This application is a SIMPLE periodic table of the chemical elements.

About
*****
The periodic table of the chemical elements is a tabular display of the chemical elements. Although precursors to this table exist, its invention is generally credited to Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869, who intended the table to illustrate recurring ("periodic") trends in the properties of the elements. The layout of the table has been refined and extended over time, as new elements have been discovered, and new theoretical models have been developed to explain chemical behavior.

Features

Pros and cons of iElements - Periodic Table of The Chemical Elements app for iPhone and iPad

iElements - Periodic Table of The Chemical Elements app good for

This app is super helpful. It has all the info you need about each molecule and more than you need. Definitely a good app, especially since its free. Very easy to use.
I love this app! Great for lectures when I forget my table :)
I think you should make it so you could search the elements in the app
Almost as good as The Elements for iPhone 4!!!!! For those of you who dont know, thats a huge compliment since this app is free. And a major problem with The Elements for iPhone 4 is that it only works on 4th generation devices, so this app is an excellent alternative! Although I would suggest getting easier-to-read numbers for this app. (maybe a setting where users can change the data from Simple to Expert?) oh well
I was doing a project for school, it was to wright a report about an element, and this helped so much!
Could you add element weight on the main table, please? It would be really useful.

Some bad moments

I have it in my old iPod, Downloaded in the newer one but I cannot see it. Is this a BUG?
The only problem is that when I click on Ni (nickel) it appears as copper. Just needs to add in the info for nickel. Other than that great app. Really helpfull
This app really help with my chem classes this semester and had all the info on each of the element that we need to know for the class so I really recommend it to anyone who is taking general chem right now or planning to :)
Super helpful only wish it were easier to see names when zoomed in on lower periods
I really like it!!! It is very informative and it helped me with a presentation at school! Get it!
This app is awesome I love how on some it shows u how the element looks like.
