Product Description Illustrated Periodic Table Of The Elements – Poster Edition-Motivate your students with real-world visual examples. Provide your students with a concrete visual reference to reinforce the abstract symbols for the chemical elements, with this periodic table, which incorporates a crisp full-colour photograph of each element in an everyday application. For example, copper is characterised as an electromagnetic coil, carbon as coal and diamonds, zinc as a galvanised watering can. For those elements whose applications are not so readily apparent, a photograph typifying the nature and physical state of the element in its pure form, such as a flask of liquid bromine, containers of red and white phosphorous, compressed cylinder and flask of chlorine gas, and Sulfur crystals, is provided. Radioactive elements are identified by the radiation symbol, on which the half-life of the element, printed in red, is superimposed. Additional information provided on the chart includes atomic symbol, atomic number, atomic mass (based on carbon 12 and shown as the mean value of the natural isotope mixture, rounded off to the first decimal place), group number and period. Employs previously adopted IUPAC group nomenclature. Incorporates the 1 through to 18 subgroup nomenclature, adopting the most recent IUPAC recommendations. Student Notebook Edition. An exact replica of the poster size periodic table printed in full-colour on heavy gloss stock. Measuring 28 x 58 cm, the chart is folded in thirds to 21 x 28cm. An interpretative key to the illustrated chart plus reference tables, providing physical data on the elements, ionic and covalent radii are printed on the reverse side. Chart is 3-hole punched to fit standard loose-leaf binders.
