These images of the chemical elements are arranged in alphabetical order. I've collected them from various public domain sources, such as the USGS and user submissions to wikipedia. Certain elements are not represented here, like the exceedingly rare manmade radioactive elements, produced in quantities so small no one knows for sure how they look. If you have a photo of a pure element you would like to contribute to this gallery, you are welcome to submit it.
- ActiniumActinium is a radioactive silvery metal.
- AluminumAluminum Metal (Penny to Show Scale)
- AmericiumAmericium is a lustrous silvery-white metal that slowly tarnishes in air.
- AntimonyAntimony is a silvery-white crystalline metal.
- ArgonArgon is the current carrier in this discharge tube, while mercury is what produces the glow.
- ArsenicPure arsenic is found in many forms, or allotropes, including yellow, black, and gray.
- AstatineAstatine possesses characteristics common to other halogens, except with more metallic properties.
- BariumThis is a photo of barium. Barium is a soft silvery-white metal, but it oxidizes very easily in air.
- BerkeliumBerkelium is a silvery radioactive metal.
- Beryllium PhotoThis is a bead of pure beryllium (1.0 x 1.5 cm, 2.5 g).
- BerylliumSquare of beryllium foil for an x-ray microscope vacuum window.
- BismuthBismuth is a crystalline white metal, with a pink tinge.
