You may print and reproduce these periodic tables for
non-commercial, educational purposes.
One periodic table is in full-color, while the other is
black-and-white.
These periodic tables are designed for exam use, but may be
used for other purposes, too:
- They include both the symbol and the name of the element, as chemistry instructors generally do not require students to memorize this information.
- The division between metals and nonmetals is shown with bold outline (but there are no labels for this – students are expected to know what this represents by the time they take an exam).
- They do not specify group names, electron structure, and other details that students may be expected to learn during a chemistry course.
- The older labeling of groups is used, as this aids students in deducing valence electrons for many elements. The new labeling of groups simply proceeds from left to right, so if you prefer the new labeling, you need only write the numbers in order at the top of the columns.
- Masses are given to the nearest 0.1 g, which is sufficient for most classroom instruction.
- Of course, atomic number is shown.
