The Books & Reference category on the Windows Store is the most popular one around, with over 14,000 unique apps available. And while a fair bunch of them are simple on content, there are a few must have ones.
One such app is
Modern Periodic Table — this barebones app provides convenient access to all the known elements in an unsophisticated package.
A look at the official description of the app:
“The Modern Periodic Table provides the known properties of all the 118 Elements. Many interactive features have been added to make the application much intuitive to use and easy to learn.
For professionals who need more properties of the elements, a sorted list of about 86 properties have been included. Internet connection is not necessary unless for viewing images of the elements.”
Internet connection is not mandatory, except when viewing images of the various elements, which are featured full screen. The elements are grouped together and colored for easier reference.
The design of this free app is something that could use a fair bit more polish, but as it is, it remains perfectly serviceable and provides detailed numbers and statistics for all the elements. And it runs fine on all versions of Windows 8, including x86, x64 and ARM builds.
