The Atomic Dashboard for Android

11 things about The Atomic Dashboard

1. Used by educators, students, scientists, and the simply curious, The Atomic Dashboard features an interactive periodic table that lets you explore the chemical elements -- their properties, periodic trends, history, and relevance to society.

2. • Search the PubChem database by molecule name, by chemical formula, or by searching for terms as wide ranging as "vitamins," "hydrocarbons," or "detergents." Download these molecules and inspect them using the unique 3D viewing tools in The Atomic Dashboard's Model Window.

3. Now you can also use The Atomic Dashboard to find, download and view interesting molecules from a collection of 25 million 3D models available in the PubChem database at the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

4. And more exciting, with its new 3D Molecule Library and its physics-based, 3D models of atomic orbitals, molecules, compounds, gases, and crystals, you can explore the relationships between the behavior of atoms and molecules and their 3D structure.

5. Nearly 150 years ago, the distinguished Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev discovered previously hidden relationships between the physical and chemical properties of the elements and their atomic weights.

6. The Atomic Dashboard's user interface is dead simple -- it's the periodic table.

7. The Atomic Dashboard is an interactive chemistry resource and learning tool developed by Bitwixt Software Systems (@Atomsmith1).

8. Yet, for much of that time the periodic table has remained lifeless -- a collection of boxes mounted on the walls of desolate lecture halls and on the inside covers of musty textbooks.

9. And as you navigate The Atomic Dashboard, you are also navigating the principles of chemistry.

10. Ordering pieces of paper representing the elements into a two-dimensional grid -- a table -- he grouped together elements with similar properties.

11. • Explore the bonding characteristics of molecules, including the covalent bonding structure ("3D Lewis structures") and the locations of lone pair electrons.
