This template is a wrapper for a number of legends, each called a theme, used in periodic tables. Examples of themes are: block, state of matter. Each theme can have individual settings for that theme, for example to show "unknown".
Usage
[edit]The wrapper itself can have settings:
{{Periodic table legend
|child=yes/no (no: stand alone table; default=yes: inside another table, usually the PT table)
|caption= (text to appear as caption for the legend block)
|style= (set style)
...
|}
All parameters looks like:
{{Periodic table legend
|child=
|caption=
|style=
|theme1=
|text1=
|unknown1=
|border1=
|themeN=
|textN=
|unknownN=
|borderN=
<!-- (N = 1, 2, 3, 4) -->
}}
Example
[edit]{{Periodic table legend
|child=no
|caption=Example legend with three themes
|theme1=block|unknown1=yes
|theme2=State of matter|unknown2=yes
|theme3=Occurrence|unknown3=yes|border3=13
}}
Themes
[edit]The following themes are recognised (note: the caption links are added here for ease)
Block
[edit]|theme1=Block
|predicted1=yes
|unknown1=yes
Occurrence
[edit]|theme1=Occurrence
|unknown1=yes
Primordial From decay Synthetic Undiscovered Border shows natural occurrence of the element
- See {{Periodic table}}
Atomic weight
[edit]|theme1=Atomic weight
|text1=cell-named
|theme2=Atomic weight
|text2=cell-large
- Ca: 40.078 — Abridged value (uncertainty omitted here)[2]
- Po: [209] — mass number of the most stable isotope
- F: 18.998403162±0.000000005 — Standard atomic weight
- C: [12.0096, 12.0116] — Standard atomic weight is an interval
- F: 18.998403162±0.000000005, C: [12.0096, 12.0116] — Abridged value[2]
- Po: [209] — mass number of the most stable isotope
By default named reference {{CIAAW2016}} is added. It can be omitted using |addCIAAW2016=no.
- See {{Periodic table}}, {{Periodic table, 18 columns}}
Valence
[edit]|theme1=Valence
|unknown1=yes
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Unknown Background color shows maximum valence of the chemical element
Metal–nonmetal
[edit]|theme1=Metal–nonmetal
|unknown1=yes
Metal Metalloid Nonmetal Unknown properties Background color shows metal–metalloid–nonmetal trend in the periodic table
Simple substance bonding
[edit]|theme1=Simple substance bonding
Metallic Network covalent Molecular covalent Single atoms Unknown Background color shows bonding of simple substances in the periodic table. If there are several, the most stable allotrope is considered.
Age of discovery
[edit]|theme1=Age of discovery
| Background color shows age of discovery: | ||||||
| Antiquity to 1600 | 1600–1799 | 1800–1849 | 1850–1899 | 1900–1949 | 1950–1999 | Since 2000 |
| (14 elements) Antiquity to 1600: ancient to early modern discoveries |
(27 elements) Discoveries during the Scientific Revolution and the age of enlightenment, part of the gradual rejection of the Aristotelian theory of matter, and Lavoisier's definition of a chemical element |
(19 elements) The chemical and industrial revolutions lead to the standardization of chemical techniques and the development of atomic theory for chemistry |
(23 elements) The age of classifying elements and Mendeleev's periodic table; application of spectrum analysis techniques: Boisbaudran, Bunsen, Crookes, Kirchhoff, and others "hunting emission line signatures" |
(14 elements) Developments in X-ray spectroscopy and radiochemistry allows for many radioactive elements and the final stable elements to be discovered; recognition of the atomic number as defining an element |
(16 elements) Post Manhattan project; synthesis of atomic numbers 98 and above (colliders, bombardment techniques, nuclear reactors) |
(5 elements) Recent synthesis |
Goldschmidt
[edit]|theme1=Goldschmidt
Goldschmidt classification: Lithophile Siderophile Chalcophile Atmophile Trace/Synthetic
Janet left step
[edit]|caption=Janet category compact
|theme1=Janet category compact
| Lanthanide | Actinide | Transition metal | Post-transition metal | Metalloid | Polyatomic nonmetal | Diatomic nonmetal | Noble gas | Alkali metal | Alkaline earth metal | unknown chemical properties | undiscovered |

Theme description text options
[edit]- It is possible to override or suppress the theme description using
|text1=:
|text1=My personal text→ description as entered|text1=(blank) → no description at all|(omitted) → default description ("category metal–nonmetal ragne")
