If \meta{element name} contains non-ascii symbols the optional argument \meta{alt.\@ name} must be given. In this case \meta{alt.\@ name} must be used in \elements' other macros where an element's name can be given as argument. \command{DeclareAtomName}[\oarg{alt.\@ name}\marg{atomic number}\marg{element name}] This is the same as \cs{setatomname} but used before begin document or in packages/classes. \command{saveelementname}[\marg{cs}\Marg{\meta{atomic number}|\meta{element symbol}|\meta{element name}}] Saves the name of the given element as replacement text for the macro \meta{cs}. \end{commands} \begin{example}[side-by-side] \elementname{Cu} \par \elementname{11} \par \saveelementname\foo{28} \ttfamily\meaning\foo \end{example} \section{Element Symbols} \begin{commands} \command{elementsymbol}[\Marg{\meta{atomic number}|\meta{element name}}] Prints the element symbol of a given element as defined with \cs{setatomsymbol}. \command{setatomsymbol}[\marg{atomic number}\marg{element symbol}] Define or redefine the symbol of an element. \command{DeclareAtomSymbol}[\marg{atomic number}\marg{element symbol}] This is the same as \cs{setatomsymbol} but used before begin document or in packages/classes. \command{saveelementsymbol}[\marg{cs}\Marg{\meta{atomic number}|\meta{element symbol}|\meta{element name}}] Saves the symbol of the given element as replacement text for the macro \meta{cs}. \end{commands} \begin{example}[side-by-side] \elementsymbol{13} \par \elementsymbol{Sulfur} \par \saveelementsymbol\foo{83} \ttfamily\meaning\foo \end{example} \section{Atomic Numbers} \begin{commands} \command{atomicnumber}[\Marg{\meta{element symbol}|\meta{element name}}] Prints the atomic number of a given element. \command{Z}[\Marg{\meta{element symbol}|\meta{element name}}] An alias of \cs{atomicnumber} but only defined at begin document and only if it isn't defined already. \command{saveatomicnumber}[\marg{cs}\Marg{\meta{atomic number}|\meta{element symbol}|\meta{element name}}] Saves the atomic number of the given element as replacement text for the macro \meta{cs}. \end{commands} \begin{example}[side-by-side] \atomicnumber{U} \par \atomicnumber{Chlorine} \par \saveatomicnumber\foo{Kr} \ttfamily\meaning\foo \end{example} \section{Electron Configuration} \begin{commands} \command{elconf}[\Marg{\meta{atomic number}|\meta{element symbol}|\meta{element name}}] Typesets the electron configuration of the given element. \command{writeelconf}[\marg{electron distribution}] Typesets the electron distribution \meta{electron distribution}. The input is the same as described below for \cs{setelectrondistribution}. \command{setelectrondistribution}[\marg{atomic number}\marg{electron distribution}] This set the electron distribution associated with the atom number \meta{atomic number}. \meta{electron distribution} is a comma-separated list of the number of electrons placed on each shell from inner to outer shell. For example \verbcode+\setelectrondistribution{3}{2,0,1}+ would be an excited \elementname{3}. The number of electrons with the same principal quantum number but a different angular quantum number are separated with a \code{+} ordered by the angular quantum number, \ie, first \emph{s}, then \emph{p}, then \emph{d}, and then \emph{f} . \elementname{29}’s distribution would be declared like this: \\ \verbcode!\setelectrondistribution{29}{2,2+6,2+6+10,1}!. \\ A declaration with \verbcode!\setelectrondistribution{29}{2,8,18,1}! would work but then \verbcode!\elconf{29}! would give the wrong results. \command{DeclareElectronDistribution} This is the same as \cs{setelectrondistribution} but used before begin document or in packages/classes. \command{printangularmomentum}[\marg{angular momentum}] \sinceversion{0.1e}This command is used be \cs{elconf} and \cs{writeelconf} for typesetting $\printangularmomentum{s}$, $\printangularmomentum{p}$, $\printangularmomentum{d}$, \ldots{} You can redefine it if you want to change how those functions are typeset (keeping in mind that it will be used in \emph{math mode}). The initial definition is:\par \verbcode+\newcommand*\printangularmomentum[1]{\mathrm{#1}}+ \end{commands} \begin{example}[side-by-side] \writeelconf{2,2+6,2+6+7} \par \elconf{Cl} \end{example} There is currently \emph{no way} to get the electron configuration in the shortened way (\eg: [Ar]$\printangularmomentum{d}^{10}4\printangularmomentum{s}^1$). \section{Isotope Lists} \begin{commands} \command{setatomisotopes}[\marg{atomic number}\marg{isotope list}] Defines or redefines the isotope list for a given element. \meta{isotope list} should be a comma seperated list of integers. One of the integers may be preceded with a \code{!} to mark the main isotope for the given element: \verbcode+\setatomisotopes{6}{10,11,!12,13,14,15,16}+ \command{DeclareAtomIsotopes}[\marg{atomic number}\marg{isotope list}] This is the same as \cs{setatomisotopes} but used before begin document or in packages/classes. \command{saveelementisotopes}[\marg{cs}\Marg{\meta{atomic number}|\meta{element symbol}|\meta{element name}}] Saves the isotope list of the given element as replacement text for the macro \meta{cs}. \command{savemainelementisotope}[\marg{cs}\Marg{\meta{atomic number}|\meta{element symbol}|\meta{element name}}] Saves the main isotope of the given element as replacement text for the macro \meta{cs}. If the isotope list of the element contains no main isotope \meta{cs} will be equivalent to \cs*{@empty}. \command{mainelementisotope}[\Marg{\meta{atomic number}|\meta{element symbol}|\meta{element name}}] Print\sinceversion{0.1d} the main isotope of the given element. If the isotope list of the element contains no main isotope nothing will be printed. \end{commands} \begin{example}[side-by-side] \ttfamily \saveelementisotopes\foo{C} \meaning\foo\par \savemainelementisotope\foo{C} \meaning\foo\par \normalfont \mainelementisotope{C} \end{example} \clearpage \addsec{Element Properties} On the following pages a table containing the properties known to \elements\ is printed. For those interested: the code used to get the table is as follows (using the packages \pkg{lscape}~\cite{pkg:lscape}, \pkg{longtable}~\cite{pkg:longtable} and \pkg{booktabs}~\cite{pkg:booktabs}). \begin{sourcecode}[gobble=0] \setlength\LTleft\fill \setlength\LTright\fill \newcounter{element} \setcounter{element}{1} \begin{landscape} \begin{longtable}{lllll} \toprule Number & Symbol & Name & Main Isotope & Electron Configuration \\ \midrule \endhead \whileboolexpr{test{\ifnumless{\value{element}}{113}}} { \theelement & \elementsymbol{\arabic{element}} & \elementname{\arabic{element}} & \mainelementisotope{\arabic{element}} & \elconf{\arabic{element}} \stepcounter{element} \\ } {} \end{longtable} \end{landscape} \end{sourcecode} \setlength\LTleft\fill \setlength\LTright\fill \newcounter{element} \setcounter{element}{1} \begin{landscape} \begin{longtable}{lllll} \toprule Number & Symbol & Name & Main Isotope & Electron Configuration \\ \midrule \endhead \whileboolexpr{test{\ifnumless{\value{element}}{113}}} { \theelement & \elementsymbol{\arabic{element}} & \elementname{\arabic{element}} & \mainelementisotope{\arabic{element}} & \elconf{\arabic{element}} \stepcounter{element} \\ } {} \end{longtable} \end{landscape} \end{document}
