One For Your Science Staff: Periodic Table Explorer
This does more than some other packages I have seen. The download is offered as Zip, Standalone and Executable only. I found that the Zip and Executable only were corrupt after download.
The Standalone is presented as an installer, but once installed seems to be quite portable [I have tested some of the features of the program running from a central location and it all seems to work OK]
Best of all it is freeware. Also the latest release was only a few days ago.
Just downloaded and had a quick play and I'd have to disagree with that. Granted the somewhat colourful periodic table display might not be to everyone's taste but the colours are there for a reason, and frankly I've seen commercial apps look much worse than this. Other parts of the application may be more to your taste - see my screenshot attached (and yes, I blatantly cheated at making it look nicer by running it on Vista instead of XP with the Fisher Price theme!)
From my quick look through this also seems to have a wealth of information in it. Really nice to see freeware of this quality, in my opinion. The ZIP download opened fine for me in 7-Zip, by the way.
For those that liked this application originally there is an update on the website now:
Version 1.7:
Added "map" tab; see what each country produces/mines
Added "on this day..."
Shows important scientific events that happened in history
Added full text index
Data pages "menu" updated for all pages
Improved search
Some bug fixes and data updates.
