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

Antimony (Sb) is a lustrous, silvery-gray metalloid that is brittle and has poor electrical and thermal conductivity. It has been used since ancient times and exists in multiple allotropic forms. Key details about Antimony (Sb) are as follows:

Uses: Used primarily in flame retardants (antimony trioxide synergist in plastics, textiles), lead-acid batteries (lead-antimony alloys for electrodes), semiconductors (indium antimonide, gallium antimonide), ceramics and glass (fining agent, opacifier), and in certain metal alloys (type metal, bearing alloys, pewter).

Production/Extraction: Extracted from stibnite (antimony sulfide) ore through roasting and reduction, or recovered from lead ores. China dominates global production (>70%). Also recovered from recycling of lead-acid batteries.

History: Known since ancient times; used in cosmetics (kohl eye makeup in ancient Egypt), medicines, and pigments. Alchemical symbol is circle with cross. Symbol Sb from Latin "stibium" (mark or cosmetic). Recognized as an element in medieval times.

Health Effects & Safety: Toxic—antimony and its compounds can cause cardiac, respiratory, and gastrointestinal issues. Chronic exposure leads to lung and skin problems. Antimony trioxide is classified as a possible carcinogen. Historically used (unwisely) in medicine as an emetic. No known biological role.

Price/Market: Moderate pricing; China's dominance creates supply concentration concerns. Flame retardant regulations and battery demand influence markets. Trade restrictions can cause price volatility.

Properties: Brittle and crystalline, poor conductor of heat and electricity, exhibits metallic luster, exists in multiple allotropes (most stable is metallic gray form), expands upon solidification (like bismuth and water), exhibits +3 and +5 oxidation states, and forms amphoteric oxides.
