Discover the Periodic Table of the Elements on Android

Remembering back to my school days the Periodic Table of the Elements always had a particular fascination. Here was a chart that literally showed the whole building blocks of our universe, every type of atom any untold number of elements in it. All presented in a very nice chart with attractive pictures.

Now that I'm a successful website owner I can damned well have my childhood dream of a periodic table on my wall if I want! But I don't need to as all my Android devices: Phone and Tablets are massively supported with free periodic table apps!

Let's look at some of the best periodic tables for Android. Features you'll need to be looking for are of course the requisite number of elements but also if the app lists the atomic number and atomic mass.

A truly magnificent effort at making knowledge of the elements accessible and attractive.

If all this talk of atomic mass and number and crystalline properties of monomolecular elemental constituents is too much for you then just take it down a notch and chill with some elemental orientated games like

Not sure that elements like Dust, Vampire and nuclear weapons are on the traditional periodic table! But they should be!
