Here's a fun app: goREACT, from the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, lets you create virtual chemical reactions by dragging elements from the periodic table to a “reaction area." You can start by choosing any element, and you’ll get a suggestion prompting you to combine it with another element. Or you can click into the featured reactions that focus on particular areas such as: personal (chemicals in shampoos, toothpaste, soaps, antiperspirants, etc.); around the house (chemicals in laundry detergent, fire extinguishers, etc.); Vroom (chemical reactions related to cars); mother nature (chemical reactions relating to the environment, like water treatment and pollution); and get technical (chemical reactions relating to electronics like lasers and DVDs). When you click on an element, you’ll see a picture and description. When you make a reaction, you’ll see a picture or video of what you created. Available as a mobile app and online.
