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

Rhenium (Re) is a rare, silvery-white, lustrous transition metal, extremely dense, and one of the rarest elements in the Earth's crust. It has the third-highest melting point of all elements and is highly resistant to corrosion. Key details about Rhenium (Re) are as follows:

Uses: Primarily used in high-temperature superalloys for jet engine turbine blades (due to its high melting point and resistance to creep), as electrical contacts, in thermocouples for measuring high temperatures, and in catalysts for petroleum refining.

Production/Extraction: It is extremely rare, with an average crustal abundance of only about 1 part per billion. It is primarily obtained as a byproduct of copper and molybdenum mining, as it occurs in trace amounts in molybdenite ore.

History: Discovered in 1925 by Walter Noddack, Ida Tacke, and Otto Berg in Germany. It was the last element with a stable isotope to be discovered and was named after the Rhine River (Latin: Rhenus) in Germany.

Health Effects & Safety: Rhenium metal is relatively non-toxic, but some of its compounds, particularly perrhenates, can be toxic and irritating. It is not known to accumulate in the body.

Price/Market: One of the rarest and most expensive metals, with prices driven by demand from the aerospace and petroleum industries. Supply is limited and dependent on copper and molybdenum production.

Properties: It has the third-highest melting point of all elements (3186°C), is extremely dense (21.02 g/cm³), and is highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation. It is also one of the most expensive metals by weight.
