• Show HN: The Periodic Table of Electron Orbitals

  Ptable renders them with WebGL from the quantum numbers using the Schrodinger equation, wrapping a threshold density of the generated point cloud with a surface. https://ptable.com/#Electrons/HOAO. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• What's this chemical called?

  I was frustrated by the +4 oxidation state as well, but ptable.com says they exist based on the electrons tab. Probably only exists with fluorine, and maybe oxygen, at nonstandard temperature and pressures, but I honestly don't know. Source: about 1 year ago

• Came across this purely by accident. Interactive Periodic Table by PubChem. The entire site is absolutely beautiful.

  Https://ptable.com/ is what I use in my Chem class. Works like a charm. Source: about 1 year ago

• This help with one of my hw questions

  A useful resource can be found here: interactive periodic table At the top of the page click where it says “electrons.” Click on carbon, you can see its orbitals, as well as glean information regarding its electronic configuration. Source: about 1 year ago

• Am I being pranked? I know nothing about chemistry, I'm 14 and I just started learning bit this doesn't seem right

  There's been some updates PTable.com is a great resource. Source: over 1 year ago

• Chemistry HL Question

  The most correct answer is you have to do quantum calculations. In fact if you compare calculated vs empirical values on ptable.com, they differ a lot. There is a lot of math involved just to get an approximate answer so it's hard to distill all that in high school language. Source: over 1 year ago

• Looking for resources regarding the periodic table

  Wikipedia is your friend when it comes to explaining the nature of the table itself. However, if you're looking for a good resource to reference the table itself, check out PTable. Source: over 1 year ago

• Periodic table

  Ptable is good. The Royal Society of Chemistry is good, but frankly, I prefer the RSC iPad (or phone) periodic table. Source: over 1 year ago

• What’s an unpopular teachers opinion you have?

  Some students need so much structure it's absurd. I am about a week away from taking away the trash cans in my one ICS class- it is a priviledge they are about to lose because five giant overgrown boys (high school) cannot manage to a) stay in their seat or b) resist throwing trash to 'make a basket'. I stare the gremlin who tosses the first throw down like death itself and promise that they get book work for a... Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there an automatic "calculator" for molecular orbitals (the drawing with all the orbitals)?

  I think https://ptable.com/ has little figures of the MOs for the elements. Source: over 1 year ago

• Each and every element on the periodic table, with all of their stats for them, are only referring to 1 atom of that element, correct?

  The other counterargument I see, that that information is not relevant in a professional context, is also true, but I don't think that is relevant for OPs question. They are learning now, and many of the periodic tables they will encounter include such information. The first non-Wikipedia site I find, https://ptable.com, includes physical state.

• AP Chem Help!!! (Answers?)

  With both questions, I'd strongly recommend referencing a periodic table, such as one from ptable.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• Should I take AP Chem without ever taking a chemistry class or Algebra II? (Got a 5 on the AP Bio exam)

  3) get yourself a good periodic table to reference that isn't the one in your book. It is a pain to keep flipping back and forth while doing homework. This is one of the best online ones: https://ptable.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• Amino acids found on asteroid by Japanese probe

  We can actually get a pretty good idea from looking at the spectral emissions, at least which environments are likely to be more common. On ptable.com [0] you can compare the abundance of elements in a human to the abundance on Earth, meteors, the solar system, and the universe. It seems like despite an abundance of aluminum, silicon, iron, and titanium, relatively trace amounts are found in humans (a typical... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Can someone link a good periodic table without the lanthanides and actinides removed?

  If you don't need an image use https://ptable.com/ and click "Wide" up the top. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Scientific website for atomic radius values?

  Ptable.com has a set of values: https://ptable.com/#Properties/Radius/Calculated. Source: about 2 years ago

• Searching for consensus on Jungian Cognitive Function definitions

  You will find them all in https://ptable.com. Source: over 2 years ago

• are these minerals based off real names?

  I use ptable.com and have found it way more interesting and helpful than cramming to learn every element by Tuesday for the test in high school. Source: over 2 years ago

• You can control the 4 elements and manipulate them with your own willpower

  There are 118 elements. Controlling them would be much more god-tier. Source: over 2 years ago

• What is the expected trend between mass of Magnesium and the rate of hydrogen gas production when placed in HCL? Linear, exponential, no trend. Thanks.

  Mg has a valence of 2 --- https://ptable.com/#Properties. Source: almost 3 years ago

• What are some properties of elements that you would like to see visualized on a Periodic Table?

  Ptable.com has them all pretty much covered: abundance, density, conductivity, melting points, boiling points, electron affinity, all kinds of radii, hardness, bulk modulus, year discovered, etc. Source: almost 3 years ago
