Anyone need a Lua version of the periodic table?

Stratiz · July 22, 2018, 4:36pm

Hey guys, I while ago I remade the periodic table in Lua and now I’m giving it out because I don’t really need it anymore and it took a long time for me to makes so I thought I could save someone some time.

Sorted by Atomic Number

{Atomic Number, Symbol, Name, Atomic Mass}

{{1,'H','Hydrogen',1.00794},{2,'He','Helium',4.003},{3,'Li','Lithium',6.941},{4,'Be','Beryllium',9.012182},{5,'B','Boron',10.811},{6,'C','Carbon',12.0107},{7,'N','Nitrogen',14.00674},{8,'O','Oxygen',15.9994},{9,'F','Fluorine',18.9984032},{10,'Ne','Neon',20.1797},{11,'Na','Sodium',22.989770},{12,'Mg','Magnesium',24.3050},{13,'Al','Aluminum',26.981538},{14,'Si','Silicon',28.0855},{15,'P','Phosphorus',30.973761},{16,'S','Sulfur',32.066},{17,'Cl','Chlorine',35.4527},{18,'Ar','Argon',39.948},{19,'K','Potassium',39.0983},{20,'Ca','Calcium',40.078},{21,'Sc','Scandium',44.955910},{22,'Ti','Titanium',47.867},{23,'V','Vanadium',50.9415},{24,'Cr','Chromium',51.9961},{25,'Mn','Manganese',54.938049},{26,'Fe','Iron',55.845},{27,'Co','Cobalt',58.933200},{28,'Ni','Nickel',58.6934},{29,'Cu','Copper',63.546},{30,'Zn','Zinc',65.39},{31,'Ga','Gallium',69.723},{32,'Ge','Germanium',72.61},{33,'As','Arsenic',74.92160},{34,'Se','Selenium',78.96},{35,'Br','Bromine',79.904},{36,'Kr','Krypton',83.80},{37,'Rb','Rubidium',85.4678},{38,'Sr','Strontium',87.62},{39,'Y','Yttrium',88.90585},{40,'Zr','Zirconium',91.224},{41,'Nb','Niobium',92.90638},{42,'Mo','Molybdenum',95.94},{43,'Tc','Technetium',98},{44,'Ru','Ruthenium',101.07},{45,'Rh','Rhodium',102.90550},{46,'Pd','Palladium',106.42},{47,'Ag','Silver',107.8682},{48,'Cd','Cadmium',112.411},{49,'In','Indium',114.818},{50,'Sn','Tin',118.710},{51,'Sb','Antimony',121.760},{52,'Te','Tellurium',127.60},{53,'I','Iodine',126.90447},{54,'Xe','Xenon',131.29},{55,'Cs','Cesium',132.90545},{56,'Ba','Barium',137.327},{57,'La','Lanthanum',138.9055},{72,'Hf','Hafnium',178.49},{73,'Ta','Tantalum',180.9479},{74,'W','Tungsten',183.84},{75,'Re','Rhenium',186.207},{76,'Os','Osmium',190.23},{77,'Ir','Iridium',192.217},{78,'Pt','Platinum',195.078},{79,'Au','Gold',196.96655},{80,'Hg','Mercury',200.59},{81,'Tl','Thallium',204.3833},{82,'Pb','Lead',207.2},{83,'Bi','Bismuth',208.98038}}

Have fun I guess

How much time did this take you? All I remember is learning this in school, however it is neat you were able to do this! Nice work!

Noble_Draconian · July 22, 2018, 5:59pm

Oh wow, thanks!

As8D · July 22, 2018, 7:04pm

Nice, data!

To give some feedback, I think it’d be more user-friendly to use dictionaries - then you have a better idea of what information you’re actually accessing, by doing something like periodicTable[5].Name instead of periodicTable[5][3]

I’ve tried changing your table a bit and adding some missing entries to it - and more than just that, you can also find information about atoms given their symbol or name using a simple metatable

Structure:

{
	Number = int
	Symbol = string,
	Name = string,
	StdWeight = float,
	Period = int,
	Group = int,
	[IsGas = boolean]
}

Obviously there’s a lot more data that could be supplied here, though.

Module code

return setmetatable({
	{Number = 1, Symbol = 'H', Name = 'Hydrogen', StdWeight = 1.00794, Period = 1, Group = 1, IsGas = true},
	{Number = 2, Symbol = 'He', Name = 'Helium', StdWeight = 4.003, Period = 1, Group = 18, IsGas = true},

LOL well for my usage I didn’t care enough to actually go that far in depth with it, but nice.

InfinitumFrost · July 22, 2018, 7:59pm

What did you use the one you made for?

Stratiz · July 22, 2018, 8:22pm

I made a small little game called atom simulator and as you gained electrons your atom type changed.

Tor_Laws · July 22, 2018, 8:25pm

Where’s all the Radioactive ones? Such as Thorium

InfinitumFrost · July 22, 2018, 8:27pm

Sounds like fun!

Stratiz · July 22, 2018, 8:27pm

I think this table is a little outdated, I got the info from a pretty old looking website.

Tor_Laws · July 22, 2018, 8:34pm

Oh well, but your list is like this 56 > 57 > 72 > 73 etc which clearly shows some of the radioactive ones are skipped.

Kiansjet · July 22, 2018, 8:46pm

This is gonna be useful to me someday. I don’t know when, but I will eventually return to this thread and bless your soul.

InfinitumFrost · July 22, 2018, 8:51pm

Write it into a program for a calculator, next chemistry class will be a breeze!

kni0002 · August 29, 2018, 6:20am

Seems like a cool and useful table for periodic table in Roblox , but I prefer to forget about this table from school xD

Wunder_Wulfe · September 22, 2018, 11:30pm

Ive done this before except it used http service on some up-to-date website and parsed the html table so it always had the newer elements name definitions. Also, the atomic number should not be necessary considering it is ordered by their atomic number so it can just be an array.

Edit: I found the code so

local http = game:GetService('HttpService')
local tbl = http:GetAsync('https://ptable.com/')
local elements = {}

for element in tbl:gmatch('<td class="Element.-</a></td>') do
	local an = element:match('<strong.->(.-)<')*1
	local short = element:match('<acronym>(.-)<')
	local long = element:match('<em.->(.-)<')
	local mass = element:match('<i>%(?(.-)%)?<')*1
	elements[an] = {
		Number = an,
		Name = long,
		Nickname = short,
		Mass = mass
	}
end

I think the newer one supported groups and periods but cant find it

alex_ander · April 9, 2019, 3:51am

when you have too much free time

good job though i like it

Stratiz · April 9, 2019, 4:06am

I actually wrote a script to parse the copied text from the website and format it as a table.

Id send the code but I have no clue where it is.

check out the periodic table i created based on your work
