I'm not very sure, if you need to say Tabla periodica de elementos.

Or Do you need to translate (Que tiene que ver con sustancias quimicas.). That really it means. What has see with chemicals substance it?

Really I believe that my translation isn't very well, but just it was my attempt.


Have fun.

It is tabla periodica de elementos quimicos

(Although I don't see why they are quimicos, they are just elements.)

"Tabla periódica" can be enough to refer to it, but it's true, the "official" name is "Tabla periódica de los elementos".

@Perikles: With "los" you don't have to say "químicos".

You can add "químicos" to elementos because the word "elemento" has 14 meanings in the RAE . Ni todos los elementos son químicos, ni todos los químicos son elementos (it's a pun).

También se puede luchar contra los elementos (y no son químicos), por ejemplo.

¿Entonces la tabla periódica de los elementos también podría ser algo así?
