Related: About this forumCool periodic table!
In this beautiful, easy-to-read periodic table, created by London-based graphic designer Alison Haigh, each element is represented by a visualization of its electronic structure, rather than by numbers and letters.
The dots each represent electronsso, hydrogen, which has an atomic number of 1, is the single dot in the upper lefthand corner.

maybe I wouldn't have gotten a C in chemistry.
That's not a good thing. I got better than a C in chemistry.

I got a great education in public schools, by and large; but Chemistry was a glaring exception. It's hard to imagine how one could have made the subject less interesting.

Electron configurations can be tough to visualize. This may help.
