Interactive Periodic Table — All 118 Elements with Quiz & Compare
The Periodic Table of Elements is the most important reference in chemistry — a systematic arrangement of all 118 known elements organised by atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties. The ToolsCoops Interactive Periodic Table v2 takes this reference further with clickable element cards, quiz mode, element comparison, melting and boiling points, and fun facts for every element.
New in v2 — Quiz Mode
Quiz Mode tests your chemistry knowledge by presenting an element and asking you to identify it from four multiple-choice options. Questions rotate through symbol recognition, name recall, and atomic number identification. Your score is tracked across 10 questions. Click Quiz Mode in the toolbar to start.
New in v2 — Element Comparison
Click Compare Mode, then click any two elements to see them side by side. The comparison shows atomic number, atomic mass, group, period, state, melting point, boiling point, and electron configuration simultaneously — making it easy to spot similarities and differences between elements in the same group or period.
Structure — Groups, Periods, Blocks
- 18 Groups (vertical): Elements in the same group share the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties.
- 7 Periods (horizontal): Each period represents a new electron shell. Properties shift from metallic (left) to nonmetallic (right).
- s-block (Groups 1-2): Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals.
- p-block (Groups 13-18): Includes metalloids, nonmetals, halogens, noble gases.
- d-block (Groups 3-12): Transition Metals.
- f-block (Lanthanides & Actinides): Inner transition metals below the main table.
Element Categories
| Category | Examples | Key Property |
|---|---|---|
| Alkali Metals | Li, Na, K | Highly reactive, react with water |
| Alkaline Earth | Be, Mg, Ca | Less reactive, form 2+ ions |
| Transition Metals | Fe, Cu, Au | Multiple oxidation states, conductors |
| Metalloids | Si, Ge, As | Properties between metals and nonmetals |
| Nonmetals | C, N, O | Poor conductors, essential for life |
| Halogens | F, Cl, Br | Very reactive, form salts with metals |
| Noble Gases | He, Ne, Ar | Inert, full outer shells |
| Actinides | U, Pu, Th | Mostly radioactive, nuclear energy |
