PTable

Even though the computer can process information a lot faster than we do and makes them easily accessible, it doesn’t mean it’s a method of cheating in school, on the contrary, it serves as a powerful documentation method. For instance, PTable provides a detailed view of the Periodic Table of Elements.

A first cool thing about it is the lack of an installer, which makes it possible to check out the set of features from the moment download is done. More than that, you can easily store it on a USB flash drive in case you always want to have it at hand. Registry entries are not modified in the process, so the target PC is not put at risk.

A pretty large window shows up on launch, with a neat representation of the Periodic Table of Elements. Colors make it easy to tell the different states and types of elements, but there are also corresponding tags to know exactly what they are. Selecting an elements enlists more details in an upper section.

As such, you get to know an element’s atomic weight, oxidation state, melting and boiling points, density, electronegativity, as well as atomic radius. On the bright side of things, the application contains a rich database of elements, including artificial compounds, being quite up to date with set of information.

You can access a history of accessed elements in a dedicated window. More than that, the copy function sends all element related details to the clipboard. In case there’s more you want to know, the application can bring up a dedicated window with the corresponding Wikipedia page. Needless to say that an active Internet connection is required for the latter function.

PTable is a fully-fledged, modern Periodic Table of Elements. It contains an updated list, and a great deal of information, and even provides quick access to the corresponding Wikipedia page of the selected elements to view the entire history and data.
