That's right, my love for the periodic table can now be extended to my phone! My sweet Palm Pre features the periodic table in its app catalog, with such data as:

  • Oxidation Status
  • Boiling Point
  • Melting Point
  • Electron Configuration
  • Electron Negativity
  • Atomic Radius
  • Atomic Volume
  • Specific Heat Capacity
  • Ionization Potential
  • Atomic Number
  • Symbol
  • Name
  • Weight
  • Link to Wikipedia article

Man, I thought we were cutting edge when we were able to spell 35006 on our calculators in math class.1 The link to the Wikipedia article is a nice touch, I thought. BHE (Best Husband Ever) paid for the app so I could play to my heart's content. Below is an image from the catalog (but I believe this was an earlier version, as my version has a lot more to it and looks better).

1 For those not indoctrinated into high school shenanigans, 35006 = GOOSE (upside down and backward). A tangentially related fun fact: someone created a goose poop calculator. I love the InterGoogle.
