Free chemistry related software - easier than using Wiki!


With a new install of Linux, along came a number of chemistry apps/programs and many more that were optional. This got me thinking that there might be some more online so I did a little digging and came across some really helpful apps/programs that will help anyone from someone just learning chemistry to those with decades of experience under their belt!

So there are programs as simple as the periodic table, that list the general information you would find in one of the first sections of Wiki, like Atomic #, weight, electron config, name in many different languages (which is actually kind of useful!), bonds, MP, BP, etc

another app does similar but offers a little more including spectrum wavelength(s), Isotopes, atom model, electronegativity, and more. This one also has a molecular editor, isotope table, a complex calculator that will give the mass of any compound (and name if known), concentration calculator (very handy for figuring out moles, etc), Nuclear calculator (half life and such), gas calc (volume at various pressure/temp/etc - select fields you know and work in any direction), Titration calculator & plotter (can save graphs/plots & data!) and finally equation balancer. The name of this program is Kalzium. This is part of the KDE (K desktop enviornment).

Another program is called "BKChem" which is a free chemical drawing program for Linux, Win & Mac.


Large collection of Chmistry apps for Linux (many have MS & Mac ports)

Chemistry apps that have come out of the Debian Linux program - a very nice selection of programs!

Here is a link to ArchLinux apps (should run on most linux and may have Max/Win ports) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/List_of_applications/Sc... There are lots of interesting apps here.


Here is a page that has general scientific software
https://www.linuxlinks.com/scientific/

I'm going to pick through many of these programs and see if any of them stand out or are particularly interesting of useful. If anyone gets the urge to take a look, feel free to share what you find, especially if you find something like just mentioned.
