How to Use The Periodic Table.

The Periodic Table shows all the elements.
Metals are in brown (or pink for transition metals).
Non-metals are in blue.

The Periodic Table gives the chemical symbols for the elements.
If you don't know the chemical symbol,
there is a link to all the chemical symbols on the page.

Above the chemical symbol is the relative atomic mass in green.
Below the chemical symbol is the atomic number or proton number in red.

Clicking on an element takes you to the index page for that element.
If clicking on an element does not work,
then you do not need to know about it.

The index page for the element
gives links to all the information about that element on the site.
Reactions involving the element are listed under "Reaction with".

Compounds of the element are listed at the end of the index page in red.
These may also have a "Reaction with" section.

You can also get to the page for the element
through the main index.
Elements are listed in yellow.
