Play With Periodic Table

School aims to teach you about the basic of everything that surrounds us, and sure enough everything seems incredibly difficult at first. Chemistry is among these tough subjects, but with the right set of computer applications like Play With Periodic Table you can easily experiment, and learn a lot about basic elements.

It doesn’t take a lot of time before you get to enjoy all the application has to offer, but you first need to make sure that .NET Framework is on your computer, even though it’s a default feature in modern Windows iterations. A main menu shows up on launch, where you’re returned to after closing the section you’re in.

There are three possible interaction methods, two of which aim to put your knowledge to the test, while the other is a free exploration of the Periodic Table of Elements. Truth be told, analyzing the table is quite fun, and even though the table is not colored in the default set of tints, it does put a different color on each type of element, such as alkali metals, semi metallics, lanthanides, transition metals, and more.

However, the table isn’t just there for analysis, and you can interact with every element. A set of options make it possible to either have pronunciation on mouse click, or sound for the aggregation state of the selected element. Moreover, a cool visual representation of the element and all its orbital layers is shown along with details like name, atomic number, atomic mass, orbital configuration, and valence.

As far as the couple of tests are concerned, these take you through a rather similar experience, but with different requirements. The entire table is in plain sight, and you’re asked to select the right element either based on the shown symbol, or give atomic number.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Play With Periodic Table is a fun way to learn the basics of chemistry. The interactive table of elements provides cool visual and audio support, while test scenarios help you check your performance, even if a bit shallow overall.
