Periodic Table Element Symbol - Keychain or Sign

[bwente]

Just got around to posting this, couldn’t decide which category was best.

Fun project I made over the weekend.

Element Speller

[deirdrebeth]

That’s fabulous
Resisting making way too many keychains!

[bwente]

Me too, that and coasters.

[cynd11]

Very cool idea!

[bwente]

Well, it isn’t very original. But, it is sure a lot easier to make the design. Just type in a word in it figures out the shortest version possible.

Fantastic use of Cuttle’s extensibility!

I had a little help from ChatGPT.

Hey, chatbot… create an array of the periodic table of elements.

“does it.”

With their names in alphabetical order.

Here is an array that contains the elements of the periodic table, listed in alphabetical order by their element name:

["Ac", "Ag", "Al", "Am", "Ar", "As", "At", "Au", "B", "Ba", "Be", "Bh", "Bi", "Bk", "Br", "C", "Ca", "Cd", "Ce", "Cf", "Cl", "Cm", "Cn", "Co", "Cr", "Cs", "Cu", "Db", "Ds", "Dy", "Er", "Es", "Eu", "F", "Fe", "Fl", "Fm", "Fr", "Ga", "Gd", "Ge", "H", "He", "Hf", "Hg", "Ho", "Hs", "I", "In", "Ir", "K", "Kr", "La", "Li", "Lr", "Lu", "Lv", "Mc", "Md", "Mg", "Mn", "Mo", "Mt", "N", "Na", "Nd", "Ne", "Ni", "No", "Np", "O", "Os", "P", "Pa", "Pb", "Pd", "Pm", "Po", "Pr", "Pt", "Pu", "Ra", "Rb", "Re", "Rf", "Rg", "Rh", "Rn", "Ru", "S", "Sb", "Sc", "Se", "Sg", "Si", "Sm", "Sn", "Sr", "Ta", "Tb", "Tc", "Te", "Th", "Ti", "Tl", "Tm", "Ts", "U", "V", "W", "Xe", "Y", "Yb", "Zn", "Zr"]

create an multidimensional array of the periodic table of elements with their names in alphabetical order.

Here is a multidimensional array that contains the elements of the periodic table, listed in alphabetical order by their element name. Each element is represented by a subarray with the following structure:

[
  element name,
  element symbol,
  atomic number,
  atomic weight,
  group,
  period
]

Here is the array:

[ 
["Actinium", "Ac", 89, 227, "Actinides", 7], 
["Silver", "Ag", 47, 107.8682, "Transition Metals", 5], 
["Aluminum", "Al", 13, 26.9815386, "Poor Metals", 3], 
["Americium", "Am", 95, 243, "Actinides", 7], 
["Argon", "Ar", 18, 39.948, "Noble Gases", 3], 
["Arsenic", "As", 33, 74.92160, "Metalloids", 4], 
["Astatine", "At", 85, 210, "Halogens", 6], 
["Gold", "Au", 79, 197, "Transition Metals", 6], 
["Boron", "B", 5, 10.811, "Metalloids", 2], 
["Barium", "Ba", 56, 137.327, "Alkaline Earth Metals", 6],
....

Perfect!

[chris1]

Huh. I wouldn’t have trusted it.

[kelley1]

Better living through chemistry. I love it!

[MakerMatthew]

Wow! Interesting!

[rvogt]

This is really cool!

[bwente]

I added some fictional elements to make all the words.

[marthajackson1970]

How fun! Now I wish I knew a chemist or chemistry teacher!

[kelley1]

How about one for Unobtanium?

[hansepe]

I really wish that was a real material. Unobtanium makes every design better!

[dhaykus]

Just had a thought while playing with this. Instead of having it save each filename as “Element Speller - Layout” for every one we try, would it be possible to read the periodicname line and use it as part of the saved name? For example in the sample the file name would be “Element Speller - Bacon”. Then each filename would be different and it would save a rename step, just a random thought.

Thanks.

[bwente]

I requested that feature in the Cuttle Discord channel. It’s on the todo list.

[dhaykus]

Okay, cool. Something to watch for.

@kelley1

one for Unobtanium?

One could list CN as cyanide among the Ignoble gasses?
