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
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
Ionisation energies Electronic affinities |
This tab shows details about
Pauling electronegativity value Ionisation energies in- MJ per mol. first, second and third ionisation 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 |
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 All 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. |
