Please, don't use periodic table to visualize anything by elements. For elements it works great and is one of the most beautiful and useful visualization ever created (as it's form is related to fundamental relation between elements).<p>For everything else (unless having a similar structure to elements), it's awful, misleading and pointless. If I see such I am always wondering, is it: a tasteless designer, wannabe data scientist who know no other visualizations, or a science ignorant having no clue why Mendeleev's table is structured in that particular way, or a salesman wanting to give it extra legit and make it sound more fundamental.<p>Just please, don't.<p>Hint: just group things, in their own structure.
The author put some thought into arranging elements according to their relationships, something too often overlooked in 'periodic table of $x$' mash-ups.<p>The more I look, the more I find. I am impressed.
I've seen periodic tables like this in the past that were just, blah...But I still reluctantly clicked through and was amazed. This is beautiful and organized very well. I find myself clicking through various newer HTML5 elements I've never used.
I can't figure out what relationships this is supposed to be showing me, other than the color labeling a particular type of element according to the key on the bottom.<p>Why is it 18 columns wide? Why the asymmetry? What does it mean for an element to be on top of another?<p>I'm clicking around and I'm not seeing it.
That's pretty cute. I was kind of hoping that singletons would be over on the far right in the "noble gases" column, as an analogy to reactivity, or perhaps some other analogy about nesting relationships.
As a biology and genetics grad, I can safely say that I never memorized the periodic table, but this looks like something I can commit to memory! Awesome, awesome work!
The arrangement could be improved in a few places,<p>1. i and em, and b and strong, should be related. They should appear in two column? e.g., i over em, b over strong<p>2. The most common form elements (input, select, textarea, button) should be near the top. select should be directly over option.
