Physium Overview

1 Physium Overview

• The Physium application provides you with the following capabilities.

Periodic Table of Elements

• The application can be used to display periodic table of elements.

•Table shows element atomic number, atomic symbol, atomic weight, etc.

•Elements can be search for based on element name, atomic symbol, atomic number or
atomic weight.

Fundamental Physical Constants

• The application can be used to display fundamental physical constants, which are
grouped for easy referencing.

•Physical constants can be edited and saved as required.

•Physical constants can be stored in Alpha memory and used in the RUN

•

MAT mode.

• The details dialog box shows the element atomic number, atomic symbol, element name,

atomic weight, and attributes for the element that was selected on the periodic table
screen.

•Brackets ([ ]) indicate atomic weight of a well-known isotope. The element names for

these isotopes are followed by an asterisk (`).

• The mini table screen shows a compressed version of the periodic table, with cells that

represent each element.

• The information in the upper right corner of the screen shows the atomic number, atomic

symbol, and atomic weight for the element where the cursor is currently located in the
table.

•Transition elements (lanthanoids and actinoids) are shown below the periodic table

(LANT, ACTI).

•When a lanthanoid is selected, the information in the upper right shows the corresponding

atomic number (57 to 71), “Lant.” for the atomic symbol, and blank for the atomic weight.
When an actinoid is selected, the information shows the corresponding atomic number
(89 to 103), “Acti.” for the atomic symbol, and blank for the atomic weight.

•Use f, c, d, and e to move the cursor around the screen.
