Variable Documentation

AtomicNumber BALL::Element::atomic_number_ [private]

The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element.

Definition at line 599 of file PTE.h.

Element* BALL::PTE_::atomic_number_to_element_[] [static, private]

Definition at line 776 of file PTE.h.

atomic radius (in Angstrom)

Definition at line 612 of file PTE.h.

The atomic weight of an element (resp. of its most stabile isotope) is the ratio of the mass of one mole of the element in a defined source to 1/12 of the mass of chemically unbound C-12 in its nuclear and electronic ground state. Adapted from the 1993 report of the IUPAC Commission on Atomic Weights and Isotopic Abundances

Element BALL::PTE_::element_[] [static, private]

Definition at line 770 of file PTE.h.

Group BALL::Element::group_ [private]

The group number is an identifier used to describe the column of the standard periodic table in which the element appears.

NOTES: There is considerable confusion surrounding the Group labels. The scheme used in WebElements is numeric and is the current IUPAC convention. The other two systems are less desirable since they are confusing, but still in common usage. The designations A and B are completely arbitrary. The first of these (A left, B right) is based upon older IUPAC recommendations and frequently used in Europe. The last set (main group elements A, transition elements B) was in common use in America.
