The Elements: A Visual Exploration Review

Of all the periodic table apps, The Elements: A Visual Exploration is a rich and engaging love story of the periodic table, told in words and pictures, and allowing you to experience the beauty and fascination of the building blocks of our universe in a way you've never seen before.

Available on the App Store, Elements app is an elegantly designed interactive periodic table that takes the hassle out of chemistry by putting together the basic properties of all elements in a clean and well-structured manner.

For more detailed information about the properties of individual elements, you can click on the element of your interest and Elements app will readily pull up crucial information like year of discovery, density and type of substance. The interactive table also offers data about the precise electron and ionisation properties of each element as well as numerous bits and pieces about their history.

In addition to the extensive catalogue of elements, Elements app also features a nifty search engine that lets you filter out certain elements based on various criteria like bonding, magnetism, melting and boiling point, density and so on.

This app is good for more than showing what are the elements. If you click or tap on any element, it will open a window with additional information about it. You will be able to pinch-zoom any of the 500 objects to bring it up full screen and also spin the objects in 3D. You will find the element's name in over a dozen different languages.
