Periodic Table
built 92 days ago
IKEA's periodic table, dated 1896. See how firmly it stands on all fours. Admire its flat top. Made for you to display your thingys in a respectful manner. The modern Periodic Table is a Eni Meeni Mini Mo method of displaying made up names of different atoms and was invented in 1974 by Mandalaav, a science teacher in Wellington, New Zealand. (On a related note, Madalaav ... insists he invented the Occasional Table, but this claim occassionally goes into great dispute.) Scientists thinks that the Periodic Table contains 118 elements but we all really know that it contains only Water, Earth, Fire and Air. Other new age scientists have come up with a new table containing five elements namely Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. Some scientists argue that rhubarb should be added to the former list, claiming that it is of equal importance of the other named elements. T Today, The Periodic Table contains elements including Polonium, Bohrium, Osmium and Opium.
The Periodic Table is the source of a great deal of information about chemical elements. The key can tell the location of the atomic number and atomic mass on a chart. The atomic number tells the number of electrons and protons, while the difference of the rounded atomic mass and atomic number gives the number of neutrons in the most common isotope of the element. Metals are generally found on the bottom left of the Periodic Table [most metallic at the bottom of Group 1 (IA)]. Nonmetals are generally found on the top right of the Periodic Table, excluding the farthest right Group [the most nonmetallic element is fluorine, at top of Group 17 (VIIA)]. Metalloids are generally clustered around and touching the zigzag line that runs diagonally in a stair-step fashion starting to the left of Boron [Group 13 (IIIA)].
SMI Logo Periodic Table has a tool bar and status bar for ease of use. Context sensitive help is available throughout the program. Legends stay put and their position is remembered between sessions. The main window remembers its position and size from one session to the next. Three different group name standards are supported and can be set by the user.
