There's an app for that?

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.
