How to Use This Program
The Illustrated Periodic Table can be used effectively in introductory chemistry classes as a visual demonstration aid, particularly when discussing descriptive chemistry or structural chemistry. It is a convenient way to display video sequences from the Periodic Table Videodisc. In addition, students can use it as a reference from which to find information on individual elements that can be used when writing papers or to answer questions posed by their instructor. Several sample exercises for students to carry out are included in the written documentation. High school or college students who have been assigned to choose an element and write or report orally on it will find The Illustrated Periodic Table to be an excellent resource.
Hardware and Software Requirements
Software in Series D of JCE: Software requires Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or later and associated hardware as defined by Microsoft. We recommend an IBM-PC or compatible computer with an 80386 or higher processor, a minimum of 4 MB of memory, a hard disk, one 3.5-in. floppy disk drive to install the software, a mouse, and a Windows-compatible graphics card (such as a VGA or a SVGA adapter) with a compatible color monitor. DOS version 5.0 or later is highly recommended.
In addition to the hardware and software recommended above, the charting feature of The Illustrated Periodic Table requires Microsoft Excel for Windows version 4.0 or greater. To display video directly on a monitor requires that an IBM M-Motion video adapter and associated software be installed in the computer.
Installation of The Illustrated Periodic Table requires about 15 MB of hard disk space.
