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

Boron (B) is a metalloid element that appears as a dark, amorphous powder or as extremely hard, black crystalline material. It is essential in many industrial applications and biological processes. Key details about Boron (B) are as follows:

Uses: Used in borosilicate glass (Pyrex), fiberglass insulation, detergents and bleaches (borax, perborate), fertilizers, and high-strength composites for aerospace. Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is used in cancer treatment.

Production/Extraction: Extracted from borax and kernite minerals, primarily from deposits in Turkey, the United States (California), and Argentina. Produced through reduction of boron oxide or electrolysis of molten salts.

History: Discovered independently by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis-Jacques Thénard in France, and Humphry Davy in England, all in 1808. Named from the Arabic "buraq" and Persian "burah" (borax).

Health Effects & Safety: Essential micronutrient for plants and possibly for humans in trace amounts. Boric acid has low toxicity but high doses can be harmful. Boron compounds are used as mild antiseptics.

Price/Market: Relatively abundant and affordable. Turkey controls about 70% of global reserves, making it geopolitically significant for the boron market.

Properties: Exists in multiple allotropic forms, extremely hard (second only to diamond and cubic boron nitride), high melting point (2076°C), semiconductor properties, and forms strong covalent bonds.
