PERIODIC TABLE
The Periodic Table on Videos
These are small video clips illustrating each of the 118 elements. Besides the usual fact about each element (such as atomic number), each video has interesting stories behind each element and experiments to showcase its physical and chemical properties. If you haven’t checked out these, maybe you should. It would be helpful for an introductory chemistry course
