Eric Scerri has chronicled this history nicely in his book The Periodic Table: Its Story and Its Significance (2006, Oxford University Press).

Midgley's anti-knock enterprise began in 1916, With the guidance of their accidental discovery, Mr. Kean, an author of two national best-selling books, The Disappearing Spoon and The Violinist's Thumb, focused his talk on the little-known back-stories of some of the elements on the periodic table. Noted that aluminum had the “classic narrative of a story,” following the element's history from obscure beginnings as an unusable metal, its rising action to acclaim among royalty, its climax at the peak of manufacturing, and its eventual crash to relative worthlessness. Though the chemical agent eventually gained worldwide acceptance, it left a rash of psychosis, a trail of bodies, an epidemic of crime, and an irreparably damaged environment in its wake.

Midgley's team tacked sections of the Periodic Table of Elements to the laboratory wall, and used it to single out the compounds with promising properties. So this is the story of helium: its name, its chemistry, its uses and what we can learn from it. Eric Scerri says: March 4, 2011 at 3:33 am.
