HSC Chemistry

Elements Database

The basic chemical and physical properties of the elements have a decisive effect on the thermochemical properties of compounds. For example, the electronegativity values of the elements have a strong effect on the chemical bonds between the elements in all chemical compounds. Therefore the periodic system of elements provides the base for thermochemistry.

The Elements module offers an element database in spreadsheet format with some 56 different element properties. The user may easily add his own data to this table in the same way as in MS Excel applications. This data may be saved for later use by the File Save selection. The default name of the workbook is Element4.ele.

The Diagram option enables the user to draw illustrative diagrams on the basis of the selected property row. The diagram shows at a glance the greatest and smallest values in the periodic system. The exact number values behind the spheres may be seen by double clicking the element square or label in the diagram. The diameter of the sphere shows the magnitude of the value compared to the maximum value. The maximum value creates a sphere, which fits the element box exactly.
