Atomic symbols and names of elements, page 37

Elementymology Introduction
This is THE web site for element names. You will find this site useful not only for the origins (etymology) of element names, but also for translations of each element name into numerous other languages.

A Periodic Table at Los Alamos National Laboratory
This excellent periodic table of the elements was created especially for students. Click on a symbol for everything you need to know about that element. Near the top of the page click on the circular icons for links to some very readable and interesting explanations.

Other Great Sites for Chapter 1

Atomic Structure Timeline
From "atoms and void" of the ancient Greeks to atomic energy in the 1940s, the researchers listed on this web site contributed to our knowledge of the basic structure of matter. Although somewhat advanced, it's a good start for Internet-based research on atomic theory.

Chronology of Atomic Theory
Another good starting point for researching the history of atomic theory, this site was developed with post-secondary students in mind. Some of the information is rather advanced, but you will find excellent illustrated sections on atomic theories and atomic models.

The Discovery of the Electron
This is a great site, with a specific focus on J. J. Thomson's discovery of the electron.

Physics 2000
One of the most extraordinary science sites on the Internet, this includes a periodic table applet that helps you visualize atomic structure. This site's table of contents is very comprehensive, so prepare to spend some time if you visit.
