This interactive resource allows learners to explore a broad range of information about the elements and their reactions, properties, structures, and histories. Click on any element to view its description, physical properties, and selected properties of its atomic structure. There are images of each element, and Quicktime videos that show reactions among common elements. Click on "Crystal Structures" to see 3D crystal configurations in Java Applet format. This resource has the added feature of displaying elements in tabs at the top of the web page, enabling learners to compare various elements without toggling among different windows or browser tabs.
Please note that this resource requires Java Applet Plug-in, or Quicktime. Editor's Note: Click on Graph/Table for an especially useful tool. There, various numerical and chemical properties such as thermal conductivity and density can be plotted as a function of atomic number. These graphs make the "periodic" nature of the periodic table much clearer, with the repeating patterns obvious to the eye.

Author: Mary Salit The best part of this site is the ability to plot various chemical and physical properties against atomic number and against each other in the "graphs/tables"section. It allows students to see clear patterns in nature, patterns which demand some kind of explanation in terms of what atoms are actually made of. For this reason, the graphs are an excellent aid to understanding and motivation for the fundamental ideas of modern physics and chemistry. They are probably best used with some teacher guidance, since the interface is not completely self explanatory, but they might make this the most valuable of the several "periodic table" websites cataloged in The Physics Front.
