Interactive Periodic Table!

Mendeleev look out! These are directions to see a Periodic Table of Elements that are highlighted and show different sections, isotopes, noble gases, metalloids, and other neat stuff.

Directions: Go to google images, type in Peiodic Table. It should be the 4th one.
Mouse over some of the elements! Very good source. Super cool!

Help

Mr. Wilson,
Can you help me. You ask, "How does the structure of atoms and molecules affect their behavior" I thought this was a little confusing because our red class never got into the discussion of how atoms behave. Can you help to clarify this
