guidelines on how to optimally use a Periodic Table, and current news on elements.)
http://www.chemeddl.org/resources/ptl/index.php (an excellent source from Chemical Education
Digital Library, funded partially by the National Science Foundation, featuring histories, physical properties,
chemical reactions, uses and applications, crystal structures and atomic emission spectra of elements.)

(scholarly website maintained by American Chemical Society, with the link to the Periodic Table Live! featured
on www.chemeddl.org.)
http://education.jlab.org/itselemental/ (a good source managed by the Department of Energy,
featuring histories and uses, some physical properties, origins of elements’ names, proper pronunciation of the

Nick Mann, featuring many colored photos of the elements in their pure forms, compounds containing such
elements, and uses and applications regarding the elements.)

history, uses / applications, photos, chemical and physical properties, links to geology, biology, and physics
aspects of each element.)
