ChemTable

ChemTable is a freeware Periodic Table application that runs on Palm OS handhelds. The program is quite straightforward to use. Tapping on any of the element boxes in the periodic table will bring up a form showing a list of physical/chemical properties. You can display either element symbols or Atomic numbers in the table. You can also select a subset of the elements for display (Transition Metals, Halogens, Noble Gases, etc). Only half of the periodic table can be viewed at a time. To switch sections, tap on the left or right arrow button. The color coding for the various element categories can be changed via a Color Settings form. Simply tap on any of the colored boxes in that form to display a Pick Color dialog. ChemTable also features an element list that can be sorted by name, symbol, or atomic number. To view element names or symbols that begin with a particular letter, enter that letter in the Graffiti input area. The list will automatically scroll to the required position.
