Periodic Table System || C Code Projects for School students

 Reference: CCP_L01_E02_Periodic Table

Introduction

Are you a student learning C programming and looking for an exciting academic project? A Periodic Table System in C is a fantastic way to apply file handling, data structures, and modular programming while creating a real-world educational tool.

In this blog post, we will explore how to design, implement, and enhance a basic Periodic Table system using C, which allows users to view elements, search, and retrieve details dynamically from a file.


Project Overview

🔹 Project Type: Academic Project for Beginners (8-16 years)
 ðŸ”¹ Programming Language: C
 ðŸ”¹ Tools Required: Code::Blocks IDE, minGW C Compiler
 ðŸ”¹ Concepts Used: File Handling, Structs, Modular Programming

Core Functionalities

✅ View Periodic Table in a structured format
 ✅ Search elements by name, symbol, or atomic number
 ✅ Retrieve detailed element properties
 ✅ Store and read data from
elements.txt
 ✅ Simple text-based UI for user interaction


System Design & Implementation

1️⃣ Setting Up the Project

To get started, follow these steps:

     Step 1: Open Code::Blocks IDE

     Step 2: Create a new C file (periodic_table.c)

     Step 3: Copy & paste the provided C code

     Step 4: Create elements.txt for data storage

     Step 5: Compile & Run the program


2️⃣ Sample elements.txt Data

This file contains structured periodic table element data:

1,H,Hydrogen,1.008,Gas,Non-metal

2,He,Helium,4.0026,Gas,Noble Gas

3,Li,Lithium,6.94,Solid,Alkali Metal

 

🔹 Ensure elements.txt is in the same folder as periodic_table.c


3️⃣ Features & Code Explanation

The project consists of multiple functional modules:
 
File Handling: Reads data from elements.txt
 Menu-Driven System: Displays interactive options
 
Search Functionality: Finds elements by atomic number or symbol
 Detailed Information View: Retrieves properties of an element

🔹 Main Code Structure:

void loadElements(Element elements[], int *count);

void displayTable(Element elements[], int count);

void searchElement(Element elements[], int count);

void showElementDetails(Element elements[], int count);

 

🔹 Output Example:

=========================

  Periodic Table System 

=========================

1. View Periodic Table

2. Search Element

3. View Element Details

4. Exit

Enter your choice: 2

 

Enter atomic number or symbol: O

Found: Oxygen (O) - Atomic Number: 8, Atomic Mass: 15.999

 


Enhancements & Future Improvements

💡 Want to take it to the next level? Try these enhancements:
 Add more elements to
elements.txt
 Implement sorting by atomic mass
 Enhance UI with formatted colors
 Introduce an interactive quiz mode


Final Thoughts

A Periodic Table System in C is a great learning project that teaches file handling, structured data storage, and search algorithms. Whether you're a beginner or an educator, this project helps reinforce C programming fundamentals in a fun and practical way!
