The original purpose was to learn atoms name in Chinese (from French), then further details have been integrated, like etymology (in English), pictures and links to Wikipedia and Vikidia. You may need to edit the card templates according to your needs. Most data come from Wikipedia and https://elements.wlonk.com.
This deck also features animated atoms (with valence electrons in red) and animated table showing shell filling order.
Regarding atoms, I suggest to read "The Elements" ("Atomes"/视觉之旅) from Theodore Gray and "The Secret Life of the Periodic Table" ("La vie secrète des atomes") from Ben Still.

Latin carbo
description
From the French, charbone, which in turn came from Latin carbō, which means "charcoal" and is related to carbōn, which means "a coal". (The German and Dutch names, "Kohlenstoff" and "koolstof", respectively, both literally mean "coal matter".) These words were derived from the PIE base *ker- meaning heat, fire, or to burn.

This deck in totally the goat. The added material inside the cards is overwhelming. I immediately have to study the template syntax as a Anki beginner.

Level of detail is insane; thanks for putting this up. Also a little bit bizarre: I came here looking for a periodic table deck, but also happen to be fluent in Chinese and learning French --- perfect!
