Description This is another one of those "It's so cool there has to be a widescreen wallpaper of it." Seriously, it is also useful for all the poor souls enjoying chem1, chem2, organic, etc. Not to mention it makes a pretty cool desktop on its own.

The original image of the table came from:

0178120181524.deviantart.com/gallery

I tried several backgrounds and several gradients, but the quality in .jpg wasn't what I wanted and I wanted to keep the size small so I went with a cool pattern from Freeman's black background set:

The remainder of the separation, legend enhancement and shadows are mine.

Enjoy!

Hi,

Thanks for the periodic table. Wish you have made a native 1920x1080 version. However the 1680×1050 still looks OK at 1920.
In my opinion, the blue shadow looks "unnatural", may be a gray shade would be better?

Ache painful memories of science class... (off topic: there was a earthquake during my third period ecology class! not common in canada!) This is actually so awesome that i will print it off and slide it into my binder for next year!

Glad you enjoyed it. I remember long hours spent in Chemistry class in the Heldenfels building at Texas A&M with Professor Hedges going on and on about the 'delicate pink of the Manganous ion'

Man -- the things that stick with your 25 years later...

When I saw this image the first time, I knew it needed a republish as a widescreen wp. Every well rounded geek needs a copy handy. Not to mention it might come in handy for the stray chemistry student in a pinch.

No matter what you do in your education, take as much math as you can and take as much science as you can. Brilliant code comes from those that understand the physical world around them and the processes they are modeling as well as they understand the syntax of their chosen language

.. and to think, I made it through engineering with nothing but an old HP-28S that limited Pi to 12 places..

I like it, it's a keeper!

I'm sure you caught it, but checkout the screenshot for:

Twisted minds, definitely...
