Elements FOR LINUX

The period table story is quite fascinating. Originally drew up by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869, today's version of the periodic table is much more complex.

Nevertheless, the table is still a very valuable tool for students and scientists from all around the world for the same reasons why it was important when it was first invented.

It's used to organize elements according to similar properties. This allows you to tell the characteristics of any element just by looking at its location on the table.

A quick search on the Internet will yield tons of results if you require to check the period table, and there are even some decent desktop apps out there.

Most period table apps are not something to write about, both in terms of functionality and look. However, Elements is a bit different.

Elements is an Electron-based app that brings the period table to your computer's desktop via a very stylish GUI. In short, it's a wrapper for the <chemical-element-visualisation> web app, and the results are quite good.

Features:

• Displays the period element and each element's properties on your desktop


• Choose language and temperature units in Settings section


• Two GUI themes available: Light and Dark


• Click on any element for atom animation and detailed information

While not exactly the most advanced app out there, Elements is still very interesting. It looks good, and it does a good job of providing you with all the basic information about all the elements of the period table.

Better yet, it may be a lot handier to use since it doesn't require you to use a web browser.
