TP

Whether or not you are passionate about chemistry, you can learn a lot of interesting things just by looking at a periodic table. Unlike the ones found in chemistry books, a digital periodic table is interactive and can provide a lot more useful information.

TP is a relatively simple program that provides you with a handy periodic table right on your desktop. It could be improved in certain respects, but it is easy to use and offers some helpful features.

With TP, what you see in the screenshots is what you get – a classic periodic table that lists all the known elements and provides details about each of them when you click on their symbols.

The elements are organized into groups, and the application indicates which group each of them belongs to when one is selected.

Unfortunately, if you don’t have a very large monitor, the element descriptions and values will be difficult to read. The font is very small, and it is not possible to increase its dimensions.

It is also worth noting that, when resizing the application window, the table itself is not resized, which means that the program can only be used in full-screen mode.

Aside from displaying the elements, this utility also allows you to enter formulas and view where each of its components can be found in the table. This feature should definitely prove useful, and a number of formulas can be selected from a drop-down list.

TP is a simple but useful application for students or users who are just interested in chemistry. It provides you with some basic information about each element, and it can help you identify the components of formulas, but the user interface needs to be optimized for smaller displays.
