·         http://www.anachem.umu.se: useful site for teaching the periodic table of elements in advanced studies, provides links to other useful sites. (Highly recommended)

·         www.chemicalelements.com: contains the periodic table with details about names, atomic number, mass number, electronic configuration, number of neutrons, m.pt., b.pt., date of discovery, crystal structure.(112 elements!)

·         http://site.ifrance.com/okapi/chemistry.htm: an exciting web site; the cursor is made of tiny balls representing atoms within a clock dial face with the dd/mm/yy revolving round it.  It also contains details about 118 elements, pictures of the elements, their state of occurrence, date of discovery, specific heat capacity, heat of fusion, heat of vapourisation, thermal conductivity, table of most common ions, molar mass, calculation of m.pt and b.pt., virtual titrator, emission / absorption spectra of elements, etc.  A MUST SITE FOR EVERY SCIENCE/CHEMISTRY TEACHER AND STUDENT TO VISIT!

·         http://environmentalchemistry.com:/yogi/periodic/ teaches the periodic table, comprehensive data for each element-up to 40 properties, element names in many languages, most known nuclides of these elements, states such as solid, liquid, gas or synthetic, etc.

·         http://www.dreamwv.com/primer/page/s_pertab.htm: A good resource for teaching the periodic table; contains details of the periodic table featuring atomic number, discoverer and date, atomic weight, electronic configuration, orbital, specific gravity, state of existence, history of the periodic table (Mendeleev’s dream).
