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

Tungsten (W), also known as wolfram, is a rare, extremely hard, dense, and lustrous transition metal with the highest melting point of all elements. It is silvery-white to grayish in appearance and can be drawn into fine wires. Key details about Tungsten (W) are as follows:

Uses: Primarily used for incandescent light bulb filaments (due to its high melting point and ability to withstand high temperatures), in high-speed steel alloys (for cutting tools and drills), as electrodes in welding (tungsten inert gas welding), in X-ray targets, and in wear-resistant coatings.

Production/Extraction: Extracted from wolframite and scheelite ores. China is the world's largest producer. The extraction process is complex and energy-intensive, involving reduction of tungsten oxides with carbon or hydrogen.

History: Discovered in 1781 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele in Sweden. It was named "tungsten" (Swedish for "heavy stone") by Axel Fredrik Cronstedt in 1783. The alternative name "wolfram" comes from the mineral wolframite, derived from German "wolf rahm" (wolf cream), referring to the way it consumed tin during smelting.

Health Effects & Safety: Tungsten metal is relatively non-toxic, but tungsten carbide dust can cause respiratory irritation and "hard metal lung disease" in occupational settings. Some tungsten compounds are toxic.

Price/Market: A high-value metal due to its unique properties and limited supply. Prices are influenced by demand from the steel, electronics, and aerospace industries.

Properties: It has the highest melting point of all metals (3422°C), is extremely dense (19.3 g/cm³), very hard, and has high tensile strength even at high temperatures. It is resistant to corrosion and oxidation.
