Periodic Table Poster

MagicJigPipe - 15-9-2010 at 22:11

I'm looking for a decent quality periodic table poster. It must include (along with precise atomic weights i.e. H = 1.00794 NOT 1.008) oxidation states, electron configuration (shorthand is okay), electronegativity and atomic radius.

If possible (not necessary but cool) maybe it could contain various things like isotope distribution, decay paths etc...

Basically, it needs to be large and have as much info as possible on it.

I cannot seem to locate one of sufficient quality.

Does anyone here know of one?

I've had a look around, and found that the best option was to make your own o.o'

Of course, if you had a very large HD TV screen, or a committed video projector.......You would only need the high resolution image of such a table.

Then, at times when your periodic table was un-needed, you could amuse yourself by watching excerpts from either the "Ten Commandments" or "Betty Boop meets Big John Holmes".

Could also create your own giant poster, one element per page (or per 1/2 page) via your computer printer. Thereafter, you could holster them in vinyl page protectors, ziplock bags, or whatever........And, staple, glue, or otherwise attach 'em to a wall or panel.

The last time, I had a big old custom poster produced for one of my classes, it cost me a bundle of money. Most of it wasted. After a few uses, I got in a big old dispute with a chicken-shit administrator, and quit my teaching job. Took all of my fancy, self-paid-for, props with me.

I had one from Flinn Scientific that had a reasonable bit of data on it.

I've never seen one that's got semi-encyclopedic information on it.

These are all great ideas. I might go for the rasterbator thing, that looks pretty cool.
