Periodic Table Explorer

The PTE is a brand new way of exploring the periodic table. It has the same functions as the original Periodic Table software plus many more, it also has a completely new and innovative user interface that allows an almost unlimited amount of control over the display.

Each display can be opened any number of times, and can show different information. The size, shape and position of each display can be customised too.
You can save your favourite layouts for retrieval at a later date.

The Periodic Table Explorer comes in two versions.
Before downloading, please read the following;

Standard Version
The standard install contains the Periodic Table Explorer executable and necessary system files but NO data files, so you MUST have installed the Periodic Table (v3.1.0 or above) first. The original Periodic Table and the Explorer applications will be available to you should you wish to use both. Install this in the same directory as the original application (this is the default). If you want to have access to the explorer and the original then this is the best option.

Full Version
The full version contains the Periodic Table application and the latest version of the data files. Download this version if you have either an old set of data or you wish to install for the first time.

Features include:
Detailed information on each element
Details of isotopes and allotropes
Details of important compounds
Details of reactions with water, air, halogens and acids

Images for each element (126 images in total)
including valence and crystal stucture diagrams
Glossary of terms
Graphs of important element properties
Biographies for the important scientists and element discoverers
View the states of the elements at any temperature (from 0 - 6000k)
XP style support
Search through all content
Electron shell diagrams of each element
Atomic width diagram
Element names and the majority of the applications buttons are now available in eight different languages. Unfortunately there is just too much text for me to translate (95000+ words).

If you are using this Periodic Table in a school / college or other institue of learning and would like to add your own content, or customise existing content, then please click here http://www.freshney.org/education/pte/ined.htm
