Interactive periodic table

Explore all 118 chemical elements arranged by increasing atomic number—the same symbols used for spelling words with elements and geek science projects. If you want to see names that already work, browse names spelled with chemical elements, or open the Designer to create your own layout. Hover or tap a tile for details and open Periodic Videos for a short film about each element. Color highlights indicate groups; lanthanides and actinides are shown in separate rows.

For a broader view of how often words can be built from periodic symbols, see our element spelling statistics by language. If you are curious about names specifically, read our language-by-language analysis of elementizable names.
