 Start WebElements

Links

Not too many links, but those that are here I expect you to have browsed before the end of the course.

  • Mark Winter's WebElements. Compendious site based around the periodic table. The pictures you see on the LHS of this website all come from this excellent resource, and the button below each picture will take you directly to the site.
  • The Orbitron, by the same author. Investigate in particular the 5/6/7s, 4/5d, and 4/5f orbitals.
  • Glasgow artist Murray Robertson's  Visual Elements. Another periodic table on the web, science meets art.
  • "It's Elemental", a celebration of the Periodic Table for the 80th anniversary of Chemical and Engineering News in 2003. 89 essays by different authors, many on the elements we will be studying for the course (and a good source of ideas for possible term papers).
