Periodic.Net

Students, teachers and those who are just entering the field of chemistry might, at some point, require looking into a periodic table to get a grasp of certain chemical elements. Periodic.Net is an application that was created for offering people an accessible periodical table, which they can use to learn more about the preferred elements. Featuring an interactive interface, it will allow them to visualize a short description of the selected elements.

The application carries a clean interface that provides users with a standard periodic table layout, with the main element groups designated using different colors. All the different elements can be clicked on, and this action will bring up a window contain a short description of the selected element.

One potential pitfall becomes apparent rather quickly and experienced users might and will notice it right from the start: the utility doesn’t provide the relative atomic mass. This is somewhat of a standard element on most periodic tables, and it is used by many when performing various calculations.

Users will be able to click on any chemical element, and the utility will provide prompt feedback. Nevertheless, all the provided descriptions are quite general and do not feature any additional references or useful links to related resources.

The basic functionality of the application might suffice the requirements of novices, but experienced users could crave for additional features such as filters, display of only certain elements on demand or at least the aforementioned relative atomic mass value.

Considering its straightforward use and easy-to-handle interface, Periodic.Net could be a good companion for those who wish to learn information about the chemical elements. It will provide them with a classic periodic table layout, which features the standard element grouping and interactive buttons for each. General descriptions are provided when clicking on the preferred element, but the application lacks important aspects such as the atomic number or more detailed information about the elements.
