Physium Overview
1 Physium Overview
The Physium application provides you with the following capabilities.
Periodic Table of Elements
The application can be used to display periodic table of elements.
Table shows element atomic number, atomic symbol, atomic weight, etc.
Elements can be search for based on element name, atomic symbol, atomic number or
atomic weight.
Fundamental Physical Constants
The application can be used to display fundamental physical constants, which are
grouped for easy referencing.
Physical constants can be edited and saved as required.
Physical constants can be stored in Alpha memory and used in the RUN MAT mode.

Calling Physium Functions from an eActivity
5 Calling Physium Functions from an eActivity
You can call Physium functions from an eActivity by including a Physium strip in the
eActivity file.
This section explains how to insert a Physium strip into an eActivity file, and how to use
inserted a Physium strip. For details about eActivity operations, see Chapter 10 eActivity in
the manual that comes with the calculator.
k Inserting a Physium Strip into an eActivity File
The following procedure assumes that the eActivity file into which you want to insert the
Physium strip is already open. For information about creating a new file and other basic
eActivity operations, see Basic eActivity File Operation (page 10-1-5) in the manual that
comes with the calculator.
u To insert a Physium Strip into an eActivity file
1. On the eActivity workspace screen, move the cursor the location where you want to insert
the Physium strip.
2. Press 2(STRP).
This will display a dialog box with a list of insertable strips.
3. Use f and c to move the highlighting to the Physium strip you want to insert.

4. Press w.
The strip is inserted above the line or the strip where the cursor is currently located.
5. Enter up to 16 characters for the strip title.
6. Press w to assign the title to the strip.
This will highlight the strip.
You can execute the strip here by pressing w. For details about operations that are
required when you execute a strip, see Calling a Physium Function from a Physium
Strip below.
k Calling a Physium Function from a Physium Strip
This section explains operations for Physium strip that can be inserted into an eActivity file.
The following procedure assumes that the applicable Physium strip has already been
inserted into an eActivity file that is currently open.
1. On the eActivity workspace screen, use the f and c keys to move the highlighting to
the Physium strip.

Note that the Catalog Function described in the manual that comes with the calculator is
not supported by Physium.
The atomic weights in this application are based on those recommended by 2009 IUPAC
(International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry).
The physical constants in this application are based on those recommended by the 2010
CODATA.
A scientific constant in this application may be slightly different depending on the year it is
presented or books it is presented. Refer to appropriate information that fits your purpose
before use.
The classification of rare earth elements may be slightly different from those in typical
textbooks or magazines in the USA.
The classification of transition elements may be slightly different from those in typical
textbooks or magazines in the USA.
