I'm looking for a version of the periodic table that includes valences (++ charge, - charge, etc), and preferably include how many electrons are in each shell.

This would make my chemistry homework so much easier, and maybe even prevent me from throwing or destroying things. [Smile]

Are you working with the transition elements? Cause the rest are easy.

Would like one with the transistion elements, or at least the more common ones.

I'm getting frustrated because I can't even check my work to see if I'm doing the stuff right, and I detailed table would really help.

You do know how to use the column number to find valence, right?

Some links:
Valence orbitals
Electron configuration of elements 1-18.

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

Rivka: I had already seen those second 2 links, and they really helped me figure out the electron configurations. But the valence-by-column thing only works to a certain point.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Ah, transition metals! Ok. *digs*

Like this?

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

Yes, sort of.

I was hoping to find one in a nice, pretty table. [Wink]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

[Confused]

I don't know about pretty, but that link has a table, doesn't it?

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

Sort of.
It's not in the "periodic table" style form. But I think it'll work.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

sorry to flake out earlier. work is crazed, hope rivka's links work for you.

Does anyone else think that Rivka should've been an engineer?

Dear God, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Just to brag a bit, I own a framed copy of the Periodic Table of Fruits and Nuts.

I should photograph it and show it off some time.

I love it!

Aah! Not only can you still buy the Periodic Table of Fruits and Nuts, but look what else they have!

*dies of excitement*

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

Table of Condiments that Periodically Go Bad
The Periodic Table of Funk
Periodic Table of Candy
Periodic Table of the Elephants

And a whole mess of possibly useful periodic tables

Posted by Shmuel (Member # 7586) on :

Cute. My favorite is still the Wooden Periodic Table Table.

(Note that this isn't what Eruve is looking for.)

I downloaded a cool one for my Palm PDA, but it is on an SD card at home! Sorry!

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

Sweet! I want one!

I want one where the rare-earth elements are add-in leaves for when company comes over.

(edit: I'm talking about the wooden one)

Doesn't your chemistry book have one? Almost every chemistry book I own has one. And more importantly, they generally have anything you'll need to do the problems from the book.

As stand alone ones, I've always been a fan of the ones available here they do seem to be down right now though.

Byt the way, I meant "pretty" as in "well-organised and laid out", because to me, that's pretty. [Wink]

My chemistry book has a periodic table, but I don't like it (partly because it doesn't have as much info on it). My chemistry book is stupid. It has section review questions, and then doesn't answer them anywhere, so I can't find out if I'm doing stuff right! [Mad]

JK- I like that one. [Smile]

It's a little hard to read once I printed it out, but it has the kind of stuff on it that I was looking for.

Annie- I love the Periodic Table of Candy. [Laugh]

Thanks for all your help, guys.

j_k...the copyright information on your scan comes through really clearly...

You might want to take that link out of your post.
