Triple Point » Periodic Tables http://pontotriplo.org/triplepoint A selection of posts from Ponto Triplo - a Portuguese blog with links to the best chemistry sites, news and events Sun, 19 Apr 2009 15:14:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 The Best 55 Online Periodic Tableshttp://pontotriplo.org/triplepoint/2007/05/the_best_55_online_periodic_tables.html http://pontotriplo.org/triplepoint/2007/05/the_best_55_online_periodic_tables.html#comments Mon, 14 May 2007 14:52:08 +0000 Jorge Goncalves http://pontotriplo.org/triplepoint/2007/05/the_best_55_online_periodic_tables_.html Since its beginning, Triple Point has a category devoted to Periodic Tables where I write about the best periodic tables on the Internet. The idea of building a ranking like this begun before the hiatus this blog has suffered. I started collecting URLs of some interesting periodic tables and found myself with a huge list of addresses. My plan was to present a top 10 or a top 20 so I started cutting. My selection was based on factors like content, design, originality and usefulness. At the end I’ve got a list of not 10, neither 20 but 55 great online periodic tables!
I’ve selected periodic tables written only in English or Portuguese, so I intentionally left out many periodic tables written in Spanish, German, Chinese or Japanese, for instance. However many ranked periodic tables have versions in several languages.
This is not a final choice. This post will stay permanently open and I expect to update it very often with more high quality periodic tables. More, I would like to hear your suggestions. If you use or know periodic tables that you think should integrate this ranking write to me or leave a comment. Thanks.

According to the author, it is fast, very full-featured, permitting special visualization in attribute graphs and most importantly in table colouring based on element attributes. Definitively, it is worth trying.

A brilliantly done idea of Theodore W. Gray, honoured with the 2002 Ig Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The construction of this periodic table can be followed here. The site contains as plentiful as valuable information. Definitively, it is a pleasure to visit it.

In this site, common applications of some chemical elements (hydrogen, fluorine, silicon, aluminium, titanium and nitrogen) are provided as announcements. As a complement, visitors have the opportunity to see some milestones of Chemistry and to play a game based on the periodic table, in which they can win some interesting prizes.

Another site from Cefic with the same goal: Chemistry and You. The idea is to show the presence of chemistry in our daily life.
