The famous periodic table became a real discovery for world science: the scientist’s contribution simply cannot be overestimated.

However, not everyone knows all the chemical elements by heart.

Few people know that there are even some kind of competitions: people try to outrun each other in the speed of listing all the chemical elements of the periodic table. Doing this quickly and without errors is extremely difficult, because the table contains as many as 118 elements.

Who managed to get into the pages of the International Book of Records in this category

This competition was held among representatives of the younger generation. The best result was shown by a little girl.

The record holder was only four years old at the time of recording the achievement. The child lives in Qatar.

It is noteworthy that the child has a phenomenal memory. She managed to learn and list without mistakes the planets that make up the Solar System, as well as the people who held the post of Prime Minister of India.
