`
`A GENUINE MERRIAM-WEBSTER
`
`The name Webster alone is no guarantee of excellence. It is used by a
`number of publishers and may serve mainly to mislead an unwary
`buyer.
`
`M'erriam-Webster™ is the name you should look for when you
`consider the purchase of dictionaries or other fine reference books.
`It carries the reputation of a company that has been publishing since
`1831 and is your assurance of quality and authority.

`PERIODIC TABLE
`
`This is a common long form of the table. Roman numerals and letters heading the vertical columns indicate the groups. (There are differ-
`ences of opinion regarding the letter designations, but those given here are probably the most generqlly used. Also, international standards
`favor numbering the groups 1-18 from left to right using Arabic niimerals, but the designations shown below remam quite common.) The
`horizontal rows represent the periods, with two series removed from the two very long periods and represented below the main table. Atom-
`ic numbers are given above the symbols for the elements. Compare ELEMENT table.
