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

Dysprosium (Dy) is a soft, silvery rare earth metal with metallic luster. It has high magnetic susceptibility and is used in applications requiring strong magnetic fields at high temperatures. Key details about Dysprosium (Dy) are as follows:

Uses: Used in neodymium-iron-boron magnets (improves high-temperature performance for electric vehicles and wind turbines), nuclear reactor control rods (excellent neutron absorber), data storage, lasers, and in terfenol-D magnetostrictive alloys.

Production/Extraction: Extracted from monazite and bastnäsite ores. One of the more expensive rare earth elements due to growing demand. China dominates production.

History: Discovered in 1886 by Paul-Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran in France through spectroscopic analysis. Named from Greek "dysprositos" (hard to get) due to difficulty in isolation.

Health Effects & Safety: Low toxicity. No known biological role. Dysprosium compounds should be handled with care. Dust may be flammable.

Price/Market: High price and increasing demand due to critical role in high-performance magnets for clean energy applications. Classified as a critical mineral. Supply concerns due to concentration in China.

Properties: Soft and malleable, high magnetic susceptibility, exhibits +3 oxidation state primarily, excellent neutron absorber, and essential for high-temperature permanent magnets.
