ALVAREZ CONTRERAS, Denis Gustavo Bernabé  and  CORDOBA, Axel Leonel. Periodic table of elements associated with geology. Rev. iberoam. tecnol. educ. educ. tecnol. [online]. 2021, n.29, pp.79-85. ISSN 1851-0086.

The periodic table of the elements is one of the most important tools in science. Based on some of its more modern versions, a periodic table associated with the geological sciences has been developed, which respects the order of the original table created by the russian Dmitri Mendeléyev in 1869 and has a series of distinctive characteristics with a simple format, facilitating its understanding and use. Based on its geological approach, it has new developments such as images of minerals where the element is naturally found, symbols indicative of artificial and synthetic elements, as well as the main elements in the cortex, mantle and core. In adittion, they highlight the Goldschmidt geochemical classification and the shapes of the elements based on the respective crystalline system, giving a very visual perspective. So were also included different useful tools in the área such as the well- known Bowen series, categorizations of compatible and incompatible elements, typical cases of the Piper and Stiff diagrams. To increase the interaction and understanding between the user and the table, it has external elements (cards) that incorporate augmented reality, making it easier, didactic and entertaining to learn about the atomic structure of the chemical elements in 3D. Simply scan the back of the cards with your cell phone to look at its structure.

Keywords : Periodic table; Geology; Chemical elements; Crystalline system; Goldschmidt classification.
