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

Berkelium (Bk) is a silvery, radioactive actinide metal. It is relatively rare even among synthetic elements. Key details about Berkelium (Bk) are as follows:

Uses: Primarily used as a target material for producing heavier elements (californium and beyond). No other significant applications due to rarity and radioactivity.

Production/Extraction: Produced by bombarding americium or curium with alpha particles or neutrons in nuclear reactors or particle accelerators. Only produced in milligram quantities.

History: Discovered in 1949 by Glenn T. Seaborg, Stanley G. Thompson, and Albert Ghiorso at UC Berkeley. Named after Berkeley, California, home of the university where it was discovered.

Health Effects & Safety: Highly radioactive. Limited data on toxicity due to scarcity, but assumed to be similar to other actinides. Requires strict containment.

Price/Market: Not commercially available. Produced only for research purposes.

Properties: Radioactive, silvery metallic appearance, most stable isotope Bk-247 has half-life of 1,380 years, melting point around 986°C.
