The Periodic Table of Elephants

Here's something that isn't just about physics. The periodic table of elements is used
to catalogue all of the known and elements. The elephants are just there for a joke :-)
The goal here is to build up a useful reference source for any who needs it. The original concept of elephants instead of elements came from one of my university lecturers, Dr P H Key. I have just taken it a step further. I am afraid viewers are going to have to use the scroll bars to see all of this. It was a choice of really small text or scrolling. This isn't completely finished yet. I am going to add the Actinide and Lanthanide rare earth metal  series.
You can click on any of the elements and you will get detailed information about it, from the "Web Elements" web site at Sheffield University. Which has a far better periodic table than this one. Their table doesn't have elephants though!

Since the 20th of November 1999, this page has been visited times.
