What is the Interactive Periodic Table?

The Interactive Periodic Table is a free, modern web application that displays all 118 elements with detailed properties, 3D Bohr model visualizations, crystal structure renderings, and text-to-speech pronunciation. It works on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

What information is available for each element?

Each element page includes atomic number, atomic mass, electron configuration, physical properties (density, melting and boiling points, state of matter), chemical properties (electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity), an interactive 3D Bohr model, 3D crystal structure, and an AI-generated educational summary.

Can I use this periodic table for teaching?

Yes. The Interactive Periodic Table includes a full-screen mode designed for projectors and classroom presentations. All content is educational and completely free to use without registration.

Does it work on mobile devices?

Yes. The web app is fully responsive and also available as native iOS and Android apps that can be downloaded from the app stores.

What are the 3D visualizations?

Each element features an interactive 3D Bohr model showing electron shells orbiting the nucleus, and a 3D crystal structure rendering showing the element's atomic arrangement. Both are powered by Three.js and React Three Fiber.

Is this periodic table free?

Yes, the Interactive Periodic Table is completely free with no registration, no ads, and no data collection required.

How many elements are included?

All 118 confirmed elements from Hydrogen (H, atomic number 1) through Oganesson (Og, atomic number 118) are included with full data and visualizations.

Can I hear how element names are pronounced?

Yes. The text-to-speech feature allows you to hear the correct pronunciation of any element name. This works on both the web version and native mobile apps.

Brief Introduction

Gold (Au) is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements and is solid under standard conditions. Key details about Gold (Au) are as follows:

Uses: Used in jewelry (approx. 50% of consumption), investment (bullion, coins), electronics (corrosion-free connectors), dentistry, and aerospace (radiation shielding). Nanoparticulate gold is used in medicine and research.

Production/Extraction: Extracted from gold ores (native gold, electrum) via cyanidation or other leaching processes. China, Australia, Russia, and the U.S. are major producers. Recycling accounts for a significant portion of supply.

History: Known and highly valued since prehistoric times. Played a central role in human history, currency, and culture. Symbol Au from Latin "aurum" (shining dawn).

Health Effects & Safety: Non-toxic and biologically inert in metallic form (edible gold leaf). Soluble gold compounds can be toxic to the liver and kidneys. Used historically in medicine (chrysotherapy) for rheumatoid arthritis.

Price/Market: The primary global store of value and hedge against inflation. Price fixed daily by London markets. Central banks hold significant reserves. Demand is cultural, industrial, and financial.

Properties: Most malleable and ductile of all metals (1 gram can be beaten into 1 square meter), excellent electrical and thermal conductor, highly reflective of infrared, does not tarnish or corrode, and exhibits +1 and +3 oxidation states.
