Labels for Color Categories

We will maintain a color-coded legend for the different categories of elements and their states. These categories are: hydrogen (by itself), alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, lanthanides, actinides, poor metals, other non-metals, ununseptium (by itself), noble gases. Text colors are based on state of matter.

Elements need to be categorized for coloring.

A user will see the table with different colors indicating each element's type (category) and state. They will also see a legend with colored boxes for the categories and text for the states.

Users will apply color codings to discern information about a given element or group of elements.
