PSA:

If you have kids and they learn about chemistry / physics, I find the periodic table to be confusing and illogical.

I learnt about matter from a nuclide chart and to me this was 1,000x more intuitive.

It even captures the story of how we are all made of stardust from a star that was here before our sun, before it exploded and later formed our solar system.

Anyone else familiar with this route?

It’s just the number of protons and the number of neutrons on two axis.

It shows every elemental isotope, how it decays and it’s half life.

Periodic Table was always some weird clunky grid to me, it’s a tool for practitioners and not a clear picture of how things actually are.
