Came here to say it. Ptable is godly.

Checking it for the first time now. It is horrible, chaotic.

For real. It wastes too much space with useless info (% in universe, physical state) and buries or sometimes straight doesn't even include basic chemistry-related information like nuclei radius and electronic configuration.

Periodic tables were literally designed to be as straightforward as possible and this site decided to follow through the opposite.

I suppose it's only famous because it's easy as shit to type and hit enter (ptable)

It used to be really good, but they just kept on cluttering it over the years

It’s a shame what happened to it

Exactly. Horrible design, also the one in this post is exactly the same.

Just checking it out for the first time too. It is somewhere between horrible and godly.

Depending on which side of a god you're on, it could be great or horrible. Godly nonetheless.

Neyet! All my classmates use ptable. I hate the interface though personally. Pubchem is where it at.

It's silly how it only shows the state for a brief time while changing the temperatures.

I got some sweet swag for supporting that site, like a giant periodic table poster that I had framed, and a tiny wallet-sized one which has got to be the nerdiest thing ever to keep in your pocket!!

I was just about to say! This website was the most used for me in my undergraduate degree

It's just too cluttered, but the information in there is golden!

This one is literally far superior to the one OP posted

Damn I’ve never seen a URL with 4 subdomains before.

And I thought my high school with 3 subdomains was crazy

Schools in the US often use an eTLD, "effective top level domain", which, although they have multiple levels, they are used as though they were a TLD like .com. The eTLD for schools is k12.{state}.us.

So if they use a www subdomain for their website, you can have lots of dots. I like these domains though, because they are generally unspoofable. You know for sure it's a real school domain if you see it.

Mozilla maintains the de facto authoritative list of these domains in a document called the Public Suffix List. That document has a real effect on how the Internet treats those domains.

i really like the different grouping and display options

I took a year off from work and took a few chemistry classes at my community college last year and also stumbled upon this periodic table. It was so incredibly useful. It has everything you'd ever need!

Everyone should be able to do that! I'm studying political science and sociology right now and am enjoying it so much!

Maybe with automation and clever policy-making we can clear a path for something like this.

I had a great periodic table on my wall in college. One spring break I took care of a friend's Caique during Spring break. By the time she returned my periodic table had been reduced to Hydrogen.

Lots of good stuff posted here but personal favorite is the periodic table of videos periodic table of videos

They have a little 5-10 minute video about pretty much every element. Great way to know a little more than just the atomic number and mass.

This feels a little crazy, but I've never heard of the noble gas Oganesson. Is it something new?

Additional-Pickle-60 t1_j7mvg2i wrote

I’m not completely sure what you mean but oganesson is the newest element on the periodic table, added in 2002 I believe.

Thankyou very much, nice to see a site that just works with no chaff.

Yeah this helped me a fair bit last semester, thanks for reminding me about it, especially since I’m currently in a harder chem class.

I looked it up. You are so lucky having such learning resources. When I was learning chemistry the periodic table was just a poster on the wall. Thanks for pointing this out, I will wander around it!

It says carbon has been known since ancient times. What does this mean? How did people know of it? I'm guessing they knew how it affected things?

Belzedar136 t1_j7n8dmt wrote

Well like with steel smelting. You need to add carbon to the iron making g process and they knew you needed charcoal and coal to get that going which is where I assume this comes from ?

If you have wallpaper engine from steam. You can download and apply interactive periodic table as desktop wallpaper.
