Interactive Periodic Table

All 118 elements in one place. Tap any element for its atomic mass, electron configuration, and common ions.

Switch to heatmaps of atomic radius, electronegativity, and ionization energy, with arrows that show each trend across a period and down a group.

Free, no login, works on any device.

Featured Lessons

Periodic table outline showing the common ion charge for each main group.

Chemistry · Ionic Bonding

Predicting Charge

Count valence electrons, pick the shorter path to 8, and predict the charge of any main-group ion. Includes hints and quick self-checks.

Sodium's valence electron moving to chlorine to form Na+ and a chloride ion.
