Slide Number 1 Title Slide	Hello everyone. Welcome to this tutorial on Features and Color Schemes in GChemTable.
Slide Number 2 Learning Objectives	In this tutorial, we will learn about GChemTable Elemental window Color schemes.
Slide Number 3 System Requirement	Here I am using Ubuntu Linux OS version 12.04. GChemPaint version 0.12.10. GChemTable version 0.12.10
Slide Number 4 Pre-requisites	To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with Periodic table of elements and GChemPaint For relevant GChemPaint tutorials, please visit our website.
	Now let's learn about GChemTable application.
Slide Number 5 Installation	GChemTable can be installed as a utility software of GChemPaint using Synaptic Package Manager'
Slide Number 6 About GChemTable'	GChemTable is a chemical elements Periodic table application. It provides scientific information about elements It shows Periodic table with different Color schemes.
Click on Dash Home type GChem3D in the search bar>> Click on Periodic table of the elements icon.	To open GChemTable, click on Dash Home. In the search bar that appears type “gchemtable”. Click on Periodic table of the elements icon.
Point to Periodic table of the elements window. Point to Menubar	GChemTable window has Menubar like all window based programs. Menubar contains all the commands you need to work with GChemTable.
Point to the table point to element buttons	This is the Periodic table. Here you can see element buttons.
Place the cursor on the element button.	To get the name of the element, place the cursor on the element button.
Point to the buttons. Point to the table.	Colors used for buttons in the table are conventional colors of the elements. This table is a replica of Modern Periodic table.
	Now let's learn about Elemental window.
Click on any element button on the periodic table.	To display it, click on any element button on the periodic table. I will click on Carbon(C) Elemental window of Carbon opens.
Point to the sides	Elemental Window contains four side tabs Main, Electronic Properties, Radii and Thermodynamics I will explain about each tab one by one
Point to the Main tab point to all the components one by one.	By default Main tab is selected. It has Symbol of the element, Atomic number, Atomic weight and Electronic configuration.
Point to the headings	It has a table with headings Lang and Name Table shows Carbon's name in various languages.
	Next click on Electronic properties tab
Point to electronegativity value Ionization energies Electronic affinities	This tab shows details about Pauling electro-negativity value Ionization energies in- MJ per mol. first, second and third Ionization energies. Electronic affinities in – KJ per mol.
Point to the buttons Click on the buttons. Point to the displayed chart.	On the rightside corresponding Show curve buttons are seen. Click on Show curve button to view the Chart.
Point to Close button.	I will close the chart.
Click on Radii tab Point to the values	Next click on Radii tab This tab shows Covalent, Vander Waals and Metallic radii values in pm. 'pm' is pico metre= 10-12m. Since Carbon is non-metal it does not have metallic radii value.
Point to close button.	I will close the Carbon window.
Click on Sodium(Na) button>>Click on Radii tab.	Let's click on Sodium(Na) button. Click on Radii tab. Metallic radii value is shown here.
Point to the table columns.	Radii tab shows a table of Ionic radii. Table contains Ion, C.N, Value as columns Let's scroll down the table.
Point to close button.	I will close the Carbon window.
Click on Sodium(Na) button>>Click on Radii tab.	Let's click on Sodium(Na) button. Click on Radii tab. Metallic radii value is shown here.
Point to the table columns.	Radii tab shows a table of Ionic radii. Table contains Ion, C.N, Value as columns Let's scroll down the table.
Point to CN and Value columns.	This table gives information about different Ionic states that Sodium exists in. Its coordination number(CN) and Ionic radii value in pm.
Point to close button.	Let's close Sodium elemental window.
Point to the element buttons.	Elements Chromium, Manganese, Iron, Cobalt, Nickel and Copper have a tendency to form a large complexes.
Click on Iron button. Point to the elemental window.	Let's click on Iron(Fe} button. Its elemental window opens
Click on Radii tab.	Ionic radii table has an extra column named Spin.Click on Radii tab
Point to Spin column	Spin column gives idea about complex formation tendency of Iron.
Point to High and Low	Here High means spin free complexes where electrons are unpaired.↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ Low means spin paired complexes where electrons are paired up. ⇅ ⇅ ⇅ ⇅
Point to close button.	I will close the elemental window of Iron(Fe}
Point to the link.	More details about complex formation are available at this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_states_d_electrons.
Click again on the elemental window of Carbon.	Let's click again on the elemental window of Carbon.
Click on Thermodynamics tab Point to Melting Point and Boiling point	Click on Thermodynamics tab This shows Melting Point and Boiling point of Carbon.
Assignment	Explore Show curve button on your own.
Point to Close button.	Let's close the window.
	Now let's move on to Color schemes.
Go View menu and select Color scheme.	Go View menu, select Color scheme.
Click on No colors. Point to element buttons.	Click on No colors All element buttons turn to grey.
Click on Color Schemes. Select Physical states.	Click on Color Schemes. Select Physical states.
Move the cursor on the table.	A new periodic table opens with elements buttons in Blue color. Except for some in Black.
Point to the scale slider	On the top you can see a Temperature(K): scale slider with zero(0) as minimum value.
Point to colors of solid, liquid and gas.	Below you can see colors of Solid- Blue, Liquid- Green and Gas-Red.
Point to 0K point to color.	At zero degree Kelvin all the elements are in solid state. So they appear in blue color.
Drag the slider. Point to the colors	Let's drag the slider to increase the temperature. Notice that elements change their physical state. Blue color is replaced by Green(liquid) and Red(Gas) colors.
Point to 6010K point to color.	At 6010 Kelvin all the elements change to gaseous state. All the buttons change to Red color.
Point to color.	Some elements are shown with black background. Their state is unknown at that temperature.
	Next let's select Family.
Point to Selected Family drop down button.	Selected Family drop down button appears.
Scroll down the list.	Drop down list has various families with their corresponding colors.
Point to All. Point to different family colors.	By default AllHere is an assignment Explore E is selected. Each Family of elements appear in specific Family colors.
Click on the drop down list and select Metalloids.	Click on the drop down list and select Metalloids.
Point to Metalloids color. Move the cursor over rest all elements.	Metalloids appear in Green family background color. Rest all elements appear in black background.
Select Electronegativity Color scheme.	Go back to Color Schemes, select Electronegativity.
Point red colored buttons. Point to blue colored buttons.	Elements with red color have lowest electronegativity values. Elements with blue color have highest electronegativity values.
Point to black colored buttons.	If no data is available in the database, element appears in black background.
Move the cursor over rest all elements Point to pink colored buttons.	There is gradual change in the color from red to blue. Elements with pink color have in between electronegativity values.
Point to the Blocks and move the cursor on all the Blocks	Let's now select Block. Elements of each Block appear with alloted block color. 's' block – blue 'p' block – reddish brown color. 'd' block – green and 'f' block – Purple <pause>
Let's summarize what we have learnt. Slide Number 8 Summary In this tutorial we have learnt. Details about elemental windows. Color Schemes of Physical State Family Electronegativity and Block
Slide Number 9 Assignment	Here is an assignment Explore Elemental windows of Cobalt, Nickel, Copper and others. Different Family Color schemes Atomic radius Color scheme
