Two years ago: Aromaticity
http://magsci.eu/52gamespt
Whats is aromaticity?
“Widely applied for the characterization of specific
features of conjugated cyclic molecular systems, the
notion of aromaticity lacks a secure physical basis. Not
that this has stopped aromaticity from being a wonderful
source of creative activity in chemistry. We can think of
no other concept that has led to so much exciting
chemistry! Yet, although numerous indices of aromaticity
have been designed, based on energetic, geometrical
and magnetic criteria, no single property exists whose
measurement could be taken as a direct, unequivocal
measure of aromaticity.”R. Hoffmann, V.I. Minkin, B.K. Carpenter, Hyle, Int. J. Philos. Chem. 1997, 3, 3

Why is the PT so relevant?
The Periodic Table is probably the most
compact and meaningful compilation of
knowledge that man has yet devised (*).
Astronomer Harlow Shapley, cited in the preface of “The Periodic, a
Very Short Introduction”, by Eric R. Scerri, Oxford Univ Press, 2011.
(*) PT is an icon very well known by the public, along with Rubik's Cube, indeed.

Characteristics of the Periodic
Table – ideas for games
•Numbers
•Names
•Symbols
•Periodicity
•Form
http://magsci.eu/52gamespt
• Any game with natural numbers can be adapted to element
symbols
• Goose Game
• Parcheese
• Dice
• Bingo
• Rubik's Cube
Others may be imitated:
- Ship game
And of course playing card games
• Periodic Table Playing Cards

118 numbers
• What if we formulate and write molecules and
chemical reactions with numbers?
• 821
• 6,82
• 1216,84
http://magsci.eu/52gamespt
118 numbers: games
• Which atomic numbers are prime?
• Which atomic numbers belong to the Fibonacci
sequence?
• What is your element?
• Others
http://magsci.eu/52gamespt
What is your element?
http://magsci.eu/52gamespt
118 names
Geographical, Planets, People, ...
http://magsci.eu/52gamespt
118 names: games
• Searching names in symbol (2-letter) soups
• Is there any element being able to be written with
symbols? Which is the longest?
http://magsci.eu/52gamespt
Gallium Lutetium Terbium
Europium Strontium Francium
Moscoviu
m
Polonium
Germaniu
m
A trip through the PT
http://magsci.eu/52gamespt
Element Symbols: games
• The train of the PT (concatenating symbols)
http://magsci.eu/52gamespt
118 symbols: tetris
http://magsci.eu/52gamespt
Element symbols: magic squares
http://magsci.eu/52gamespt
Similarity and periodicity: analogy
with the piano
http://magsci.eu/52gamespt
The reasons of periodicity: Janet's PT
http://magsci.eu/52gamespt
http://magsci.eu/52gamespt
