The
Pictorial Periodic Table
"This website is an interactive periodic table with a comprehensive
database of element properties, which can be searched and collated in novel and
useful ways. Pictures of elements and compounds are being taken and collected
into the database. Periodic table art, music and educational games are
available. A huge listing of other periodic tables on the internet is on this
website, sorted and annotated...Nuclear chemistry buffs will find information
on over 2600 isotopes of the elements. Radioactive decay can be illustrated for
most unstable nuclides."
