Product features

  • The entire chart becomes color coded with the press of a button to show how different chemical characteristics vary across the chart.
  • A simplified electron configuration diagram of every element
  • A details screen that includes an explanation of the elements name, symbol and family
  • A slider control allows you to see the states (gas, liquid, or solid) of all elements at the temperature your control

Product description

This starts out as a standard Periodic Table of the Elements, but becomes much more. With a tap of a button the entire chart becomes color-coded to clearly demonstrate how various chemical properties are distributed across all the elements.

Not just the family and metal or non-metal, but state (gas, liquid or solid), electronegativity, radioactivity and more. In addition a slider allows you to see the states and a temperature you select, and even choose a year to see what elements had been discovered at that point in time.

A simplified electron shell diagram helps students see how the electron configuration affects what family an element belongs to.

A 'details' screen includes information a chemistry student needs, along with a brief explanation of the name, symbol, and family - typically the items young students are most curious about.

    The excellent features are the easy to read and understand information about the table of elements that will is great for science student and casual browser. There are plenty of pages of data to pique the interest of a casual browser and provide necessary data for the science student.
    The information ranges from the basic overview to the drill-down detail of each element. Elements are shown by atomic group, which I like, and there are buttons which state each atomic group.

    Came in very handy for me. It helped me remember the atomic makeup of our natural elements in our periodic table and that what I remembered back when I took Chemistry in high school in 1968-69 the table natural atomic number was 88 elements and it still is 88. I was also happy to learn gases, liquids, solids, temperature changes to different states of being for the elements. I had expected that by now there would have been new natural atomic element discoveries. I understand that there are many man created heavier elements. This Periodic Table does not include these added heavier elements.

    This was a free download, but I really didn't like it. Perhaps it would have been better on a tablet, but I was trying to use it on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and it was terrible; the information was all jammed together and it was generally useless. I deleted it after a few days.

    Liked the concept, but when I downloaded I received a warning that the app was designed for an older version of Android operating system and that it might not work properly. The warning was correct. I am removing the app as soon as I finish this review.

    this is app is like having flash cards at the ready. You can set it for weight, year discovered, base, and many other categories. It would be a great app for single study or group. I especially like the color coding for categories.

    Mein Sohn findet die Aufstellung super. Er kann sich anzeigen lassen, welche Elemente metallisch sind, etc. - wirklich nicht schlecht. Auch die Infos über die einzelnen Elemente sind doch sehr interessant und die Darstellung der Schalen finde ich auch eine gute Idee. Wenn's jetzt noch auf Deutsch übersetzt wäre, dann wäre es perfekt - nichtsdestotrotz fünf Sterne, da es auf Englisch natürlich auch verständlich und von Nutzen ist.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 28, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I downloaded this app onto my tab with the ambition to commit it to memory, which I may one day achieve. I had read the reviews of other users and concur with their criticisms, particularly of the temperature gauge which should show at what temperatures elements change form (solid, liquid, gas) which shows clearly wrong information unless fiddled with. Not much use if you do not happen to know the correct answer.

    As this app is free I would say that it is just about worth the money.
