WebEle-ments (http //www.webelements.com) is a good Web site for looking up the properties of the elements. 

Like other pharmaceutical laboratories, Merck harp and ohme Research laboratories Is amassing an enormous amount of proprietary biological and chemical data. Moreover, the scientific staff at MSDRL Is using these data In Increasingly sophisticated ways In their search for products to Improve human and animal health.
