Cesium-133, let it be. Cesium-134, let it be even more.
Periodic Table Regions [Explained]
Transcript
[A periodic table with regions labeled.]
[Hydrogen:] Slightly fancy protons
[Lithium and Beryllium:] Weird dirt
[Group 1 & 2 metals, Periods 3-4:] Regular dirt
[Group 1 & 2 metals, Periods 5-7:] Ends in a number, let it slumber ends in a letter, not much better
[Left side of the transition metals group:] Boring alloy metals Probably critical to the spark plug industry or something (but one of them is radioactive so stay on your toes)
[Most of the top row of the transition metals + aluminum:] Regular metals
[Below the rightmost "regular metals" - the "ordinary metals" and some transition metals:] Weird metals
[The platinum group:] $$$$
[Boron:] Boron (fool's carbon)
[Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Phosphorus:] You are here
[The Halogens:] Safety goggles required
[Noble Gases:] Lawful neutral
[Iodine and Radon:] Very specific health problems
[Ordinary metals and metalloids - Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, Thallium, Lead, Bismuth, Polonium] Murder weapons
[Astatine and Period 7 from Rutherfordium onwards:] Don't bother learning their names - they're not staying long
[Lanthanides and Actinides:] Whoever figures out a better way to fit these up there gets the next Nobel Prize
Happy Valentine's Day!! Have you ever looked at the periodic table and thought, "This would make a great dating game"?? No???
Take a [quiz] to find out which element you are, and see which elements you can bond with! I made a TON of illustrations for this Doodle. Let me know your otp.
it’s always why the fuck did you make a periodic table blanket what’s wrong with you and never how was the periodic table blanket was it fun being crushed by your own creation
Table of the Elements in an Irregular Spiral. 1940s.
"Rainbow-colored periodic table of the elements designed in the style of an irregular spiral. Per text accompanying the table, the colors and construction of the table are designed to express the relationship among elements in terms of the repetition of certain chemical properties, with elements whose chemistry is almost identical grouped together in blocks or connected by solid arrows. Additionally, all related elements are represented with different shades of the same color."
Mendeleev was a Russian chemist and inventor. He is best known for formulating the Periodic Law and creating a version of the periodic table of elements.
Shown here is a rainbow-colored periodic table in the style of a spiral with different sizes of revolutions designed by J.F. Hyde of the Dow Corning Corporation.

Some of my favorite of the bond illustrations, plus the full version of the completion reward illo, and some little concept sketches. Thanks everyone who played our Chemistry CuPd game! It's up in the [archive] if you ever want to check it out.
