- !Periodic is an application which shows (surprise,
- surprise) a periodic table of the elements. Clicking on any
- element displays a range of physical, electronic,
- thermodynamic properties for that particular element.
-
- I would welcome feedback from users on what data could
- usefully be included in such an application, and also how it
- could be extended to be more functional.
-
- If users could actually supply me with data, that would
- obviously save me a lot of time! I include in the archive a
- dummy csv data file (names_dat) with all the elements listed
- to enable data to be added.
-
- For example the format is
-
- #symbol,name
- ..
- ..
- Ne,Neon
- Na,Sodium
- Mg,Magnesium
- ..
- ..
-
- Indicate in the first line the data being submitted, e.g.
-
- #symbol,name,property1,property2
-
- and add the numerical values to data lines using commas as
- separators, e.g.
- ..
- Ne,Neon,23.5,1.4
- Na,Sodium,67.48,2.2
- Mg,Magnesium,45.09,7.8
- ..
-
- Unavailable data can be left blank.
-
- Then simply send a disc containing the file to me (or use
- e-mail if you have access). I will copy the file and return
- the disc. I can then add the data to !Periodic in a suitable
- table, either adding to one of the present categories, or
- creating a new one as appropriate.
