The PeriodicTableElements is an elegant app that is interactive and fun. Easy to use, easy to understand, simple and effective. It shows the periodic table of elements in variety of ways 1) Classic grid with name that is color coded. You can configure it to look however you like. 2) Visually appealing electron distribution. 3) Visually appealing Lewis dot structure. 4) List that can be sorted based on different element properties like group, period, category etc. These awesome periodic tables can be shared by simple double click anywhere on the table. It is possible to copy the periodic table diagrams as high quality SVG xml. Drag your finger on the periodic table canvas to update elements automatically or tap on an element to see more details. Tap on an element and all the rest of the related elements are highlighted. Details of a selected element is shown in a beautifully drawn animated element. Tap on the animated element and you will see more details that can also be shared. Tapping on the list element will navigate you to a page that shows details of the element. It automatically saves your hard work locally on your device so you can come back and pick up from where you left off as your great effort will not be lost. This is a perfect app if you are a student learning chemistry. This is an app for all student groups. From high school to college to university students. Be creative. Enjoy the app!

Unlock the building blocks of the universe with a modern, interactive periodic table. Designed for students, educators and science enthusiasts, this app turns a static chart into a living reference: tap any element to see its properties, spin its atom in 3D, read its story and hear its name spoken, in nine languages. SCIENTIFIC DETAIL AT YOUR FINGERTIPS Explore all 118 elements, each with 20 properties, compiled from trusted open sources such as Wikipedia and IUPAC: - Physical Properties: atomic mass, density, melting point, boiling point and appearance. - Atomic Structure: full and shorthand electron configurations, atomic radius, covalent radius, crystal structure, lattice constants and lattice angles. - Chemical Behavior: electronegativity (Pauling scale), ionization energy, electron affinity and oxidation states. - Thermodynamics: specific heat capacity. - Identification: atomic number, group, period and category, plus who discovered each element and when. THE STORY OF EVERY ELEMENT Go beyond the numbers. Every element comes with a short introduction covering: - Real-World Uses: from jewelry and electronics to medicine and aerospace. - Production: how the element is extracted or made today. - History: how it was discovered and where its name and symbol come from. - Health and Safety: its biological roles and the precautions to take. - Market and Properties: what drives its price and what makes it distinctive. STUNNING INTERACTIVE VISUALS - 3D Bohr Models: watch the electrons fill their shells, and rotate and zoom with your fingers. - 3D Crystal Structures: turn the lattice to see how the atoms pack together, from body-centered cubic to hexagonal. - Color-Coded Groups: spot alkali metals, transition metals, metalloids, noble gases, lanthanides, actinides and more at a glance. - Full Screen: turn your device on its side to see the whole table at once, ideal for revision or the classroom. HEAR EVERY NAME, IN NINE LANGUAGES Not sure how to say "praseodymium"? Tap the speaker. Every element's name has been recorded in each of the nine languages, so it sounds natural and the same on every device. THE WHOLE APP IN YOUR LANGUAGE Every element name, property and introduction is translated into nine languages, and the app goes by a name in each of them: - Periodic Table (English) - Tabla periódica (Español) - Tableau périodique (Français) - Periodensystem (Deutsch) - 元素周期表 (中文) - Tabela Periódica (Português) - 周期表 (日本語) - आवर्त सारणी (हिन्दी) - Периодическая таблица (Русский) Oxygen becomes Oxígeno, 氧, 酸素 or Кислород, and every name is spoken in its own language. The app follows your device's language, and you can switch at any time in Settings. THE PERFECT STUDY TOOL - Understand Every Number: tap the ⓘ next to any property for a plain explanation. The built-in glossary covers 23 terms with real examples from the table. - 350 Years of Discovery: the history section tells how the periodic table was pieced together, from alchemists to the superheavy elements of today. - Powerful Search: find any element instantly by name, symbol or atomic number, in your own language. - Quick Filters: highlight a whole group with one tap, or tap Ln or An to focus on the lanthanides or actinides. - Works Offline: the table, every element's details, the 3D models and the recorded names are built into the app, so they work without an internet connection. DESIGNED FOR EVERY DEVICE - Built for iPhone and iPad, in portrait and landscape. - A clean, uncluttered design that keeps the elements front and center. - Also available on both the web and mobile platforms. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Free, with no account, no ads, no analytics and no cookies. The app does not collect any personal data. Whether you are preparing for a chemistry exam, teaching a class or exploring the wonders of the natural world, Periodic Table: Interactive 3D puts every element one tap away.
