[6:00 AM] The Atomic Mac Gets Another Of Its Periodic Updates by Staff Black Cat Systems has release version 3.7.0 of the Atomic Mac. The Atomic Mac is a periodic table of the elements on steroids for the MacOS. The new version adds a graphing feature. According to Black Cat Systems: This version adds the ability to graph various physical data (density, atomic mass, boiling point, etc.) against atomic number. The Atomic Mac is a periodic table of the elements for the Macintosh. In addition to the usual information found in such programs, The Atomic Mac also contains a wealth of nuclear information on each isotope, including half life, decay mode, and daughter products. X-ray data (fluorescence and binding energies) is also available. A molecular weight calculator makes it easy to find the molecular weight of compounds. A shaded diagram showing the ranges of physical properties makes it easy to visualize relationships across the periodic table. Data is displayed for the following physical properties: Density Heat of Vaporization Heat of Fusion Specific Heat Thermal Conductivity Linear Expansion Coefficient Melting Point Boiling Point Atomic Radius Covalent Radius Magnetic Susceptibility Electrical Resistivity Electron Affinity Electric Dipole Polarizability State (gas, liquid, solid) Photoelectric Work Function Electronegativity Crystal Structure The Atomic Mac is available as shareware for US$25.
