Periodic table game
Learning the periodic table is easier in short bursts. Element Rush turns it into quick rounds: see the name and pick the symbol, see the symbol and pick the name, tap where an element sits on the table, or name its family.
Every element has an Explore card with what it looks like, where you meet it in everyday life, its electron arrangement and how it got its name. Start with the first 54 elements, then unlock all 118.
