|
| Chemical Elements--Excellent chart containing the symbol, atomic number, atomic weight, specific gravity, melting point, boiling point, number of isotopes, discoverer and year discovered for each element. |
| Chemical Periodic Table--Search and learn about the basic elements - SEARCHABLE by element name or symbol |
| The Elements, By Tom Lehrer--Lehrer's classic recording from the hosts of the Pictorial Periodic Table. Includes the lyrics (so you can sing along...) and the recording in QuickTime format. My favorite however, is the song in motion. |
| The Elements--Chart showing the symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, melting point, boiling point, and density of each element. |
| Element Games--A collection of games and materials based on the Periodic Table of Elements designed to help you learn the names and symbols of the elements. Chemical Elements And Their Symbols--Learn the elements and their symbols through matching, concentration, flash card, and word search games. |
| Environmental Chemistry--Comprehensive data on elements including scores of properties, element names in many languages and most known nuclides is provided by this periodic table. Data can be sorted in many different ways for comparisons. Has great diagrams! |
| History Of The Periodic Table--Historical information regarding a man named Dmitri Mendeleev, who created the first Periodic Table of the Elements. |
| How To Read The Periodic Table--A simple explanation on how to read the Periodic Table. At the bottom are some fun websites for memory games relating to symbols and names. |
| List Of Elements--Lists 18 elements and tells about each and how they are used to form the rest of the elements on the Periodic Table. |
| Los Alamos National Laboratory--One of the better tables available on the internet. Additional links at the bottom feature how to use the periodic chart, how new elements are named, Mendeleev's original periodic table and chemistry basics. |
| **Periodic Table--I have starred this site because it not only gives all the necessary information you are looking for on your element, but also includes the freezing point which seems hard to find at times. |
| Periodic Table--An interactive Periodic Table of the Elements; Choose any element to get basic chemical statistics such as density or atomic mass, plus historical information about its discovery. |
