You studied the periodic table and it still slips. Atomic Tab drills it the way exams ask: not only names and symbols, but group, period, block, atomic mass, electronegativity and more. The elements you miss collect in your Often wrong set, so you drill exactly those. Quiz Start from a name, a symbol or an atomic number and answer any of 14 properties. Easy gives you choices. Hard makes you type the answer, and forgives a small typo on longer answers. Often wrong Your misses add up across rounds. Up to 30 of the elements you miss most become a set you can drill on its own. Table Match Tap & Match and Drag & Match put elements back in their place. Structure takes the labels away: find the element from its group and period, its group and block, or its period and block. Fill the Card One clue, up to three blanks. Rebuild an element's card field by field. Learn Tap any element in the table to see 13 properties, from electron configuration to oxidation states. A mnemonic for each of the 18 groups, and with Pro you can write your own. Sets and stats Train on the first 20, 50 or 80 elements, all 118, a family such as the halogens or the lanthanides, or a set you build yourself. Stats show your accuracy, your best times and the elements you miss most. Compete if you like 4 Game Center leaderboards and 26 achievements. The details Free with ads; stats open after a short video. Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription: no ads, unlimited custom sets, full stats, your own mnemonics and a Pro app icon.

Two game modes Quiz yourself either way: Element โ Symbol or Symbol โ Element. Switch anytime to challenge your memory from both angles. Smart review The app automatically spots the elements you know least and brings them back more often, with tricky look-alike options (like Silicon vs Selenium, or Sodium vs Sulfur) to sharpen your memory and avoid confusion. Bohr diagrams Every answer reveals the element's electron shells, atomic number, atomic mass and family - so you learn the real chemistry, not just the letters.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Elemlearn at none against Atomic Tab's 1. Elemlearn also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Atomic Tab's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
