The Interactive Periodic Table of Elements that depicts the functions and practical uses of all the 118 elements

Most of us must have experienced some difficulty in memorizing the periodic table during our school and college days. And when it comes to knowing the function and practical uses of each and every element, it will be a nightmare. Whether the commonly known elements like Oxygen, Hydrogen, Carbon or obscure elements like Rhenium, Technitium, Antimony, do you know their functions or practical applications? What if you can now know at least one example for every element, isn't it a pretty good idea? 

Fortunately, Keith Enevoldsen from elements.wlonk.com has done all the homework for us and came up with a new form of a periodic table that comprises the function or an example of all the 118 elements. 

In the periodic table, there is 

• Argon that is used in light bulbs, also a Noble gas. 
• Titanium is used in aerospace. 
• Chromium is used in making stainless steel.
• Cobalt is used in the manufacture of magnetic, wear-resistant and high-strength alloys.
• Nickel is used in making currency coins.
• Galium is used in manufacturing Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
• Germanium is a semiconductor in its pure form. Hence used in the manufacturing of transistors, diodes and rectifiers.
• Krypton is used in flashlights as they produce the brighter light that has a bluer hue.
• Rubidium is used in global navigation and to control the frequency of television stations, cell phone base stations.
• Thulium is used for laser eye surgery.
• Americium, we use in smoke detectors. Americium is the third synthetic transuranic element and the fourth to be discovered till date
