Description: This website developed by the Faculty of Chemical Technology in Croatia provides an interactive Periodic Table of Elements. Students and educators can find information dealing with each element's discovery history, thermal properties, ionization energy, minerals and use, isotopes, and reduction potentials. Besides the standard periodic table, this easily navigable website features an online remote control where visitors can quickly obtain information about the chemical either by name or symbol and definitions to chemical terms.

This web site provides an interactive periodic table that describes the characteristics and properties of the elements. Users click on an element in the table to learn about the element's history, sources, and cost as well as its physical and chemical properties. Icons direct users to information about how the periodic table was developed, how to read and use the periodic table, and how elements are named. In addition, the site provides links to the site's provider, the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Abstracted 08/04. (Author/JG). Copyright 2005 Eisenhower National Clearinghouse (ENC).
