#BR PERIODIC TABLE HOW TO#
To learn more about the set you can visit my page about element collecting for a general description and information about how to buy one, or you can see photographs of all the samples from the set displayed on my website in a periodic table layout or with bigger pictures in numerical order. The samples (except gases) weigh about 0.25 grams each, and the whole set comes in a very nice wooden box with a printed periodic table in the lid. At some point their American distributor sold off the remaining stock to a man who is now selling them on eBay. Up until the early 1990's a company in Russia sold a periodic table collection with element samples. Here is the company's version (there is some variation between sets, so the pictures sometimes show different variations of the samples): Or you can see both side-by-side with bigger pictures in numerical order. You can see photographs of all the samples displayed in a periodic table format: my pictures or their pictures. I have two photographs of each sample from the set: One taken by me and one from the company. To learn more about the set you can visit my page about element collecting for a general description or the company's website which includes many photographs and pricing details. Max Whitby, the director of the company, very kindly donated a complete set to the periodic table table.
The Red Green and Blue company in England sells a very nice element collection in several versions.

I chose this sample to represent its element in my Photographic Periodic Table Poster. I received this sample when Tryggvi and Timothy came to my sodium party. A fog or smoke makes things look fuzzy, while with a true colored gas, they look perfectly sharp, just colored. The difference is that in a real colored gas, there is no diffusion of the light, just attenuation. Normally when you see a "gas" that is colored, it's not really a gas but rather tiny droplets of liquid (in fog) or particles (in smoke) that make it look colored or thick. There's a very similar bulb under chlorine, but its color is much, much lighter. I think it's amazing that a gas can be so thick. There is some liquid condensed on the sides of the bulb, but the majority of the color you see is the gas. The deep color of this sample is caused by bromine gas, not liquid. People like to soak in sodium bromide solutions (see first sample). Like chlorine, bromine is a highly reactive halogen, choking and toxic to breath, but entirely harmless when in the form of a salt or dissolved ion. Confined in a glass ampule, it's a thick dark gas, which is quite odd to look at. Technically it's a liquid at room temperature, but if you have it in the open it will evaporate away at a high rate of speed, evolving clouds of reddish purplish vapor. My periodic table poster is now available!īromine is a wonderfully thick, soupy gas/liquid. Facts, pictures, stories about the element Bromine in the Periodic Table
