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

Carbon (C) is a fundamental nonmetal element that exists in multiple allotropic forms and is the basis of all known life. It forms more compounds than any other element except hydrogen. Key details about Carbon (C) are as follows:

Uses: Forms diamonds (cutting tools, jewelry), graphite (lubricants, pencils, electrodes), carbon fibers (composites), activated charcoal (filtration, medicine), carbon black (tires, inks), and as the foundation of organic chemistry and biochemistry.

Production/Extraction: Exists naturally as coal, petroleum, natural gas, graphite, and diamonds. Synthetic diamonds produced via high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Graphene and carbon nanotubes synthesized for advanced applications.

History: Known since prehistoric times as charcoal, soot, and coal. Recognized as an element by Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. Named from Latin "carbo" meaning coal or charcoal. Diamond and graphite proven to be carbon allotropes in the late 18th century.

Health Effects & Safety: Elemental carbon is generally non-toxic. Carbon monoxide is deadly, carbon dioxide is an asphyxiant, and fine carbon particles can cause respiratory issues. Essential for all life forms.

Price/Market: Varies enormously by form—coal is cheap and abundant, graphite has moderate value, while diamonds and advanced carbon materials (graphene, nanotubes) command premium prices.

Properties: Four valence electrons allow versatile bonding, forms covalent chains and rings, diamond is the hardest natural material, graphite is slippery and conductive, exists in multiple allotropes (diamond, graphite, fullerenes, graphene, nanotubes).
