Frequently Asked Questions
How many elements are in the periodic table?
The complete periodic table contains 118 confirmed elements. Our interactive table currently displays the first 36 elements (Hydrogen through Krypton) with complete property data. These 36 elements cover the first four periods and include all major element categories.
What information does each element show?
Each element square in the grid displays the chemical symbol and atomic number. Clicking an element opens a detailed modal showing: element name, symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, element category, group number, period number, electron configuration, electronegativity, melting point, boiling point, density, and year of discovery.
How do I search for elements?
Use the search bar at the top of the page. You can search by element name (e.g., 'Iron'), chemical symbol (e.g., 'Fe'), or atomic number (e.g., '26'). The search filters in real time, showing only matching elements. Clear the search field to return to the full table view.
What do the colors mean?
Each color represents a different element category: red for alkali metals, light red/orange for alkaline earth metals, gold for transition metals, light green for post-transition metals, light blue for metalloids, green for nonmetals, light purple for halogens, and light gray-blue for noble gases.
