the elements
WebElements- from the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom and created by Mark Winter.  Information on background, physical properties, isotopes, electronic, geological and biological data.  Audio files will let you hear the name of the element. Chemicool- created by David D. Hsu, as a student from MIT.  Extensive data including abundance, reactions, appearance & characteristics. atomic weight, and year of discovery. Chemical Elements.com - begun as an eighth grade science project in 1996 by Yinon Bentor.  You will find basic information along with atomic structure, isotopes, history and related Internet sites.
Chemical Elements Table Infoplease.com has an alphabetical list of the elements in table with the symbol, atomic number, weight, melting point, year of discovery and the name of the discoverer. Click on the name of the element for a brief encyclopedia article which includes a physical description and information on the element's uses and interaction with other elements. Periodic table - chart of all chemical elements - Lenntech, a water purification and air treatment company in the Netherlands
provides excellent information on the individual elements.  In addition to the atomic
number, mass, density, isotopes, etc., there is detailed information
on the element's history, uses, and health and environmental effects.
 
Los Alamos National Laboratory Periodic Table of Elements - designed for students, it provides thee atomic number, symbol and weight, electronic configuration, properties and history of each element.

CHEM4KIDS- very simple information along with wave files and a rebus puzzle for a limited number of elements. Nationmaster.com - a massive central data source that offers a full encyclopedia. The article "Discovery of the chemical elements"lists the elements in order of discovery with links to detailed articles on the individual elements.  The articles cover the 
applications, history, occurence, and precautions and health effects of the element.
 
The Visual Elements Periodic Table - an easy to use site.  There is a description, history, visual, and chemical data for each element at this site from the Royal Society of Chemistry. The Chemical Elements - written by Donal O'Leary, this site offers a listing of the atomic number, discovery, occurrence, preparation, properties, and uses of each element.
