The INTERNET Database of Periodic TablesThere are hundreds of periodic tables in web space, but there is only one comprehensive database of periodic tables & periodic system formulations. If you know of an interesting periodic table that is missing, please contact the database curator: Dr Mark R Leach.
The 10 Best Periodic Tables:
2013 Top 10 Periodic TablesThere are more than 1000 periodic tables hosted by the Chemogenesis Webbook Periodic Table database, so it can be a little difficult to find the exceptional ones. Here we present – in our humble opinion – The ten most significant periodic tables in the database. We present the best:
Three Excellent, Data Rich Periodic TablesThe first three of our top 10 periodic tables are classic element data repositories. They all work in the same way: click on the element symbol to get data/information about the selected element. The three are Mark Winter's WebElements, Theo Gray's Photographic Periodic Table & Michael Dayah's Ptable.
Five Formulations Showing The History & DevelopmentThe next five examples deal with history and development Periodic Table. The first is Dalton's 1808 list of elements, next is Mendeleev's 1869 Tabelle I, then Werner's remarkably modern looking 1905 formulation. This is followed by Janet's Left Step formulation and then a discussion of how and why the commonly used medium form PT formulation, is constructed.
An Alternative FormulationThe internet database contains many, many alternative formulations, and these are often spiral and/or three dimensional. These exemplified by the 1965 Alexander DeskTopper Arrangement. To see the variety of formulations available, check out the Spiral & Helical and 3-Dimensional formulations in the database: Non-Chemistry PTsThe periodic table as a motif is a useful and commonly used infographic template for arranging many types of object with, from 50 to 150 members. There are numerous examples in the Non-Chemistry section where dozens of completely random representations can be found:
