Periodic Table Poster
I'm looking for a decent quality periodic table poster. It must include (along with precise atomic weights i.e. H = 1.00794 NOT 1.008) oxidation
states, electron configuration (shorthand is okay), electronegativity and atomic radius.
If possible (not necessary but cool) maybe it could contain various things like isotope distribution, decay paths etc...
Basically, it needs to be large and have as much info as possible on it.
I cannot seem to locate one of sufficient quality.
Does anyone here know of one?
"There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry ... There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any
question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors. ... We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it and
that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. And we know that as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think,
free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress." -J. Robert Oppenheimer

I've had a look around, and found that the best option was to make your own o.o'
“If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found
the object of his search.
I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor.”

Of course, if you had a very large HD TV screen, or a committed video projector.......You would only need the high resolution image of such a table.
Then, at times when your periodic table was un-needed, you could amuse yourself by watching excerpts from either the "Ten Commandments" or "Betty Boop
meets Big John Holmes".
Could also create your own giant poster, one element per page (or per 1/2 page) via your computer printer. Thereafter, you could holster them in
vinyl page protectors, ziplock bags, or whatever........And, staple, glue, or otherwise attach 'em to a wall or panel.
The last time, I had a big old custom poster produced for one of my classes, it cost me a bundle of money. Most of it wasted. After a few uses, I
got in a big old dispute with a chicken-shit administrator, and quit my teaching job. Took all of my fancy, self-paid-for, props with me.

I had one from Flinn Scientific that had a reasonable bit of data on it.
I've never seen one that's got semi-encyclopedic information on it.

These are all great ideas. I might go for the rasterbator thing, that looks pretty cool.
