Please take into the note that why this article does not have explanation about modern periodic law.

Please, if possible, edit the Periodic table shown under the contents. In its natural form, Barium is a liquid, not a solid, and its atomic number should therefore be green, not black, which further confuses things. Please next time have a professional chemist go over/write articles related to the elements and chemistry. Please take this under consideration.

We will, when it starts making sense. Meanwhile, read through barium and other related articles. Materialscientist (talk) 03:56, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Barium melts at 727 °C... Double sharp (talk) 03:59, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the editor has confused barium the element with the liquid "barium" you take when having an x-ray examination of your GI tract. Sandbh (talk) 09:23, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The above request makes me think of a really neat novelty PT -- just

But ... other intelligent life of course will have discovered the Elementary Periodicity, and so will have a headache/solution for the suggestion of periodicity in this one. YBG, can you compose a sequence message, to help them out? -DePiep (talk) 16:57, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Such composition skills are pretty weak here in YBG-land -- and the visual arts aren't any better. YBG (talk) 03:40, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No one currently has access to sources for other civilizations' formulations of the periodic table, so they could not be in the article yet. ;-) However, I really like the idea of sliders to adjust temperature and pressure – they let you present melting and boiling points without cluttering the table.

As for "primordialness": H–Mo, Ru–Nd, Sm–Bi, Th, and U must be primordial. These are all stable, or their longest-lived isotope has a half-life comparable to the age of the universe (²⁰⁹Bi, 1 billion times the age of the universe; ²³²Th, approximately the age of the universe; ²³⁸U, about 30% of the age of the universe). The others would depend on how recently their system formed after the supernovae created some of pretty much every nuclide. (If their system is old enough, primordial ²⁴⁴Pu – half-life about 0.6% the age of the universe – might not be present in large enough quantities there to be detected, although it just barely is on Earth!) Double sharp (talk) 13:28, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea how one would go about implementing the sliders ... It would be very difficult to have enough data to support two sliders (temperature and pressure). But a single temp slider would only require two data points (BP+MP) per element. But it would be much easier to have radio buttons for some select locations -- say each of the nine eight planets, the sun, deep space, and maybe a couple of really extreme locations. But then that opens up another wrinkle. Anybody wanna place odds on whether we could decide on the appropriate color for the fourth state of matter in less than 420 days? YBG (talk) 06:41, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All we need are a set of phase diagrams! :-) Naturally, the rare radioactives would get (unknown).

The only primary colour left is blue, so we might as well use that for plasmas. But you would need really high temperatures for that colour to be useful.

Do you want the sun's surface, or the core? The core would make a fairly homogeneous but also not very interesting periodic table. The surface would make everything gaseous (or maybe plasma? I'm not sure) except W and Re which are still liquids – W b.p. 6203 K (5930 °C, 10706 °F), Re b.p. 5903 K (5630 °C, 10166 °F). I mentioned the Fahrenheit values because I'm pretty sure these are some of the only really useful appearances of five-digit Fahrenheit values.

OK, I've really got too much time on my hands. Here's a start at collecting the data. All of the data is ripped off from elsewhere in WP. For the

elemental

data, I stripped off the references and the other extraneous columns. I suspect there are a bunch of errors, so please feel free to correct it.

Re heavenly bodies

I've made some corrections and, to facilitate checking, added extra rows at the end with pseudo-elements whose MP or BP is equal to the each temperature. I verified the "Solid" entries by sorting on MP and then searching for "Solid" so it is highlighted everywhere. Similarly, I verified the "Gas" entries by sorting by BP and searching for "Gas". Try it, you can see how the errors jumped right out! I'm pretty confident the "Solid" and "Gas" entries are all OK. The "Liquid" and unknown ("-") entries still need to be verified.

I have seen no slider at WP working this way. It could be made into a gif animation (one image per planet/sun). Nice to know that Rf is liquid on the sun ;-) . -DePiep (talk) 10:42, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like some of the data here doesn't correspond with the articles – the W article gives boiling point 6203 K, but here it is 5828 K, for example. Double sharp (talk) 01:22, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, I noticed that myself; I decided to ignore the articles and just use the data from

WP:Astronomy. Let them mess with their , and we'll mess with our . YBG (talk) 03:48, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply

And about the slider -- yea, I'm not sure there's a way to have interactive widgets in WP; I think sortable tables is as interactive as it gets (though I suppose editing is pretty interactive). Anyway, I think the best way to do it is to make a version of {{Element cell}} that takes a temperature parameter, then make a version of {{Periodic table}} that also takes a temperature parameter and passes it along to the each individual cell. Finally, make a page that displays multiple versions of the PT. Now if there was just a way to make it so that only one version was showing at a time. YBG (talk) 04:17, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps a gif that shows the periodic table, looping from 0 K to around 6250 K? To be clearer the phase colour can be a background colour, so that the cell size can be reduced even further. Double sharp (talk) 15:27, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please change 1 to 119

Not until another element (probably 119 or 120) has been discovered and the discovery has been reported by reliable sources. Double sharp (talk) 03:40, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To 117.201.23.241: This is a long article. Please identify the exact sentence which you think needs changing. Perhaps Double Sharp did not understand where the change should be made - I certainly do not understand where.Dirac66 (talk) 04:23, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Dirac66: I took what I imagined to be the most plausible interpretation, as the article's usage of "1" is mostly for the group or period, where the number 119 makes even less sense. As an atomic number, as in the lede, it would make some sense. But you're right – this request isn't very clear... Double sharp (talk) 12:10, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

see [1], question by IP: "What is the atomic weight of polonium? Is it (209) or (210) as indicated periodic table?" (copy/pasted here -DePiep (talk) 18:30, 21 February 2015 (UTC))[reply]

Per Isotopes of polonium, 210 is the longest-lived isotope known, but 209 is longest-lived among naturally-occurring ones. What are some wikipedia pages/templates that have the full table (with masses), and what do they say about the meaning of values being in parenthesis?
