Elements v Periodic Table
j.nomograms11- Pros
- Extremely intuitive and easy to use.
- Cons
- I have found none.
- Summary
- I have a Ph.D. in Hydraulics (Fluid Dynamics). Undergrad degrees in Theoretical Physics and Chemical Engineering. I find Elements very easy to use as a quick reference far superior to Periodic Table. However, I am quite certain that Periodic Table has users who may disagree with me. As a daily user I still maintain that Elements is superior, for my purposes. Vielen Dank. Johan Greenhaus
Awesome product.
shockwave--2008- Pros
- Graphical interface very friendly. Stacks of information on each element. personally love the electron shell configuration of each element.
- Cons
- When shifting between screen resolutions, some "inspectors" can be difficult to resize or re-orientate.
- Summary
- As a science teacher, this is well worth the $10. I have used it for the past 6 years.
Absolutely superb

- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />What a fantastic application! Information options are superb and the best I've seen from a periodic table program. Well done. Possible additions for the future would be the addition of radio active isotopic information, the sources of the elements e.g Aluminium - primary source Bauxite, and abundance information.
One of the best chemical reference tools I've seen

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is quite possible the most useful little program I've encountered in a long time. I just installed the this and the Dashboard widget on a G5 used in a very large General Chemistry lecture hall. At the touch of F12, a fully colored, info packed periodic table pops up. Totally cool. Having it linked to the widget adds even more info at the click of a mouse. Since I refer to a periodic table constantly in my lectures, this is slick way to pull the info I need up in class in a format that is pleasing and easy to read. With each release, the developers are packing more and more information into the program. With this in mind, I would like to make a few suggestions for future releases. â?¢ The thermodynamic or crystalline phase of the material needs to be included when indicating the various physical properties. For example, is the melting point of C for graphite or diamond? Is the C electrical conductivity for graphite or diamond? â?¢ Add: ionization potential, electron affinity, and electro-negativity for each atom. In addition, it would be nice to have the relative abundance in solar system/earth crust/earth ocean included. One could also add the visible absorption or emission spectrum + table of wavelengths & oscillator strengths. â?¢ It would be very cool to have a pop-up graphic for the crystal structures. â?¢ Eliminate the the "Bohr" planetary model graphic...it's a nice graphic, but misleading since this is not the way anyone (anymore) actually thinks about the electronic structure of atoms. â?¢ Link to the NIST atomic and molecular database for each atom. I highly recommend this any chemistry or physics student. I also recommend this (an the desktop widget) to any chemistry teacher or professor as an in-class tool. I give it excellent marks over all.

Brilliant...
drosboro- Pros

- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Most shareware developers could learn something about interface design from this app. The interface is beautiful, and also makes the information easily accessible. Awesome!
5 stars for functional elegance

Two thumbs up

- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Very nice. The author has really captured the look and feel of a first-rate OS X application. As someone who is in a college chem class right now, I found this app to be delightful.
Wow
