Perfect for classroom use, this attractively designed poster encourages students to look at and think about the chemical elements. The unique, color-coded layout allows more than 3,000 element data to be displayed on the chart -- much more than is possible on any standard periodic table. The upper panel shows the physical characteristics of the elements and their important isotopes, while the lower panel contains chemical, biological and geological data. More than 20 different characteristics are displayed for each element, including the first data on the recently discovered, as yet unnamed, heavy elements 112 to 118. All the data has been painstakingly compiled from international standards and recommendations by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, is 100 % error-free and conforms to the latest published information. A miniature database of chemical and physical information; handy for studying, teaching, and research.
