This is the periodic table used with the California Standardized Test in Chemistry. The back of the table includes equations, constants and other information available to students on the test. This is the table that we use all year long in my classes, so that students will be familiar with it when they take their CST in April.

This table is my own creation. Average molar masses are rounded to two decimal places. The table also includes electronegativity values. Element symbols are color coded (black = solid, red = gas, blue = liquid). Updated through Copernicium on 10/8/2009.

This periodic table (in .png format) was created by WikiMedia Commons user Greg Robson. What is unique is that each element is detailed with the name, symbol and number of electrons in each shell (by actually showing the shells. This is a large file (~ 2 mb) and you will need to zoom in to see the quality of the image once you open it in a browser or graphics program. You may also be interested in the full SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file. As an SVG file, you could have this table printed up to wall-size for your classroom, lecture hall or lab.

This is a more basic table found on WikiMedia Commons and produced by user Armtuk. Element classes and phases are color coded. I've posted this in .pdf format, but this table has a high-resolution full SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file. The SVG file is editable in programs such as Inkscape, and loses no resolution.

This table shows the ions formed by the elements. It also contains an excellent table of polyatomic ions. It is the product of Joel Weiner, who teaches at Evanston Township High School in Evanston, Illinois. Dr. Weiner has generously offered to provide the original, editable Macromedia Freehand file. If you would like the original file, you may contact him at his school email address.

This table is identical to the one to the left, except that it does not show the ions of the representative elements. Dr. Joel Weiner of Evanston Township High School has generously offered to provide the original, editable Macromedia Freehand file. If you would like the original file, you may contact him at his school email address.

(Updated 4/20/2012) Here is a table that was emailed to me several years ago by a gentleman named Nigel. He has updated it to correct a few errors. This is a VERY large pdf file (~8 mb) but it is worth it. This would be suitable for publishing as a professional wall-table.

Nigel has now produced a color version of his periodic table. According to Nigel, this is the product of teaching Chemistry to his daughter. He even had her pick the colors. This include a color key for the common element classes, as well as the phases. As with the black and white version at the left, it is a very large file (~12.5 mb), but suitable for large-scale printing because it will maintain it's resolution.

WOW! A huge thank-you to Mark Brown, who sent me his modification of Nigel's table. This table is so pretty that I kept it at its original resolution. Because of that, this is a BIG (~6mb) file. You can print it as a single page table, or have it printed as a wall size periodic table.

Do you ever wonder what uses there are for all of these elements? I do, and so do my students. BP (British Petroleum) has produced a fantastic periodic table that addresses those questions. You can view a jpeg of the table HERE but to download the (very) high resolution pdf file, you will need to register (for free).

This is a table sent to me by Jon Wittwer, PhD. His stated goal was to "create a table that would pack as much property data onto a single 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper as reasonably possible." I would say he has clearly succeeded! The link will take you to his site where you can access the color or black and white pdf versions of the table.

This is a very basic table that I use in class to have students color-code the element classes in our standards. It has an area for a color key for alkali metals, alkaline earth metal, transition metals, metalloids, nonmetals, halogens and noble gases.

This is a version of my table that is color-coded by element classes, and includes the usual information, but also the atomic radius of each element. Created on 10/8/2009.

This is a version of my table that is color-coded by element classes, and includes the usual information, but also the first ionization energy of each element. Created on 10/8/2009.

This is a version of my table that is color-coded by element classes, and includes the usual information, but also the electronegativity of each element. Created on 10/8/2009.

This is a blank periodic table that I created for use in class. We use it for labeling element classes, metals, nonmetals, s,p,d and f blocks, periodic trends - you get the idea. It contains blocks for all elements up to 118, with the exception of 117.

From the premiere Internet periodic table, the WebElements periodic table. Includes the symbol, name, atomic number and the atomic mass.

A very simple periodic table by S.E. Van Bramer, with symbols, atomic mass, and atomic number.

A periodic table with color, from the folks at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. Includes the usual information, as well as electron configuration, melting point, boiling point, oxidation states, and percent abundance in the universe.

A periodic table in black and white, courtesy of Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. Includes the usual information, as well as electron configuration, melting point, boiling point, oxidation states, and percent abundance in the universe.

The "simple" version of the table from ChemGlobe, this table includes the usual information, plus melting point, boiling point, density and electronegativity. Don't let the appearance fool you, it looks much better in printed form.

The "complex" periodic table from ChemGlobe. This table includes everything that the table on the left includes, plus electron configurations. Don't let the appearance fool you, it looks much better in printed form.

A color table from the maker of a freeware Periodic Table program. Well laid out, it includes group names and phases at 25 ºC.

This is a color periodic table produced by the publisher of our Modern Chemistry textbook. It is beautifully color coded to indicate the class to which each element belongs.

This color table from Jefferson Lab's educational site is ideal for elementary and middle school. It is eye catching, with clever symbols for phases and other properties. To top it off, each element is hyperlinked to reference material on the element at the JLab website, Education.JLab.org.

This is the (mostly) black and white version of the Jefferson Lab periodic table at the left. Not quite as eye-catching as the color version, but definitely cheaper to print. Like the color table, it is hyperlinked to the Jefferson Lab educational site.

Los Alamos Nuclear Lab provides this uniquely colorful table. It has the usual information as well as noble-gas configuration notation for each element. Updated in 2011.

This table is the black and white version of the Los Alamos periodic table at the left. While definitely less appealing visually, it contains all of the same information. Updated in 2011.

This is quite possibly the nicest looking, and one of the most informative of all of the tables I have gathered. It is produced by the Physics Lab at NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology. In addition to a wealth of information on each element, it also contains a table of physical constants. A stunning color scheme completes this fine table.

A good, basic table from the New York Regents. This black and white table includes electron configurations as well as common oxidation states.
