Miscellaneous`ChemicalElements`

Basic properties of the chemical elements.

This loads the package.

This gives the atomic weight of tungsten using the data in the package.

If you ask for the atomic weight of an unstable element, Mathematica issues a warning message.

AtomicWeight::"unstable": "No stable isotope of \!\(Plutonium\) exists."

This switches off the warning message.

Here is a plot of the ratio of atomic weight to atomic number.

Physical properties of chemical elements.

The densities given are usually for the elements at  Kelvin and one atmosphere pressure. A message is generated if the density given is for another temperature or for a special form of the element. The thermal conductivities are for the specified elements at  Kelvin unless a message is returned giving an exception.

This gives the heat of fusion of nitrogen.

When you ask for the density, Mathematica warns you that this density is taken at a temperature of 21 Kelvin. The standard used for most other elements is 298 Kelvin.

Density::"temp": "Density is for \!\(Nitrogen\) at \!\(21\) Kelvin."

This thermal conductivity is for the gaseous state.

ThermalConductivity::"form": "Thermal conductivity is for the \!\(\"gaseous\"\) form of \!\(Nitrogen\)."

Electronic structure of chemical elements.

When you use ElectronConfiguration to get the electronic configuration of an element, the result is a list using the standard order of listing of subshells  ,  ,  ,  . Each shell is grouped into a sublist. ElectronConfigurationFormat returns the number of electrons in each subshell along with the label for the subshell.

This gives the electronic configuration as a list in the standard format.

This includes the orbital labels in the list.

Ionization potential and specific heat of chemical elements.

This gives the specific heat of potassium.

This gives the ionization potential of helium.

Here is a plot of the ionization potential against the atomic number of the elements.

Abundances of the chemical elements.

This gives the ten most abundant elements in the Solar System.
