20/11/2017 Update: I will be maintaining The Periodic Table series until the end of 2017. After that either they'll slowly fade away, one by one. Or, if someone else wants to take over all or part of the series I'll happily pass over to them. I can even supply the tubes that are currently being used. BlaKids.
Welcome to the periodic table of the elements powered trail. There will be 114 caches to each represent each element on the periodic table (until new elements are added). For simplicity sake only elements approved by the “International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry” will be included in this series.
The cache containers are small tubes as shown in the picture below
These containers have only a logbook inside them and no pen/pencil. Please make sure to bring a pen.
Flerovium was reported informally in January 1999 following experiments towards the end of December 1998 involving scientists at Dubna (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research) in Russia apparently using isotopes supplied by scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA. Only one atom was identified at that time and the claim only just been ratified. The results of calculations suggest that flerovium will not form a tetrafluoride FlF4, but could be isolated as a water-soluble difluoride FlF2. Source: Webelements.
This power trail starts at Mount Henry Bridge and continues south down the freeway cyclepath. This power trail is designed for bicycles or walkers and will be extremely hard, if not impossible for drivers. There is however a car park and a playground near the start.
Please stay safe and enjoy the power trail.
