What does this mean??

Question

When was the peak period for the discovery for the elements??

Answer 1

During what perios of time ( like the century) did the most elements get discovered?

Answer 2

It means there was probably some period in time when most of the elements on the periodic table were discovered. My guess would be in the 1700s sometime, but I don't really know for sure.

Update - I've linked to a list of when each element was discovered. From 1735, there are several discoveries made each decade. I'd just say 1735 to the present and print a copy of the list.

Answer 3

Well, if this is a homework question, I'd focus on the words peak period.The question simply means; during what time were most discoveries made.
