Colored boxes with white font present the basic periodic table of elements to your young chemists. All of the basics are included: chemical name, symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, and the number of electrons in each orbital. A brief description of the table is printed above the elements. It also includes a small symbol to identify radioactive, liquid, or gaseous elements.
