The color periodic table shows every element with its atomic number, symbol, name and standard atomic mass. Ten pastel colors mark the element families — alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, post-transition metals, metalloids, reactive nonmetals, halogens, noble gases, lanthanides and actinides — with a legend and a key cell explaining what each number means.

The version with charges adds the most common ion charges in the top-right corner of each cell, which is what chemistry students need for writing formulas and naming ionic compounds. The blank periodic table keeps the layout and atomic numbers only, so students can fill in the symbols — on paper or on screen, as each cell is a form field.

Group numbers (1-18) and periods (1-7) are printed along the edges. One landscape page, US Letter or A4.
