the row after the lanthanides, which have a chapter of their own. Here are the heavy metals of jewellery and industry: tungsten, platinum, gold, mercury and lead, many with symbols from their Latin names. The row ends with polonium, astatine and radon, three radioactive elements found by chemists in the late 1800s and 1900s.
