IQS Periodic Table

Starting in 2013, I've been developing a periodic table for IQS oriented toward High School and General Chemistry students. In doing so, I have taken into account some of insights the chemistry education research community is providing about different aspects of chemistry learning.

The major features of this table are:

• 1. Separating the macroscopic properties of the elements (as elementary substances) from the submicroscopic ones (elements as atoms).

  2. Using the most updated figures I'm able to find for the different properties, placing the maximum respect on what is known and what is not known.

  3. Including the most relevant properties for learning chemistry at this introductory level and avoiding to add more complex information.

  4. Using a coherent set of units (mostly those from SI) and including oxidation states that map with the compounds more commonly presented at this level.

  5. Adding "human element" aspects by indicating some of the uses of the elements.

  6. Providing some multilingual support: the names of the elements are included in three different languages.

This periodic table is available in Catalan, Spanish and English. Images and non-printable PDF files can be accessed below.
