Inorganic chemistry begins with the periodic table's own geometry: properties don't scatter randomly across the elements, they march in predictable trends set by effective nuclear charge. This simulation renders elements 1 through 36 — periods 1–4, including the first row of transition metals — as a 3D bar field where height and color both encode a chosen property. Switch between atomic radius, first ionization energy and Pauling electronegativity to watch the same underlying physics produce three different but related shapes: radius falls and IE/EN rise as you move left to right across a period, then radius jumps and IE/EN drop again at the start of the next period down. Click any bar for its exact value, or isolate one period with the highlight slider to read its trend in isolation.

⚙ Under the hood

This simulation explores the core concepts of inorganic chemistry, focusing on the properties and reactions of elements and compounds beyond organic chemistry. It demonstrates key chemical principles.
