Outdated Periodic Table

[Title]: The periodic table of the elements

[The following four rectangles featuring the large element abbreviation, with the full element name written below, in a typical periodic table style]

[Top row, far left]: H Hydrogen

[Top row, far right, detached from any other box]: He Helium

[Bottom row, attached directly below the “H” box]: Li Lithium

[Bottom row, attached directly to the right of “Li”]: Be Beryllium

[Caption below the panel]:

You can spot an outdated science textbook by checking the bottom of the periodic table for missing elements. For example, mine was published half an hour after the Big Bang.
