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

Tin (Sn) is a soft, silvery-white, malleable post-transition metal that resists corrosion. It has been used by humans since the Bronze Age and is one of the earliest metals known. Key details about Tin (Sn) are as follows:

Uses: Used in solder (tin-lead and lead-free alloys for electronics), tin plating (corrosion-resistant coating for steel "tin cans"), bronze and other alloys (bell metal, pewter), float glass production (molten tin bath creates flat glass), and as tin compounds in PVC stabilizers and flame retardants.

Production/Extraction: Extracted from cassiterite (tin oxide) ore through smelting. Major producers include China, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Peru. Also recovered through recycling (especially from solder).

History: Used since the Bronze Age (3000 BCE) when alloyed with copper to make bronze, revolutionizing tools and weapons. Symbol Sn from Latin "stannum." Name from Anglo-Saxon "tin." Ancient tin trade routes shaped early civilizations.

Health Effects & Safety: Metallic tin and inorganic tin compounds have low toxicity. Some organotin compounds (tributyltin) are highly toxic and environmental pollutants (banned as antifouling paint). Tin is not considered essential for human health but may have minor biological role.

Price/Market: Moderate pricing; traded on London Metal Exchange (LME). Price influenced by electronics demand (solder) and packaging industry. Conflict minerals concerns in some producing regions.

Properties: Soft and ductile, low melting point (232°C), resistant to corrosion (forms protective oxide), exhibits two allotropes (white tin/beta tin is metallic and stable at room temperature; gray tin/alpha tin is brittle and forms below 13°C, "tin pest"), emits "tin cry" when bent, and exhibits +2 and +4 oxidation states.
