Periodic table & electronic configuration

Periodic table & electronic configuration

(0)
When I was teaching chemistry, we bought an 'interactive periodic table" which turned out to comprise laminated printed sheets of the first 22 elements with their electronic configurations, and some blue tac. This is my response to that. CLICK ON AN ELEMENT AND THE ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION IS RETURNED. This compliments my drag & drop version. Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my interactive resources are mini-web sites local to your computer. After unzipping, they comprise a folder containing the main .html file and another folder containing the graphic resources and my coding to make the resource work. Double click on the .html file and the resource will work. If, however , you move or delete any of the files from this hierarchy, the resource will not work.
