Article updated on January 24, 2021 by Byothe

If you have done or are doing a little chemistry, you are familiar with Mendeleev's table better known as from the periodic table of elements. This table shows all the known chemical elements, arranged by increasing atomic number and organized according to their electronic configuration and therefore their respective chemical properties... phew!

So, as the definition above implies, this is a bit of a complicated table for the uninitiated!

Fortunately, a site with the sweet name ofElements.Wlonk offers a periodic table of elements that is a little less daunting, ideal for children, those starting chemistry and even completely lost adults (like my ES baccalaureate and me). This very colorful painting takes the format of the classic periodic table, but adds a touch of interactivity as well as images.

Well, I can hear some people in the background, near the radiator, who are going to complain, but this tool is in English and only in English.

For each element, when you hover over it with your mouse you will find lots of information about this element: its name, its atomic number, its chemical symbol, but also an image representing one of its uses, basic information, but understandable by all and finally a description of their group.

Finally, if you want to print it, you can also retrieve it in PDF format ! Nice !

In short, this Periodic Table Elements.Wlonk is really not bad to better understand what the different elements are for and how they are used. And something well understood is always more easily assimilated! So do not hesitate to share this table with all those who struggle with chemistry!
