Elementy¶
This package provides an interface to a variety of different data on elements of the periodic table.
Installation¶
The metallurgy package can be installed from pypi using pip:
pip install elementy
Usage¶
Access to elemental data is easily obtained by creating an instance of the periodic table:
from elementy import PeriodicTable
periodic_table = PeriodicTable()
>>> periodic_table.elements["Cu"]["mass"]
63.546
>>> periodic_table.elements["Cu"]["valence_electrons"]
11
>>> periodic_table.elements["Cu"]["melting_temperature"]
1357.77
