The Atomic Dashboard
The Atomic Dashboard is an interactive chemistry resource and learning tool developed by Bitwixt Software Systems (@Atomsmith1). Used by educators, students, scientists, and the simply curious, The Atomic Dashboard features an interactive periodic table that lets you explore the chemical elements -- their properties, periodic trends, history, and relevance to society. And more exciting, with its new 3D Molecule Library and its physics-based, 3D models of atomic orbitals, molecules, compounds, gases, and crystals, you can explore the relationships between the behavior of atoms and molecules and their 3D structure.
A Dashboard for Chemical Knowledge
Nearly 150 years ago, the distinguished Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev discovered previously hidden relationships between the physical and chemical properties of the elements and their atomic weights. Ordering pieces of paper representing the elements into a two-dimensional grid -- a table -- he grouped together elements with similar properties. Thus was born the periodic table.
Over the years, as the periodic table was expanded, it revealed the organizing principles of matter. In fundamental ways, it contains all of chemistry -- in ways that even Mendeleev could never have dreamed. Master its secrets and you're on your way to mastering chemistry.
Yet, for much of that time the periodic table has remained lifeless -- a collection of boxes mounted on the walls of desolate lecture halls and on the inside covers of musty textbooks.
The Atomic Dashboard Brings the Periodic Table to Life
Whether you're a student, a teacher, or someone who just wants to understand how the universe works, The Atomic Dashboard will connect you to everything you need to know about the building blocks of matter, the elements:
• see what they look like in the macroscopic world
• dive down to see what they look like in the atomic-level world
• explore how they are constructed at the atomic level
• investigate how the atoms combine into different forms of the elements
• discover how they combine with other elements to form compounds
• look up their physical properties
• determine how their properties depend on the structure of the atom (periodic trends)
• learn about each element’s abundance in the earth’s crust, in seawater and in the solar system
• delve into their history
• build your atoms using the NEW Electron Configuration Lab
• keep informed of news about the elements in today's world
• link to interesting and informative resources about the elements on the web (e.g., famous actors sing "The Elements" song or see sodium explode in water)
Explore a Vast Collection of 3D Molecules
Now you can also use The Atomic Dashboard to find, download and view interesting molecules from a collection of 25 million 3D models available in the PubChem database at the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
• Search the PubChem database by molecule name, by chemical formula, or by searching for terms as wide ranging as "vitamins," "hydrocarbons," or "detergents." Download these molecules and inspect them using the unique 3D viewing tools in The Atomic Dashboard's Model Window.
• Explore the bonding characteristics of molecules, including the covalent bonding structure ("3D Lewis structures") and the locations of lone pair electrons.
• If you're taking organic chemistry, zoom in and examine the 3D features of organic molecules that are so important to reaction mechanisms.
• Calculate the molecular mass and percent composition of the elements that make up a molecule by entering its chemical formula.
The Atomic Dashboard's user interface is dead simple -- it's the periodic table. And as you navigate The Atomic Dashboard, you are also navigating the principles of chemistry.
This app does OK, but what would be helpful especially for the search mode in the 3D models would be a toolbar or even a button to do sub numbers. Occasionally the search doesn't recognize numbers in line with the letters as sub numbers. Ex. Formaldehyde CH2O is not recognized when you type in CH2O, but when Formaldehyde is input it is recognized. only thing keeping from 5 star review. Another thing that would be helpful is chemical equation balanching feature. overall a solid app for a college student even getting into upper level Chem classes.
Extremely Useful and Lots of Fun

The Atomic Dashboard is a tour de force. It is exceptionally easy to use and is packed to the brim with useful information. The information provided for each element in the periodic table is very detailed and presented in an intuitive and informative fashion. The app has plenty of detail for scientific use but is also accessible and user-friendly enough that students of all ages will enjoy using it. It also includes a very fast and responsive 3D Molecule viewer and the ability to download complex molecules of interest from an online database for viewing. Perhaps my favorite feature is the collection of current news articles involving elements and molecules, for each one you can click on the molecule and load it into the 3D viewer - this would be tremendously useful in the classroom and for those homework assignments where the teacher assigns each student an element and asks them to find a news article about it.One of the things that has impressed me is the speed of the application - all of the information is available immediately with no long load times. It is very fluid and seamless to use. Every time I use it I am impressed with the way the information is presented and the obvious thought and care that went into building the app. Extremely well done!
What a helpful app!!!

When you first start using it it can be a little confusing. Sit down and figure it out! Trust me, it's worth it! I'm taking organic chem this semester and I wish I would have found this app at the beginning. Very helpful visuals that you can easily move around to view in a 3-D sort of way. I've looked up over twenty different chemical formulas and have yet to find one that isn't in the 3-D molecule library. Also has a very neat periodic table that can be viewed in many different ways. Very stoked on this!
A help to chemistry students of any age!

This is a great app. Lots of useful information. Seems basic at first but then as you explore it further, you discover that it is packed with details that enrich the study of general and organic chemistry. I only wish this had been around when I was in college.The download from the Apple App Store would not load successfully at first. Although this was an App Store issue, I reached out to Bitwixt Software support and was contacted by a helpful agent within minutes of my email. I am impressed beyond words.
Fixed issue in which electron configuration display from the Element Browser did not work.
