Web Elements is an amazing interactive periodic table database. You can get atomic radii, electrochemical reduction potentials, chemical properties and much much more just by clicking on an element. Trends are displayed graphically (Sheffield site only) -- a really powerful tool. Several mirror sites are available. You can try any of these below, but start with the ones that are closest for fastest service. The one at Sheffield is very recent and mega-cool, but links to the UK will tend to be slow during the day (but try it if you get a chance).
