This has (at least) one error: silver is not the most thermally-conductive element (carbon is, as diamond). It is the most thermally-conductive metal.
Only pointing this out because it is not quite a reference source, yet [1].

[1] I'll cite Wikipedia, below (the irony) #ElderMillenial
- nadermx 7mo agoAppreciate this, also put in another link in the footer to "Report an Error" just in-case it does become a reference source. No factor of safety in the periodic table of elements.
- ProllyInfamous 7mo ago...and then he (me) cites <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond>, first paragraph. Thanks for responding well — a neat tool. As second suggestion: this probably looks great on a cell phone, but on a 50" display you've got tons more space for additional elemental facts/tidbits. Perhaps detect monitor size, then keep simple for phones? This could additional put the lanthomides into their correct placement (if window widened enough) [0].

- nadermx 7mo agoAdded something, check now?
- ProllyInfamous 7mo agoI'm not sure what you dun'did, but you made it worse (visually). [•] <https://i.imgur.com/aAnz6w1.png https://i.imgur.com/aAnz6w1.png> Wasn't so cluttered before — the elements were squares (not tallcats). Silver's typo remains.

- ProllyInfamous 7mo ago[•] <https://i.imgur.com/byGGVjd.png https://i.imgur.com/byGGVjd.png> Much prettier. Could easily have larger pop-ups (entire point is to get information on elements, no?) <https://i.imgur.com/IVx5MY5.png https://i.imgur.com/IVx5MY5.png> Heck, even have a link to Wikipedia articles (why not?). You're obviously in the enjoyment of information sharing =D You also have plenty of space for an example element (e.g. describe what each line represents e.g.g: density, atomic mass, proton/element #). The map's "key" if you will... not everybody knows these standardized chemnerd properties (you can then also remove the 120+ "RT" by simply placing in example element @STP, with a link to what that means, too). Just feedback from a fellow dork am.chem.
- nadermx 7mo agoThanks for all the feedback. Added in all your suggestions
- ProllyInfamous 7mo agoI like that you've chosen to use an actual element for the example / explainer. To streamline the UI, might I suggest replacing example element (copper) with just the explainers, next to hydrogen [2]... using that elements information (without adding a free-floating copper). If that doesn't make sense, let me know. Thanks for being a responsive educator. [2] perhaps use Beryllium for your example/explainer -- because then you can explain the electron orbitals too ..? ---- Replace the topbar (color==atomic class) location to between Group II & III elements (e.g. whitespace between Be B); does not need to be explained on example element text.
- nadermx 7mo agocheck now. And thanks, appreciate the praise, was fun making this thing.
