Atomic Mac 5.9.6 Released
Black Cat Systems (http://www.blackcatsystems.com) has released version 5.9.6 of the Atomic Mac, a periodic table of the elements and nuclear database for the Macintosh. The latest version adds additional isotopes for elements Hydrogen through Neon, a text window for selecting elements, as well as the ability to change the temperature in the state display using the keyboard.
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 Susceptability
- Electrical Resistivity
- Electron Affinity
- Electric Dipole Polarizability
- State (gas, liquid, solid)
- Photoelectric Work Function
- Electronegativity
- Crystal Structure
- Abundance in Earth's Crust
- Abundance in Earth's Sea
- Abundance in Earth's Atmosphere
- Abundance in Solar System
- Photon Interactions
- Visible Light Spectra
- Magnetic Dipole Moment
- Electric Quadrupole Moment
- Nuclear Spin
- Superconducting Critical Temperature
The Atomic Mac is available in two versions: The Carbon version will run under Mac OS X, as well as MacOS 9 and MacOS 8.6 with CarbonLib installed. A PowerPC version is also available which runs on previous MacOS versions.
A demo copy may be downloaded from the Atomic Mac web site at the following URL:
