FAQ

How many elements are in the periodic table?

As of 2026, the periodic table contains 118 confirmed chemical elements, ranging from hydrogen (atomic number 1) to oganesson (atomic number 118). Elements 1–94 occur naturally, while elements 95–118 have been synthesized in laboratories.

What do the colors mean?

Each color represents a different category of elements: alkali metals (red), alkaline earth metals (orange), transition metals (yellow), post-transition metals (green), metalloids (teal), nonmetals (blue), halogens (purple), noble gases (pink), lanthanides (brown), and actinides (dark brown).

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, completely free. No registration, no ads, no limits. All data is loaded and processed in your browser.

Can I use this for educational purposes?

Absolutely. This periodic table is designed for students, teachers, chemists, and anyone interested in exploring the elements. Feel free to use it for homework, research, or classroom presentations.

How accurate is the element data?

All data is sourced from IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) and NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) standards. Atomic masses use the standard atomic weights, and properties are regularly verified against authoritative chemistry references.
