Cool periodic table!

[n2doc]

In this beautiful, easy-to-read periodic table, created by London-based graphic designer Alison Haigh, each element is represented by a visualization of its electronic structure, rather than by numbers and letters.


The dots each represent electrons—so, hydrogen, which has an atomic number of 1, is the single dot in the upper lefthand corner.

1. Nice! nt

2. If they'd included these graphics with the letters and nos. in the classic version,

maybe I wouldn't have gotten a C in chemistry.

3. lmao!!!

4. Yes, I agree.

That's not a good thing. I got better than a C in chemistry.

7. Well my Chemistry teacher pretty clearly also hated teaching.

I got a great education in public schools, by and large; but Chemistry was a glaring exception. It's hard to imagine how one could have made the subject less interesting.

5. I love this! I think I'll show this to my chemistry students.

Electron configurations can be tough to visualize. This may help.

8. What do you tell them to visualize? n/t

6. This is cute

I may have to find one to put in our lab
