Table of the Chemical Elements. 
A work dealing with chemical analyses is 
scarcely complete without a table of the chemical 
elements which form the alphabet of the science. 
In the following table the first column gives the 
names of the elements, the second column the 
symbols used instead of the names. The third 
column represents the combining powers exhibited 
by the elements in their most stable compounds as 
compared with hydrogen. The figures in this 
column represent the number of atoms of hydrogen 
which one atom of the different elements can com- 
bine with or re lace. The third and fourth 
columns each represent the relative weights of the 
atoms of the elements as compared with hydrogen, 
the atomic weight of which is regarded as unity. 
The third column contains the older determinations 
and is here retained as, for the commoner elements, 
these determinations are very nearly accurate, and 
being in most cases whole numbers, their use 
renders calculations easier than the more exact 
determinations given on the fourth column.

analyses in the preceding pages, carbonic anhydride, 
phosphoric anhydrido and Biilphuric anhydride are for 
the most part written carbonic acid, phosphoric acjtj 
and sulphuric acid.
