The Elements Card Deck

By: Theodore Gray


Take a closer look at the periodic table with 118 element cards featuring the stunning photographs from Theodore Gray’s bestselling book The Elements. The front of each card displays a beautiful photograph and the element’s name, symbol, number, and atomic weight. The back lists the element’s density, melting point, boiling point, electronegativity, electron configuration, historical information, a fun fact, atomic radius, crystal structure, as well as the element’s abundance in the universe, Earth’s crust, oceans, and in humans. Instructional cards explain the layout of each card and give background information about different periodic table arrangements. There is even a card that groups elements based on various properties such as abundance percentages, electronegativity, melting point, boiling point, density, and atomic radius. Use these versatile and engaging element cards as a classroom reference, assemble to create a 7' periodic table, fan them out to show electron orbitals filling up, sort according to periodic trends—the possibilities are endless! 125 cards, 5" x 5".
