How to Use the Generator
Customize a periodic table with only the information you want to display, and then print it to distribute to your students or use for you own reference.
Select the information you wish to display on the form below, and then click the "Generate Table" button to see you table. Please be aware that not all of the properties are available for all elements (such as melting and boiling points for undiscovered elements).
IMPORTANT PRINTING INFORMATION! To print your table, make sure the File-->Page Setup options are set for "landscape" orientation printing, and that the margins are set to 0.5 inches. For optimum quality (due to the small size of the text), you should print your table using a good laser printer. Also, if you want to clean up the page, you can remove the headers and footers on the same File-->Page Setup window where you changed the page orientation.
The key on the printed page updates to only include properties that you have selected. When choosing melting/boiling points or atomic/ionic radii, you can choose display only one pair or the other due to limitations on space in each block.
