Description
This periodic table fridge magnet puts the whole table of elements on your fridge door, laid out in clear colour-coded tiles on a soft cream ground. Every element from hydrogen to oganesson has its own square with its symbol, atomic number and name, arranged in numbered groups across the top and periods down the side, with the lanthanides and actinides set out in their own rows beneath. A key sorts the tiles into metals and nonmetals, from alkali metals and transition metals to halogens and noble gases, and a panel along the bottom lists the elements by state of matter: gas, liquid, solid or unknown. It measures 8.9cm across, 6.5cm high and just 0.3cm thick.
Slim and light, it sits neatly on a fridge door or any other magnetic surface, such as a filing cabinet or a magnetic noticeboard in a study or home office. Having the full table in a piece small enough to sit in your palm makes it a handy reference to glance at while the kettle boils, and the retro palette of muted greens, yellows, oranges and blues looks cheerful rather than clinical in a kitchen. It looks at home among the notes, lists and photographs that gather on most fridges, and because it is small, it never takes over the door.
It is made from metal, paper and paperboard, with the printed table on the front and a plain black magnetic back, the cream face folded neatly over its edges. As the face is paper, care is simple: dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water and steam. We think it makes a lovely small gift too: at just 0.3cm thick it slips easily into an envelope alongside a card, and once on the fridge it brings a little science to every trip for the milk.

How big is the periodic table fridge magnet?
It measures 8.9cm across and 6.5cm high, and at just 0.3cm thick it sits close to the fridge door without sticking out.
What does the periodic table on the magnet show?
It shows every element from hydrogen to oganesson. Each element has its symbol, atomic number and name, and the tiles are colour-coded by type. The lanthanides and actinides sit in their own rows, and a panel lists the elements by state of matter.
What is the fridge magnet made from?
It is made from metal, paper and paperboard. The printed table is on the front, and the back is a plain black magnetic panel with the cream face folded over its edges.
Will it stick to surfaces other than a fridge?
Yes. As well as a fridge door, it will sit on other magnetic surfaces, such as a metal filing cabinet or a magnetic noticeboard in a study or home office.
How should I keep the magnet clean?
Dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth. The printed face is paper, so keep it away from water and steam to keep the colours looking fresh.
Does it make a good small gift?
We think so. It is small, light and slim enough to slip into an envelope with a card, and the colourful table is a useful and cheerful thing to have on the fridge.
