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

Oxygen (O) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless diatomic gas that is essential for most life forms and is the third most abundant element in the universe. It is highly reactive and supports combustion. Key details about Oxygen (O) are as follows:

Uses: Vital for respiration in most living organisms, used in steelmaking and metal fabrication, medical applications (oxygen therapy, ventilators), wastewater treatment, rocket propulsion (liquid oxygen as oxidizer), and welding/cutting (oxy-acetylene).

Production/Extraction: Produced industrially through fractional distillation of liquid air (cryogenic separation). Also generated via pressure swing adsorption (PSA), membrane separation, and electrolysis of water. Makes up 21% of Earth's atmosphere.

History: Discovered independently by Carl Wilhelm Scheele (1772) and Joseph Priestley (1774), though Scheele's work was published later. Antoine Lavoisier named it "oxygen" (Greek for "acid-former") in 1777 and recognized its role in combustion.

Health Effects & Safety: Essential for aerobic respiration, but pure oxygen at high pressures is toxic (oxygen toxicity). Strongly supports combustion, creating fire hazards. Ozone (O₃), an allotrope, is toxic but protects against UV radiation in the stratosphere.

Price/Market: Relatively inexpensive due to atmospheric abundance. Medical-grade and high-purity oxygen command higher prices. Critical for healthcare and industrial sectors.

Properties: Paramagnetic in gaseous form, exists as O₂ (dioxygen) and O₃ (ozone), highly electronegative, forms oxides with almost all elements, and is pale blue in liquid and solid forms.
