I stumbled on the Dynamic Periodic Table right after I finished my second semester of college biology and chemistry. Life could have been so much easier if I had found it sooner! What I love is how much information it contains and how easy it is to use. It starts with a colour coded layout of the elements of the periodic table, based on which group they belong to and their physical state.
From here you can select what information you want to see. It has different tabs for properties, orbitals and isotopes. The orbitals tab was awesome. When in this tab you can click on an element to see the amount of electrons in each orbital and how they are arranged by using a great 3-D model. Such a wonderful tool for learning orbitals.
There is also a cool feature that breaks the table into the respective groups. When clicked on it opens a link to Wikipedia's definition of those elements and how they collectively respond and react.
This is a great site for first interactions with the periodic table and all the way to the college level. Easy to navigate and no pop-ups or distractions. I love it.
