Click on Dash Home.
Type “gchemtable” in the search bar that appears. |
| Click on Periodic table of the elements icon. | Click on Periodic table of the elements icon. |
| Go to View menu select Elements Charts.
Point to the submenu. |
Go to View menu select Element Charts.
A submenu opens, displaying a list of options. |
| Click on Electro-negativity. | Click on Electro-negativity.
A chart of Pauling Electro-negativity versus Atomic number(Z) is displayed. |
| Point to the chart. | In the chart, highest Electro-negativity value is '4'. |
| Point to Close button. | I will now close the Electro-negativity chart. |
| Select Melting Point chart. | Likewise, different charts are available under View menu,
Element charts option. I will select Melting Temperature option now. |
| Point to the highest Melting Point. | A chart of Melting point versus Atomic number(Z) is displayed.
In this chart, Carbon has highest melting point. |
| Point to Close button. | I will close the Melting point chart now. |
| Now, let's learn how to create a "Custom" chart. | |
| Go to View menu select Element Charts >>
