Description: information about all the periodic table elements

Source (most of the data) and Source (uses)

Processing: created .csv using the information from the two sources

some foreign characters and removing superfluous sub-sub-genre columns

Columns:

  • Period Number (numerical): row number of the element in the periodic table
  • Name (string): name of the element
  • Symbol (string): letter symbol for the element
  • Atomic Number (numerical): number of protons in the element
  • Atomic Weight (numerical): total weight of the element
  • Melting Point (numerical): melting point in degrees Fahrenheit of the element, for some elements that are not naturally occurring their melting point is not know
  • Boiling Point (numerical): boiling point in degrees Fahrenheit of the element, for some elements their boiling point is not known
  • Density (numerical): density of the element in grams per cubic centimeter, for some elements their density is not known
  • Phase at Room Temperature (string): solid, liquid, or gas, for some elements that are not naturally occurring their phase at room temperature is not known for sure
  • Classification (string): general classification of the element such as metal, non-metal, and semi-element
  • Group (string): more specific classification of the element such as noble gas or rare earth metals
  • Uses (string): common uses of the atoms, some of the element are not found naturally and their only use is in atomic research
