Specifically chemical, physical and material properties of elements, and how elements rank against one another in those regards.

This forum is specifically for the discussion of factual science and technology. When the topic moves to speculation, then it needs to also move to the parent forum, Science Fiction and Fantasy (SF/F).
If the topic of a discussion becomes political, even remotely so, then it immediately does no longer belong here. Failure to comply with these simple and reasonable guidelines will result in one of the following.
- the thread will be moved to the appropriate forum
- the thread will be closed to further posts.
- the thread will remain, but the posts that deviate from the topic will be relocated or deleted.
Thank you for understanding.
Anyone know a good site on element properties?

I've investigated both of the sites you suggested before coming here, neither gives me the information I need.
Wikipedia itself depends on searching by individual element to learn things about it, and unless that element is particularly distinguished from all other it usually says little about its properties in relation to others.
Only some aspects of elements are listed according to a specific trait, such as boiling point, melting point, or hardness.

You may be having difficulty because elements may have different properties within the same state, usually depending on structure.
Allotropes of Carbon, for example.
You could always go through wiki (and supplemental sources found by targeted searches) and put a table together yourself.

Fine, type "list of elements by [desired property]" into google, and wikipedia has a chart for it.
